Inter classed as being ‘unplayable’

– Simone Inzaghi (right) could barely contain his glee on Wednesday night as his Inter Milan put four goals past Atalanta and took another step towards a 20th Serie A title.

Usually happy to trot out the usual post-match cliches with a stern expression, Inzaghi had to try his very hardest not to let a huge grin spread across his face as TV pundits on DAZN praised a team they classed as “unplayable” for the rest of Italy’s top-flight.

Wednesday’s emphatic 4-0 win at the San Siro moved Inter 12 points clear of closest rivals Juventus, who are now trailing in the distance after leading the pack little over a month ago.

On Monday night Inter face Genoa on a run of 11 straight wins in all competitions since the turn of the year, their last four in the league coming with four goals.

Inzaghi is closing in on the first league title of his managerial career after narrowly losing last season’s Champions League final to Manchester City.

“The team is playing really well but I’ve been enjoying watching them for two-and-a-half years because we’ve won five trophies and got to a Champions League final” said Inzaghi.

“I have a team which sticks to its principles regardless of who plays. That had to be the most satisfying thing...whoever comes on it’s a pleasure to watch them play. Sometimes I find it hard to pick the team.”

Inter have the league’s top scorer in Lautaro Martinez and have scored 67 times – more than any team in Europe’s top five leagues.

Fans spent the last few minutes of Wednesday’s match belting out “Ole” to their team’s every touch as Inter netted four goals without reply for the third straight league match.

Wednesday’s clean sheet was their 23rd of the campaign in all competitions, highlighting their dominance of a division in which last season they lost 12 times.

“The final in Istanbul has stayed with us,” he added. –
