Serie A giants Napoli lost further ground in the title race as a result of their frustrating 1-1 draw against Parma. Despite that, manager Antonio Conte hasnโt lost hope of a potential title win.
Inter take on Como later in the day. A win can take them nine clear at the top, leaving the Partenopei leaving their result today.
They conceded in the very first minute, as Gabriel Strefezza found the back of the net. Scott McTominay drew level in the second half but Napoli could never really find a crucial winner.
After the tie, Conte spoke to DAZN and suggested that the Scudetto dream isnโt done yet.
He said โ via CalcioNapoli24: โThe dream isnโt over, there are six games left. Inter still have to play. It was a dream tied to the team ahead of us. Looking at Interโs numbers so far, it was certainly a bold dream to pursue. Weโre continuing to do what weโre doing. Weโre coming off five wins.โ
The Italian also indicated that Napolils real goal was qualifiying for the Champions League and they are on track for that.
โItโs disappointing today; we could have gotten two more points for the Champions League, but weโre one point closer. We have to give our all until the end, it is what weโre doing. Aside from the approach, which was a punch that could have knocked us out, I have little to reproach. We know what this championship has been, weโre proud, and we must continue on this path.โ
The end to the season isnโt easy for the Naples side. They are yet to play Como, with a tie against Bologna also coming up. Their next game will see them take on Lazio, which will be another test.
