Milan, 30 Mar. (LaPresse) – Three points that taste like the Scudetto. Inter barely beat Udinese 2-1 at San Siro and try to extend their lead at the top of the table, pending the postponed match between Napoli and Milan for Maradona. Thanks to goals from luxury ‘second-string’ players Arnautovic and Frattesi in the first half, Inzaghi's team are temporarily six points ahead of Conte's, who tonight were forced to win to stay in the running. What is certain is that they now have a 9-point lead over Atalanta, who lost today in Florence and are now out of the running. The match against Udinese was over in just over half an hour, giving Inter the chance to manage their energy levels in view of the new mini tour de force that awaits them, even if in the final stages only two masterful saves from Sommer prevented a sensational comeback by Udinese. The Nerazzurri will in fact play 8 matches in the next 24 days, with two double fixtures in the Coppa Italia against Milan and in the Champions League against Bayern. With this condition and this conviction, the Nerazzurri can look forward to the hot phase of the season with confidence. A great goal by Solet in the second half wasn't enough for Udinese; the Friulians woke up too late and suffered their second defeat in a row, remaining stuck on 40 points. In fact, for Runjaic's Friulians the season is already over, with safety assured.
