Lautaro Martínez was not inspired. This Tuesday, after announcing over the weekend that they will be parents again with his wife Agustina Gandolfo, the world champion forward could not help Inter, who drew 0-0 away against Sampdoria (19th), result which left him 15 points behind leaders Napoli, which is walking straight towards the third championship in its history.
In addition, the other pursuers are Atalanta, Roma and Milan, who are three units behind the neroazzurri in the fight for qualification for the next Champions League.
Inter-without Joaquin Correa– dominated the match, but was faced with an immense match by Emil Audero, with five hotkeys to keep Sampdoria’s goal to zero, including a discounted one (90+2) with Francesco Acerbi’s left foot from 25 meters which the goalkeeper deflects just enough to crash the ball into the woodwork.
The scenario seems to repeat itself for Inter compared to last season, when in the second part of the season they failed to keep up with the then leaders Milan, who ended up winning the ‘scudetto’.
Napoli, who also proved intractable this day by beating Cremonese 3-0, seem closer than ever to their third championship, the first after the two won by the team led by Diego Maradona in 1987 and 1990.
Over the past decade, the Southern Italian team has finished as runners-up four times (2013, 2016, 2018 and 2019), but have never managed to lift the trophy so far.
