The San Siro bore witness to a tactical clinic on Sunday night as Inter Milan dismantled AS Roma 5-2, moving seven points clear at the summit of Serie A. In a season defined by Inter's relentless consistency, this performance felt like the final coronation in waiting.
Lautaro Martínez and Marcus Thuram were in scintillating form, exposing Roma's high defensive line with surgical precision. Despite a late rally from the Giallorossi, Inter's midfield engine—led by the ever-reliable Nicolò Barella—neutralized any hope of a comeback.
"We played with the heart of champions tonight," Inzaghi remarked post-match. "But the math isn't done yet. We respect every opponent until the trophy is in our hands."
Meanwhile, the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona hosted a chess match between Napoli and AC Milan. A single strike was enough to hand Antonio Conte’s men a -10 victory, propelling them into second place and leaving the Rossoneri's title hopes in tatters. The tactical discipline shown by Napoli was a throwback to Conte’s most rigid and successful setups, frustrating Milan's creative outlets for the full 90 minutes.
