Unstoppable Inter march toward Scudetto, as Cremonese pose no threat

Thanks to a 2-0 win behind Lautaro and Zielinski's goals, the Nerazzurri now have an eight-point advantage over the second-placed AC Milan

Throughout the season, the Italian Serie A has been one of the most exciting leagues, but lately, all the unpredictability has disappeared thanks to one team - Inter Milan.

While their main rivals in the title race, AC Milan, Napoli, Roma, and Juventus, are stumbling, Cristian Chivu's men are marching toward the Scudetto, killing all the other teams' hope of a miracle.

Today, the Nerazzurri easily brushed aside Cremonese on the road 2-0, increasing the advantage over their city rivals to eight points, though the Rossoneri have yet to play their duel of the 23rd round against Bologna on Tuesday (22.45).

In Cremona, Inter sealed the deal before the break, as Lautaro Martinez and Piotr Zielinski netted in the 16th minute and a quarter of an hour later, respectively, and paved the way for their team's fourth straight Serie A triumph.

After the break, the visitors anaesthetized Cremonese's attacks, as Davide Nicola's men wasted their only notable chance in the 85th minute when Alessio Zerbin hit the post.

Chivu cleverly kept his lineup fresh, subbing on Matteo Darmian, Marcus Thuram, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, and others, as Inter cruised toward another peaceful finish and new three points.
