"Inter's last defeat before this was also in the derby against Milan, after which they won 14 and drew one. There's no doubt that Chivu messed up that game; he admitted it himself in the press conference. But I also have to congratulate Milan. Allegri manages to prepare for matches perfectly. It's no coincidence that they won both derbies."
"I think the Scudetto issue is over, because to make up seven points on Inter, who aren't playing in the Champions League, something truly unexpected would have to happen."
Inter holds a commanding seven-point advantage at the top of Serie A despite losing three of their last six matches across all competitions. The Nerazzurri have failed to score in their two most recent games, matching their drought frequency from their previous 40 matches. Despite these concerns, the Opta supercomputer assigns Inter a 92.2% probability of winning the Scudetto, compared to Milan's 6.7% chance. Former Inter striker Giampaolo Pazzini believes the title race is effectively over, citing Inter's historical resilience after derby defeats and their advantage of not competing in the Champions League. Milan's recent tactical improvements under Massimiliano Allegri have narrowed the gap, but Pazzini argues an unexpected event would be required for Milan to overcome the seven-point deficit.
