Milan out to prove they’re still the best

APART from the weather (wet), this week’s favourite conversational gambit in Italy is: How good are Milan? Or, alternatively: How good are Inter? It all depends on who you support.

In the league, Inter are set to fall just short of the mythical 100-point mark, Roma have now claimed second place, 18 points behind, and the rest really might as well be in a different division in terms of results.

Milan, now more or less assured of fourth spot, are fully 30 points adrift of their great rivals, and for all their recovery in the second half of the season they have made no impact whatsoever on the title-race (for ‘race’ read ‘leisurely stroll’).
