1O Points clear!
Inter Milan extended their lead in Serie A to 10 points on Friday, defeating Salernitana 4-0 ahead of their Champions League match against Atletico Madrid.
Simone Inzaghi is on track to secure his first league title as a coach with a dominant Inter squad that easily dispatched Salernitana, who are currently at the bottom of the league.
Duo scores 2 goals in 2 minutes!
Inter’s star strike duo Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez kicked off the scoring with two goals in just two minutes during the first half. Denzel Dumfries added a third goal shortly before halftime, while Marko Arnautovic sealed the victory with a late goal.
Once again, Inter displayed their strength, fielding a lineup close to Inzaghi’s preferred starting XI. They aim to surpass local rivals AC Milan in winning 20 league titles.
“It’s fantastic because the team is performing at a very high level… I’m really happy about that,” said Inter captain Martinez to DAZN.
Juventus could reduce the Gap!
Juventus could reduce the gap to seven points with one more game played if they win against struggling Verona on Saturday.
However, Inter has won all eight matches since the start of the year and appears superior to their rivals as they prepare for Atletico Madrid’s visit in the first leg of their last 16 tie on Tuesday.
“This team is definitely different from last year; we’ve had many changes, but we must continue to strive for improvement and focus on the next game,” Martinez added.
“Tuesday is crucial for us… so we need to maintain the same mindset, rest a bit, and approach the game with serious intensity.”
Salernitana faced a tough challenge in their first match under Inzaghi’s former Lazio teammate, Fabio Liverani, who took over from Filippo Inzaghi earlier this week.
Liverani faces a significant challenge as Salernitana are currently six points behind Sassuolo, who are just above the relegation zone. Sassuolo will face Champions League contenders Atalanta on Saturday night.
