"The story is a familiar one for AC Milan on the day of their game against Parma: Inter won, so they are duty bound to respond with a win of their own. As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) write this morning, Inter are not letting up, and it means that if Milan win against Parma they will remain seven points behind the league leaders, their opponents in two weekends' time in a do-or-die derby."
"Allegri has been doing his calculations again: "Inter are going very well and, if they maintain this average, they will reach 88-90 points. "To reach that level, we would need twelve wins and one defeat... If they were to fall behind and we didn't take advantage of the opportunity, we would be making a grave mistake, but right now, Inter are the clear favourites for the Scudetto.""
Inter's victory leaves AC Milan obliged to beat Parma to stay seven points behind the leaders and face Inter in a crucial derby in two weekends. A win would widen the gap over fifth-placed Juventus to 11 points, moving Milan closer to Champions League qualification with 12 games remaining. Allegri refuses to concede hope, citing four key head-to-head matches against Inter, Napoli, Juventus and Atalanta that keep many points available. Milan seek revenge after surrendering a 2-0 lead in the previous Parma meeting. Past wins against Cagliari, Lecce and Pisa eased concerns about lower-table opponents, but vigilance remains essential.
