Inter, the team trained by Cristi Chivu, is the leader in Serie A, 13 points away from the reigning champion Napoli when there are 5 stages left to play.
Inter's 21st Scudetto is already on the horizon, after Napoli's home defeat against Lazio (0-2). The countdown has begun and the daily Gazzetta dello Sport announces that “from today, Milan city authorities will have to prepare their security plan for the Scudetto“.
Possible incidents next Sunday when Inter travel to Turin and Milan play Juve afterwards
Inter, 78 points after 33 stages, will play against Torino next Sunday, April 26, from 19:00 Romanian time. But if AC Milan, 63 points from 32 games, win today in Verona, Chivu and the players will not be able to celebrate the title on the pitch, even if Napoli (63p after 33 matches) fails on Friday against Cremonese. The reason? Milan also meets Juventus next Sunday, but the match is scheduled from 21:45, after Inter's.
There could be some public order problems overnight though, if Inter are mathematically crowned champions and Nerazzurri fans take to the streets to parade under the tricolor while Milan fans leave the 'San Siro' stadium.
The celebration of the title, on May 3, at the match with Parma that Cristi Chivu escaped from relegation last summer
Under the given conditions, the real celebration, even if it is not officially confirmed, will take place the following Sunday, May 3, from 21:45. Then, Inter will host Parma, the team saved by Cristi Chivu from relegation last season.
Gazzetta dello Sport: “It would be simpler and more direct that way, for a crowd that has already mobilized to participate in the match and that could thus explode with joy after the final whistle.”
