Juventus without doubt stands a better chance among other top Italian teams that are trying to overtake Inter Milan in the league standings because of the fact that they're currently not playing in any European competition but that doesn't automatically mean that Inter can't hold on as the league leaders till the end of the season if they truly want to achieve that feat despite their involvement in the UEFA Champions League competition.

In 2010, a Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan won the UEFA Champions League title, the Italian Serie title as well as the Italian Cup and the current Simone Inzaghi's squad can still replicate the same result this season if they work very hard for it.

Maybe Inter can take Serie A and the Italian Cup, but it’s hard for me to imagine what kind of draw should be in the playoffs for Inter to reach the Champions League final again. Maybe this year the line-up of contenders is a little weaker than last year (there are no Liverpool and Chelsea), but it’s hard to believe that Inter will be as lucky as last year, and with any strong opponent from the big three, Inter will be an underdog. Even now in the lightweight group they are in second place and all their victories are with a minimum score.

They're not simply benefiting from good fortune; they've made impressive plays in the Champions League and Serie A. Always keep in mind that they play opponents like league leaders Salzburg and Benfica. That's no easy task. The fact that Inter is able to compete in this group at all says a lot about their ability. They really have a chance to advance in the Champions League, in my opinion. They have fierce competition, to be sure, but that only makes a win more satisfying. They've demonstrated competence and resiliency, and I'm interested to see how they use these in their next games. They could surprise us all, so don't write them off just yet.
