Inter and Napoli win narrowly, but the big news is Juve's disastrous defeat in Cagliari. AC Milan and Roma play today.

Let theInter the Naples they won by a "short nose" (1 to 0) as he would say Allegri but they won and therefore the distances at the top of the table remain unchanged while waiting for the Milan and Rome who are playing today. But, even if the Rossoneri were to win, Inter would remain proud leaders. Saturday's surprise was another: the disastrous fall of Juve a Cagliari. More than a fall it was a mockery because the team of Spalletti They dominated the entire match, racking up 18 corners, hitting the post with Yildiz, seeing a supposed penalty on Miretti disallowed by VAR, and in the 65th minute, they were beaten by a powerful volley from Mazzitelli, in one of the very rare Sardinian forays. Cagliari-Juve 1-0. With this result, Juve definitively bid farewell to their Scudetto dreams (they are 10 points behind Inter) and will have to work hard to defend fourth place and a spot in next season's Champions League, which is being threatened by Roma.

But let's get back to Inter and Napoli. The Nerazzurri won on the difficult pitch in Udine with a goal as usual. Lautaro who has already scored 11 goals in the championship and is the sole top scorer in Serie A.Udinese tried in every way to get the equaliser but Inter kept a good guard. Now the team Chivu finds itself in the lead with 49 points, six more than Milan (who are playing today) and Napoli who returned to victory by beating 1-0 Sassuolo thanks to a goal by Lobotka at 7th. The team of Antonio Conte he therefore finds himself chasing but at least he has found victory again.

Today the day will open with Parma-Genoa in the midst of the fight for survival, then the sad Apennine derby between Bologna and Fiorentina with the Viola wearing black armbands for the passing of the president Rocco Comisso. It's there at 18pm Torino-Roma and paradoxically, Juve will have to turn to their cousins ​​from Torino to avoid being overtaken by Roma. But the Giallorossi are determined to take home points and immediately take revenge for their shock elimination from the Coppa Italia.

ROMA AND MILAN LINE-UPS

Gasperini Roma will line up as follows: Svilar; Hermoso, Mancini, Ndicka; Celik, Kone, Cristante, Wesley; Soulè, Dybala, and Malen.

AC Milan will close out the day, buoyed by their win in Como. If they beat Lecce, the Rossoneri will move to 46 points, a few points behind Inter but three points above Napoli.
