    I do love Tonali and no. 8 is so apt for him.

    Still though Milan are struggling to win where as Inter are tearing teams apart so I'de still say its their title.

    I'd rather have Inter's run-in than Milan's, but I think Inter's game on Wednesday could be awkward. Bologna took a point off Milan and Juve in recent weeks.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,361 ✭✭✭✭breezy1985


    Milans last game is against Sassoulo who seem to be kryptonite to Milan.

    In the old days pazza Inter would find a way to screw it up but that's a long time ago now

    WOOF as James Richardson would say.

    I actually can't believe this title race is back in the devil's hands.

    What a title race. Could be a twist or two left in it as well. Month of May is going to be brilliant.

    Nikki Bandini was pointing out earlier today that all the "easy" games Inter have left are exactly the kind of hard games AC had over the last few weeks so maybe the run in isn't what it seems.

    I'm sure all my enthusiasm will be dashed again 90+ mins after the start of Milan's next match

    Shocking error from Radu for the goal. was Handanovic injured? See he was on the bench



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,361 ✭✭✭✭breezy1985


    Apparently a niggling back injury. They only made a definite decision to pull him an hour before the game which is why he was listed in the squad.

    As for Radu you couldn't do that if you tried. If Inter lose the league that's the end of his Serie A career I would say.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Dramatic end to the derby between Samp and Genoa. Criscito had an injury time pen to get Genoa a point but Audero saved it. Going to be tough for Genoa to survive with Juve, Napoli and Bologna to come. Can't see them getting more than 3 points. Looks like it's between Cagliari and Salernitana for the final relegation spot.

    Milan goalless against Fiorentina at half-time. Giroud missed a good chance to take the lead.

    Leao blazes over a great chance at the start of the 2nd half. Is it going to be one of those days...

    Wow, massive save from Maignan to keep out Cabral's header. Almost a disaster for Milan.

    Leao scores! Awful goalkeeping it must be said. Big goal if they can hold out.

    Milan see it out. Pressure now on Inter ahead of their game at Udinese.

    What a massive win for Milan.

    Strap yourselves in this is going to be a thrilling ending of the league



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Half-time and Inter 2-0 ahead at Udinese. Looks like they will cut the lead back to 2 points.

    Hang on, Pussetto pulls one back for Udinese. About twenty minutes to go.

    3 games to go and Milan can afford 1 draw as things stand.

    If Roma don't win tonight the Champions League places are set.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Inter get the win they need to close the gap.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,830 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    Inter remaining fixtures

    Inter v Empoli

    Cagliari V Inter

    Inter v Sampdoria

    -------------------------------

    AC Milan remaining Fixtures

    Verona v AC Milan

    AC Milan v Atalanta

    Sassuolo V AC Milan

    -----------------------------------------

    Inter have the much easier run in



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    I don't think Inter will drop any more points. Verona will be tricky but I think Milan will win. Sassuolo look like they're on holidays, so I believe Milan win that as well. The Atalanta one is the one that I could see causing a scare. Atalanta have been disappointing but they have the firepower to cause problems. Going to be great to see how it unfolds.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,361 ✭✭✭✭breezy1985


    Milans record against Sassoulo is shocking though



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Great point for Salernitana at Atalanta. I thought they'd lose that one. They're in great form of late. Next two games are against fellow strugglers Venezia and Cagliari, and on current form I reckon they can get out of the bottom three.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Salernitana out of the bottom three after beating Venezia. The great escape is on. Venezia and Genoa look down now. Looks like it's between Salernitana and Cagliari for survival and they're playing each other on Sunday.

    Some turnaround from salernitana to be fair. Venezia are garbage, seen them in the flesh a few weeks ago against Fiorentina and they offer nothing. Genoa in serious trouble too.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Interesting start at the San Siro. Inter 1-0 down to Empoli after 5 minutes thanks to Inter loanee, Pinamonti.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    It's 2-0 Empoli! Inter in trouble here.

    2-1. Dimarco's cross turned in for an O.G.

    2-2! Lautaro equalises. What a half.

    3-2. Lautaro completes the turnaround. After a poor start, Inter have come back well.

    3-2 to Inter now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Sanchez makes sure of the result and Inter are back on top. Pressure now on Milan as they visit Verona on Sunday. This title race continues to be great fun.

    Some laye drama in June game. Genial equalised on 87th minute and a last kick of the game penalty sealed a home win.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,375 ✭✭✭chicorytip


    The second coming of Allegri has not been a resounding success.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Incredible ending. Genoa captain Criscito missed a penalty last weekend against Sampdoria in the 96th minute and was in tears at the final whistle. He stepped up again in the 96th minute against Juve but this time stuck it away.

    I'd still say it's too big an ask for them to survive (they're away to Napoli next) but they've at least given themselves a chance.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Salernitana leading Cagliari thanks to a pen with twenty minutes to go. All kicking off with the two benches. Ribery has been given a red card, so he won't be coming on. If Cagliari lose this, they're surely gone.

    Oh my goodness. Salernitana keeper just gave away a pen in stoppage time.

    Ref overturns his decision after a VAR review. That was very tight but probably the correct call. Cagliari furious.

    Cagliari equaliser on 99 minutes! What a finish to this game.

    Full-time. Cagliari keep their hopes alive. They're home to Inter next week which should be good.

    Verona lead Milan. Faraoni with a nice header. Inter going top as it stands.

    1-1. Tonali scores after brilliant work from Leao. Last action of the half as well.

    2-1. Tonali scores again after linking up with Leao again.

    3-1. Sub Florenzi with a nice strike to wrap up the win.

    Full-time. Job done for Milan. Atalanta next week will be massive.
