VERDICT POSTPONED
Milan held to a draw, Roma successful. Hopes were that it could be celebration time, the Sunday of the mathematical certainty. It was not like this, but the verdict of this round is more than positive for the Rossoneri who remain top of the table on 76 points, with Roma trailing six points behind. No need to make a drama out of it or regret a draw which can be somehow accepted. Udinese deserved it on the pitch, having a great performance thanks to a tiresome pressing more than spectacular moves. It is not easy to face such stubborn opponents for any team, especially at this point of the season, when freshness and sparkle are on the wane, it is quite normal. Luciano Spalletti has managed to stop Milan twice this season: in the first game he clinched a victory, this time it was a draw. But the scenery is completely different: that Milan side had just been defeated at the hands of Boca Juniors in the Intercontinental Cup in Yokohama; this Milan side, instead, are fighting for the title, holding a clear lead from the challengers. To win the title is not easy, it has never been and will never be. To make a final success even more exciting and tasty there is the value of the opponents. So Milan must now focus on the big clash against Roma next week which turns out to be the most important of the season. A one-to-one challenge between title-competitors and rivals by tradition: at stake there is a dream called the 'Scudetto' but perhaps even something more.
