Inter Milan missed a golden opportunity to claim the Serie A top spot after falling to a 1-0 defeat against Juventus in Turin.
With Napoli held to a 2-2 draw at Lazio, a win would have put Simone Inzaghi’s side at the summit for the first time since September. However, Francisco Conceicao’s 74th-minute strike secured victory for Juventus, leaving Inter two points behind the reigning champions.
Juventus climbed back into the top four on goal difference, while Atalanta remain third after a goalless draw with Cagliari.
Despite Inter’s late pressure, a stunning save from Michele di Gregorio denied Marcus Thuram, while Denzel Dumfries produced a crucial goal-line clearance to keep them in the game. The defeat marks Inter’s second loss in three matches, raising concerns over their title challenge.
Meanwhile, Juventus extended their unbeaten league run to three games and will now shift focus to their Champions League tie against PSV Eindhoven, holding a 2-1 lead from the first leg.
