Juventus, who lost ground on Sunday to Inter Milan, the leader, and Milan, their runner-up, no longer have the right to misstep to stay in the scudetto race, and it starts on Tuesday against La Spezia when of the 25th day.

With their many absent at the moment (Chiellini, Bonucci, Dybala, Cuadrado, Arthur), the Bianconeri (3rd) are struggling to chain matches and they left some feathers in Verona (1-1) on Saturday.

By winning on Sunday, Inter Milan took the opportunity to increase their lead over Juve to ten points and AC Milan to six.

Atalanta Bergamo, it came back to the height of the Turinese, who however have a game late.

So many incentives to start again for the non-reigning Italian champions, at home against La Spezia, a poorly classified promoted (15th) who still gave the lesson to Milan (2-0) there little.

Cristiano Ronaldo - 766 goals in official matches since Saturday - needs only one goal to join the total (unofficial and subject to debate) of "King" Pelé.

Knowing that the Brazilian himself claims more than 1,200 by counting all his matches.

The other advanced match scheduled for Tuesday between Lazio and Torino, in Rome, could be postponed due to grouped cases of coronavirus in the Turin club, where training has been suspended by health authorities since last Tuesday.

Torino's meeting scheduled for Friday against Sassuolo has already been postponed for this reason.

On Wednesday, AC Milan will host Udinese (12th).

A match that falls in the middle of the musical week of its star Zlatan Ibrahimovic, guest star from Tuesday of the San Remo song festival, the Italians' annual cathodic high mass.

The arrangement called for "Ibra" to return to Milan for this match before returning to the seaside resort of Liguria until Sunday morning.

But the Swede still has to be able to play: he had to leave the field early Sunday night against Roma (2-1) due to muscle fatigue and is very uncertain.

Inter Milan, whose serenity on the ground contrasts with the concern surrounding the projects and the financial strength of its Chinese owner (Suning), will move Thursday to the relegation Parma (19th) at the end of this day.
