Inter turn attention to Scudetto defence after Champions League progression

The games are coming thick and fast for Serie A leaders Inter after reaching the Champions League semi-finals in midweek.

The Nerazzurri now face a tricky away test at fifth-placed Bologna on Sunday as they continue their Serie A title defence and treble hunt.

A 2-2 draw at home to Bayern Munich was enough to advance to meet Barcelona and with a Coppa Italia semi-final second leg coming up next week against rivals Milan, Simone Inzaghi must ensure his side are not distracted from the Scudetto race.

“Now we have the championship, with Napoli fighting with us for the Scudetto and the challenge in Bologna which will be very tough, we have to win there too,” Inter defender Benjamin Pavard told Amazon Prime after scoring against Bayern.

A seven-game unbeaten league run has seen Inzaghi’s Inter take over at the top but they have yet to shake off pretenders to their throne Napoli, and just three points separate the sides heading into the final six matches.

Bologna drew 2-2 at the San Siro when they met Inter in January and, despite their 2-0 loss to Atalanta last weekend, Vincenzo Italiano’s men are still challenging for a return to Champions League football next season.
