Inter Nears 20th Scudetto as Milan Draws with Sassuolo

Milan's draw on Sassuolo's field brings Inter closer to the twentieth scudetto in its history. The Nerazzurri drew yesterday in the match at San Siro against Cagliari (2-2), losing the chance to have two out of three results in the derby against Milan. Here's what needs to happen to celebrate against the Rossoneri. Inter wins the scudetto in the derby if... Here's what needs to happen At the moment, Inter is +14 on the Rossoneri. The 33rd round derby (April 22) could prove to be the match for the arithmetic conquest of the title for Simone Inzaghi's team in case of victory. If the Nerazzurri had won against Cagliari, a draw in the derby would have sufficed. Now, however, Inzaghi's team will need the three points in next Monday's direct clash to be mathematically crowned champions of Italy. In case of a draw, Inter would maintain the 14-point gap from Milan and with 5 rounds remaining (15 points available), the Rossoneri would still have the mathematical possibility of reaching the top. In the case, instead, that Milan should win the derby, it would go to -11 and thus avoid giving the celebration to Inter on the day of the direct clash. Winning in the Derby della Madonnina is not fundamental, as the title does not seem at all in question. It would, however, be the icing on the cake to best celebrate an almost perfect season.
