Terrific Inter close to Serie A title - Football Italia

Italian sports papers laud Inter after another 4-0 victory: ‘The Scudetto is closer,’ wrote La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Inter’s 4-0 win over Atalanta at San Siro on Wednesday means the Nerazzurri are now 12 points clear of Juventus at the top of the Serie A table.

Italian sports papers on Thursday understandably praise Simone Inzaghi’s men, who have won 22 league games from 26 this term, losing just once and drawing three times.

Page two of La Gazzetta dello Sport called the Nerazzurri ‘terrific’ and said they are now ‘closer’ to the Serie A title, the 20th in their history.

Tuttosport wrote on page 10 that a ‘stellar’ Inter are now seeing the second star, so the 20th Serie A title in the club’s history.

Il Corriere dello Sport joked on page two that the Nerazzurri are accustomed to playing ‘poker’, having scored four goals in each of the last four Serie A matches against Roma, Salernitana, Lecce and Atalanta.

Inter also have the most prolific attack in the league with 67 goals and the less-beaten defence, conceding just 12 times this season.
