Former Roma and Nerazzurri midfielder Radja Nainggolan feels that there would be no chance of AC Milan catching Inter Milan in Serie A.
The Belgian spoke to Vox to Box, via FCInter1908.
Inter have not yet put the seal on the Serie A table for this season.
But the feeling is certainly that it is a matter of “when” rather than “if” the Nerazzurri clinch it.
With nine matches to go, and 27 points on offer, Inter currently have a fourteen-point buffer at the top of the Serie A table.
It is city rivals AC Milan who are the closest team to making contact with Inter.
Juventus had been the Nerazzurri’s main rivals for months. However, a sharp decline in form from the Bianconeri has turned the title race – if it can be called that – into a Milan derby of sorts.
And in fact, the derby between Inter and Milan next month could be decisive.
Depending on how the next three weekends go, Inter could very well clinch the title with a result against their great rivals the Rossoneri.
Radja Nainggolan: No Chance AC Milan Catch Inter In Serie A
Nainggolan gave his thoughts on the remaining matches of the season.
“There are nine matches left to go,” the Belgian said.
“That means that Milan would have to win five more matches than Inter,” he noted.
“Is there a chance of Inter losing five matches? Never. Even if Milan were to win all their remaining matches, for me it would not be enough.”
“Inter have lost just one match all season,” Nainggolan observed.
“And then are they going to lose five to miss out on the Scudetto? Come on.”
The former Inter midfielder argued that “In my opinion, Milan are already doing very well if they secure top four.”
“Then Atalanta and Roma are in good form. And Juve are always up there.”
