Ten days to decide the fate of a championship that has never been so balanced: the race for the title is getting tight, with three teams within three points and a finale that promises to be incandescent.
The last to forcefully relaunch its candidacy was Atalanta, who with a peremptory 4-0 inflicted on Juventus in Turin definitively took off the mask, moving from the shadows to the absolute protagonist of the fight for the Scudetto. The Goddess has fully entered the duel between Inter and Napoli, who in recent weeks have alternated at the top of the table, giving life to a real 'triello' that will experience a key moment already in the next round, the last before the break.
On Sunday evening in Bergamo, Gian Piero Gasperini's team will host Inter, the current league leaders, in a match that could change the fate of the championship. It will be the last direct clash between the three title contenders, while Napoli will follow the challenge at the Gewiss Stadium with interest in the hope of gaining points on at least one of their rivals. First, however, Antonio Conte's men will have to overcome the obstacle of Venezia, a team fighting for survival and already capable of stopping several big teams this season. Atalanta knows this well, having been held to a 0-0 draw by the Venetians ten days ago.
Napoli, meanwhile, has regained morale and conviction after the draw with Inter at the 'Maradona', a challenge that has given new certainties to the Neapolitan team. And with the imminent recovery of Anguissa and David Neres, Conte will be able to count on two key players for the final rush. A finale that, at least on paper, smiles on the Azzurri, favored by a less difficult schedule than that of Inter and Atalanta. On Sunday, against Fiorentina, Napoli scored a victory that had been missing since January 25, when they beat Juventus 2-1. Now the 'Maradona' is ready to be the twelfth man on the field in the race for the title.
Even Antonio Conte is no longer hiding: "In the great emergency we are still there and this shows the seriousness of these guys. We want to bother until the end", he declared after the latest success. A concept similar to the one expressed by Gasperini after the resounding victory against Juventus: “We know that Inter and Napoli are very strong and never lose, but if you believe strongly in something, sometimes the impossible becomes possible”.
