Napoli’s draw in Cagliari confirmed the weekend’s trend: only Fiorentina overtook the three points
The Naples is no exception and confirms the strange trend of the 26th day Serie A: none of the top 6 teams in the standings managed to win. Slowly forward, all together. Spalletti drew in Cagliari, like the you in the derby, the Milan in Salerno and the Lazio in Udine while theInter lost to Sassuolo andAtalanta with Fiorentina, the seventh in the standings and the only one, in that area of the standings, to snatch in three points.

And so in the end, between missed overtaking and missed hookups, despite a draw on the field of the last in the standings, the day smiles at Milan that a record is held tight, but still conditioned by the game in less that Inter must recover with Bologna. The Rossoneri on Saturday evening failed to extend the stretch against Salernitana but their pursuers did the same, or worse. However, Pioli’s team was the only one not to have the European commitment, which seemed to weigh above all on Inter and Napoli.
I Nerazzurri against Sassuolo they offered one of the worst games of the Inzaghi management and extended a series of draws and defeats that some alarm bells made him sound. Napoli took a big risk in Cagliari and, as admitted by Spalletti, he can rejoice in a draw that is very close to the hosts for express play and opportunities created.
The Scudetto fight becomes so compelling as it hasn’t been seen for years: three teams in two places, the unknown factor of the cups (including the Italian Cup which will see the Milanese compete in two fiery derbies) and the certainty that there is no team capable of escaping and killing the championship. The direct clash of 6 March between Naples and Milan it will be a crucial moment. Crucial is certainly this phase of the season, where the numerous commitments are felt for everyone and the points, even on the fields of the lowest in the standings, become complicated to fetch, just as Pioli and Spalletti have learned.
After all Juventus can smile after this crazy day too, who despite the draw against Turin has strengthened his fourth place thanks to the defeat of Atalanta who remains at -3 from Allegri’s band. To these results must also be added the draws of Roma (eighth in the standings) with Verona (ninth) and that, as mentioned, of Toro (tenth) against Juve.
