Atalanta Hold Inter Milan, Juve Await Coronation

By Daily Sports on April 8, 2019

Inter Milan were held to a goalless draw by Champions League rivals Atalanta on Sunday before Napoli host Genoa in a game which could hand champions Juventus an eighth consecutive league title.

Atalanta – without suspended star striker Duvan Zapata – missed the chance to move fourth and into the Champions League berths at the expense of AC Milan who fell 2-1 at Juventus on Saturday.

Inter are third on 57 points – a massive 27 points behind Juventus – with Milan five points adrift of their city rivals.

Bergamo side Atalanta are equal on points with Milan but behind in fifth position on goal difference.

Juventus will claim an eighth Serie A title – with a record seven games to spare – if second-placed Napoli slip up at their San Paulo Stadium.

The Turin giants have a 21-point advantage on Napoli and have won both their direct clashes with Carlo Ancelotti’s side this season.

In Milan, Icardi returned to the San Siro for the first time since a defeat to Bologna on February 3, and was greeted with a mixture of whistles and cheers from the home crowd.

The Argentina striker had scored on his return at Genoa last weekend after six weeks out after being stripped of the captaincy over a contract dispute.

Teammate Matias Vecino thought he had scored minutes into the game but the goal was disallowed for offside, with Icardi also denied early.

Atalanta missed Colombian ace Zapata, who has scored 20 times this season, as he sat out the game after his yellow card in a 4-1 win over Bologna last Thursday. (SuperSport)
