Inter Focuses On Scudetto Race After Champions League Success

Inter Milan recently secured a thrilling victory over Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final, advancing to the final for the second time in three years. Davide Frattesi scored the decisive goal in extra time, leading Inter to a 4-3 win on the night and a 7-6 aggregate triumph. They will face Paris Saint-Germain in Munich for the final. Now, Inter must refocus on Serie A as they prepare to face Torino.

Napoli currently leads Serie A, with Inter trailing by three points and only three matches left. Inter has dominated Torino in their last five encounters, keeping four clean sheets. However, injuries might sideline key players Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram. Frattesi could start after his impressive performance against Barcelona. Inzaghi emphasised that Inter competes on all fronts without prioritising one competition over another.

Despite their recent success, Inter's chances of winning Serie A are slim, with only an 11.8% probability compared to Napoli's 88.5%. Napoli faces Genoa next, who have already secured their place in the division but lost their last three matches. Historically, Napoli has been dominant against Genoa, losing just two of their last 28 meetings while winning 18 times.

Napoli will be missing Alessandro Buongiorno, Juan Jesus, and David Neres due to injuries. Stanislav Lobotka is also doubtful after an ankle injury. Billy Gilmour is expected to replace him in midfield alongside Scott McTominay. McTominay has had an impressive debut season under Antonio Conte, scoring twice in each of his last two home games.

Atalanta strengthened their hold on third place with a commanding 4-0 victory over Monza and will host Roma at Gewiss Stadium on Monday. Roma shares 63 points with Juventus and Lazio, who play each other at Stadio Olimpico on Saturday. Bologna trails them by one point and will face AC Milan next.

Bologna is also preparing for the Coppa Italia final against Roma five days later, aiming for their first major trophy since 1974. Meanwhile, McTominay's recent scoring streak puts him alongside Gonzalo Higuain as one of the few players to score multiple goals in consecutive home games for Napoli since the 1994-95 season.

The Serie A title race remains intense as teams battle for top positions and European qualification spots. With crucial matches ahead, every point counts for clubs like Inter and Napoli striving for glory this season.
