In the Serie A match, Champions Inter Milan drew up against Genoa as they failed to take advantage of their dominance and move level on points with Milan. AC Milan’s unfortunate home draw against Udinese presented a rare opportunity for Inter in the Serie A title fight on Friday but they remained goalless as their local rivals maintained their stronghold at the No.1 rank.
Inter’s blunder could even cost them heavily as Napoli can now reclaim the summit on goal difference with a Lazio win and then hold back Milan next weekend. Inter might enjoy the cushion of a one-game advantage over the two competitors but their mini-slump can ruin their chances to win the second successive title. Their out-of-form performance might have already cost them in the Champions League where Liverpool got the better of them in Leg 1.
