Napoli drew with Venezia today and missed another opportunity. This team cannot be champions this year. I don't believe they can be.
Atalanta - Inter match was very important for the league. Inter won 2-0 and increased the point difference with their closest rival to 3 points.
The point difference with Atalanta is 6 points.
It is 3 points with Napoli.
Inter Milan won against a direct competitor for Scudetto and created good advantage after this week and it's their good preparation for coming weeks. They will have to return to UEFA Champions League with quarter final matches and before these matches, they need to play as best as possible in Serie A to avoid any distraction of Champions League on their performances in Serie A around those quarter final matches.
Atalanta still have their chance but they have to try a lot and need some bad results from Inter Milan and Napoli as well. If Atalanta won't maintain good performances in last matches, their third position can be challenged too.
Juventus had to lose very easily to Fiorentina so they had to go home empty-handed. At first I thought Juventus might be able to steal points from this match, but in fact no, they actually had to lose with a fairly big score. Even in terms of play, they did not play well, they could not create many opportunities even though they dominated the game. This result made them have to leave the top 4 in the standings.
Juventus fell to a fifth position and they are in a very difficult race with many clubs for top four. Bologna, Lazio, Roma, Fiorentina and even AC Milan are in this race. AC Milan at the 9th position have only 6 points less than Bologna at the fourth position, it's enough to show severity of this race. Those competitors will have many direct matches in last 9 match days of Serie A too.
