The title could mathematically come to Inter in the next round, on Monday, April 22, if they win the classic against Milan, who this Sunday suffered a lot to draw 3-3 at the home of modest Sassuolo, second to last in the table. .
“Inter will be champions, but we will try not to make that happen in the classic, we owe it to our fans”, assured Milan coach Stefano Pioli.
This Sunday, at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium, the ‘Nerazzurro’ team was without Argentine top scorer Lautaro Martínez nor French defender Benjamin Pavard, both of whom were suspended.
Despite these absences, the team led by coach Simone Inzaghi took the initiative and managed to take the lead on the scoreboard on two occasions. First with a goal in the 12th minute from Frenchman Marcus Thuram, who took advantage of an excellent pass from Chilean teammate Alexis Sánchez, and then with a penalty converted by Turkish Hakan Calhanoglu (74′).
But on two occasions the Sardinian team managed to equalize, with two low shots into the box from Uzbek Eldor Shomurodov (64′) and Nicolas Viola (83′).
“This draw is disappointing. We are two points away from our goal, so it’s not over yet”, warned Inzaghi.
