Inter's surreal day and Milan's sweet triumph

The year 2022 started perfectly for AC Milan. Although the Rossoneri were missing a good ten players (Corona, injuries and the Africa Cup), they brought Roma to their knees 3-1 at the San Siro. This means that Stefano Pioli's team is still in second place in the table and only one point behind city rivals Inter, who, however, have one less game in their account.

Roma coach Jose Mourinho once again caused a stir when he was booed by Milan fans during the game and then said: “When I see how the San Siro behaved today, I'm glad I said no to it three years ago Milan said. At that time the club wanted to sign me, I thought about it for three days, but then turned it down.” A typical Mourinho!

Inter, meanwhile, had a surreal day. The league leaders had already traveled by train to the away game in Bologna on Wednesday, but it was already clear then that the local health authorities had put the Emilians in quarantine. The reason is 8 corona cases in the ranks of the Mihajlovic troops. However, the game was not canceled. And that's why Inter presented themselves at the “Stadio Renato Dall'Ara” on Thursday afternoon. “Partitella” instead of Serie A game Instead of warming up, the Milanese had a training session, whereby the “partitella” between the regular team and the B-elf could not be missed. The Serie A match was supposed to have kicked off at 12.30 p.m., but Bologna clearly didn't show up at the venue, which is why the final whistle finally sounded after the obligatory 45-minute waiting period.

There was no winner in the top game in the evening between Juventus and Napoli. The guests from Campania took the lead with Dries Mertens after 23 minutes, but after the break Federico Chiesa equalized the score at 1-1, which remained the same until the end. So Juventus missed the chance to take a step towards the top 4. The Bianconeri are currently three points behind Atalanta, who occupy fourth place. However, the Bergamascos have played one less game.
