Today’s papers: Inter and Roma share points, tributes to Sandro Mazzola | OneFootball

Italian sports dailies lead on Roma’s 2-2 with Inter and heartfelt tributes to Sandro Mazzola, with Lazio’s rise and flashpoints elsewhere completing a busy Sunday.

Corriere dello Sport hails a title-race spectacle, noting Roma raced two ahead before Inter hit back, and argues neither side gained ground yet both burnished their Scudetto credentials. It devotes a major package to Mazzola, recalling his trophies, rivalry with Gianni Rivera and role in bringing Ronaldo, adding the funeral is tomorrow at Sant’Ambrogio.

La Gazzetta calls it a showpiece draw that leaves Roma and Inter level with Lazio at the summit, highlighting doubles from Kone and Lautaro Martinez. It reports Gian Piero Gasperini described his side as presumptuous, and credits Cristian Chivu with the spark that triggered Inter’s comeback. It also says Christos Mandas’s saves set up Lazio’s 2-0 at Venezia before the Aquile pulled clear.

Tuttosport gives its full front page to Mazzola, illustrated by the iconic image of his father Valentino tying his boots at the Filadelfia. It relishes Inter’s customary second-half surge from 2-0 down to 2-2 after Kone’s brace, with Lautaro leading the response, and details Torino’s fury over a penalty not given in the 1-1 at Bologna, where Stipe Kulenovic answered Federico Bernardeschi.

Corriere dello Sport flags an ACL injury for Kamil Grabara in training, described as fresh problems for Luciano Spalletti, noting Juventus face Atalanta this evening. It also highlights Cagliari’s 3-0 at Udinese, five wins in five for the first time since 1969, while Tuttosport trails a new-look Juventus with Kolo Muani alternating wide with Nico Gonzalez and a back three.
