(ANSA) – ROME, FEBRUARY 07 – Giroud’s brace not only overturned the derby of the Madonnina on Saturday afternoon, but also rekindled hope for Milan and Naples to compete for the Scudetto at Inter until the end. The Nerazzurri, despite the stop suffered, remain the great favorites to win the title as Sisal’s experts see Inter Milan’s Scudetto number 20 at 1.40. But with only one point behind, even if with one more match than Simone Inzaghi’s players, both Milan and Napoli do not hide their ambitions.
The Rossoneri, even without Ibrahimovic and Rebic, gave their cousins a notable push and will now look for help in the calendar to undermine the certainties of Handanovic and his teammates.
Milan, who have not won the Scudetto for 11, is playing winning at 6.00. Flanked in the standings, and at high altitude, to Pioli’s men there is Napoli which not only has found Osimhen but, from next Sunday, will also embrace Koulibaly, fresh champion of Africa with his Senegal. Spalletti, who will host Inter Milan at Maradona on Saturday in a crucial junction in terms of the championship, is not hiding and is aware that imposing another stop on the Nerazzurri would mean starting a new championship with 13 games to go. But the result of the big match on Saturday afternoon could also have repercussions in the postponement on Sunday evening between Atalanta and Juventus. The bianconeri, with one more match, overtook Gasperini’s men and are watching closely the Maradona match: for both the Scudetto today appears a chimera, success would pay the stakes 16 times, but if Napoli were to impose a another stop at Inter, unimaginable scenarios could open up until a few Sundays ago (ANSA).
