Inter Milan is pressing for the Serie A championship to be settled so they can concentrate on the Champions League.
From FCInterNews, this is the perspective presented in the print edition of Corriere dello Sport, a daily newspaper published in Rome.
Inter Milan advanced their title challenge at the Via del Mare last night in yet another way.
After Juventus’ thrilling comeback victory over Frosinone, the Nerazzurri crushed Lecce 4-0 in their match.
That implies that Inter maintains their nine-point lead over the Bianconeri at the end of the weekend. And only when playing a game.
AC Milan, meanwhile, drew their home match with Atalanta. Given that they still have the game to play, Inter is thirteen points ahead of their city rivals.
To concentrate on the Champions League, Inter wants to end the Serie A title race.
There’s no mathematical assurance of anything at this point for Inter.
In the league, three more months remain. and lots of chances to make mistakes.
The 2021–22 season will always be bitter for Inter, as they finished last in the league in the spring, allowing Milan to reenter the title fight.
However, that seems to be the precise reason why the Nerazzurri feel so adamant about holding off on letting off on the gas just yet.
Inter put everything on the table to defeat Lecce and win three more points yesterday, despite having a considerably rotated squad.
This Inter team appears to be aware of the chance to give themselves an even stronger edge.
And the team might be able to concentrate just on the Champions League as a result.
Inter won’t be able to fully focus on their European journey as long as they are thinking about competing with Juventus for the championship.
However, Inter can begin to consider another deep run in the Champions League as the first priority the closer they go to mathematically winning the Scudetto.
