Samir Handanovic flawless in Inter’s 0-0 draw with Juventus

Inter manager Luciano Spalletti reveals his disbelief at his side’s performance after their 0-0 draw against Juventus.
Inter managed to come away from the J Stadium with a precious point after a hard-fought 0-0 draw.

Luciano Spalletti’s men held more convincingly in the second half,…
