THE BIGGER PICTURE
After reaching their second Champions League final in three years, Inter now return to domestic duties as they aim to catch up with league leaders Napoli. Inzaghi's men were leading in the Scudetto race until Matchday 32, but two consecutive 1-0 losses to Bologna and Roma allowed Antonio Conte's Napoli to leapfrog them to the top of the table. With the Naples outfit having, on paper, an easier run of games, Inter have a tough task on their hands to claim Serie A title glory.
WHAT INZAGHI SAID
Inzaghi, after their historic win against Barcelona, said: "We’ve never prioritised one over the other. It’s nonsense to say we’re choosing one competition. We’ve given everything."
