Juventus claw their way into the top four for the first time this year.
Last weekend in Serie A told AC Milan announced to they world that they are still very much in the title race. Serie A leaders Inter Milan missed opportunity to put an end to the Rossoneri's Scudetto dreams when in an exciting Derby della Madonnina, Stefano Pioli's side came away with a statement victory. Elsewhere, Juventus won thanks to the team's new duo of Dusan Vlahovic and Denis Zakaria. It was a result that majorly increased their chances of returning to the Champions League for the next season. Meanwhile, Atalanta lost at home against Cagliari. And now, onto the rankings.
Inter Milan's loss totally changes the contours of the second of the Serie A season. Simone Inzaghi was hoping to all but end the title race as make Inter the prohibitive favorites to win second Scudetto in a row. Now the situation is totally different, and even if Inter Milan remain the favorites, their one point lead is deceptive since they also have a game in hand compared to Napoli and AC Milan who sit a point back. Saturday's match against Napoli looms large now as it will tell us if their last match was just a little hiccup on the way to the title or if it was the beginning of a deeper crisis for this team.
