Speaking in an interview with Sport Mediaset show Tiki Taka, Claudio Marchisio has sang the praises of Inter who have kept up the pace with Juventus this season.

“Antonio Conte’s energy can be seen in his players out on the pitch. It must be said that whilst there is still a long way to go this season, it seems to me to be a two horse race now for the title. Inter are finding their soul and have great balance,” he said.

A point currently separates Inter in second from league leaders Juventus after 13 games played. Inter have picked up a club record 34 points from the 39 available to them whilst Juventus have 35 to their name.

The two sides have already met once this season with Juventus running out 2-1 victors when they met back in October. The second meeting between the clubs does not come until March, a match which could well prove decisive in the title race if both clubs keep performing as they have been.
