Those from Milan were 6 games behind the leader when 14 dates of a Serie A remain to be played that looks to be defined in record time.
He Inter de Milansecond in the A leaguelost this Sunday in Bologna (1-0) on the 24th date of the Italian championship, giving the leader Napoliwho had won at Empoli (2-0) on Saturday, a mattress of 18 points.
The Neapolitans, with no rival to overshadow them this season in Italy, can thus afford to lose up to six of the 14 games ahead in the league to win the ‘Scudetto’. At this rate, they could win the third league title in their history at the end of April or the beginning of May after the two in the Maradona era (1987, 1990).
Inter accused the expenditure of energy four days earlier to dominate Porto (1-0) in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 and gave up a quarter of an hour from time after a powerful shot from Riccardo Orsolini (76) just ahead of goalkeeper André Onana.
Lautaro Martínez made a pair again with the Belgian Romelu Lukaku but both rounded off a discreet match, like the rest of his teammates. The former Racing man opened the scoring in the first half, with a header that went close to the near post. And a little more.
Bologna, under the coach’s baton Thiago Mottaconfirms its ascending line since mid-January and rises to seventh place, not far from the European positions.
Inter could see themselves matched for second place by Roma (3rd) and AC Milan (4th), both three points behind the Nerazzurri.
The Rossoneri, with the long-awaited return under the sticks of Frenchman Mike Maignan after five months away from the pitch due to injury, host Atalanta (6th) this Sunday. The Giallorossi will visit bottom club Cremonese on Tuesday.
