Milan stretched out on the road to the Scudetto, but Inter did not give up. The championship gets shorter, the fatigue increases, the heat begins and winning games becomes damned more difficult. An episode of Leao chases away Milan’s nightmares against the Viola, while Inter at the end has some apprehension about defending the success against Udinese propitiated by Perisic and Lautaro. But Inzaghi does not give up because he has three rounds in which he can assert his superiority (Empoli, Cagliari and Sampdoria), while Milan defends the two points advantage with opponents of greater depth (Verona, Atalanta and Sassuolo).
But perhaps, superstitiously, it is precisely the commitment of next Sunday at the Bentegodi that worries the less young Rossoneri fans, with the memory of the ‘fatal’ Verona and the scudetto escaped from Rocca and Rivera in May 1973. Meanwhile, some responses are already in the archives: Napoli and Juventus are mathematically in the Champions League. Spalletti witnessed the somewhat belated rebirth of him who asphalted 6-1 a Sassuolo satisfied with his avant-garde championship, thanks to four goals in 20 ‘and the brace of the evergreen Mertens. Allegri gets on with his work: Dybala starting on the bench, the young Miretti holder in midfield, but Bonucci wishes him 35 years with a splendid double that extends Venice.
The question of qualifying for the cups remains open. While waiting for Atalanta, Roma gets blocked by Bologna paying a pledge for the thought of the Conference semifinal on Thursday with Leicester and is hooked by Lazio who comeback Spezia three times and then overcome them in the recovery with the liberating goal of the disputed Acerbi. But precisely that goal, clearly offside not detected by the referee Pairetto or by the Var, arouses a hive of controversy, ridden with irony and spite by Mourinho. Fiorentina, in the third consecutive knockout, have the opportunity to get back into the game by hosting Roma in the next round. Lazio shows character but the defense continues to embark on too many goals. Mourinho lets his owners rest, but when they enter they are not enough to overcome an excellent Bologna that is filling up with glory against the big teams. The fight not to be relegated is increasingly tangled, which has experienced three psychodramas: that of Genoa who was again beaten by Sampdoria in the derby by missing a final penalty with captain Criscito, that of Cagliari that continues to lose and feels breathless. della Salernitana who must recover the match against Venice on Wednesday, again ko. The Venetians, now in free fall despite the replacement of Zanetti, now seem to have almost non-existent hopes. Genoa also have few chances as they have to meet Juventus, Napoli and Bologna. The third relegation will probably pass from next Sunday’s Salernitana-Cagliari match.
