ROME (AP) — A derby win. A Serie A title. A second star. Inter Milan has an unprecedented chance to secure all three achievements at once with a win over AC Milan on Monday. And city bragging rights might mean more than anything. “It’s an incredible opportunity,” Inter midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan said. Entering with a 14-point advantage over second-place Milan, Inter can stretch its lead to an insurmountable 17 points with five rounds remaining. That would secure Inter’s 20th Italian league title and earn the Nerazzurri a second star on their shirts. A star is awarded for every 10 Serie A titles. Inter and Milan have each won the Italian league 19 times. Only Juventus, which has a record 36 titles and thus three stars, has won more. “We’re almost at the top of the mountain and we can’t wait to see the view. But we’re not quite there yet,” said Inter coach Simone Inzaghi, who is poised to win the league for the first time as a coach. “We still need some points and we want to get them as soon as possible.” |
