The Beneamata are currently eight points behind third-placed Milan, but Corriere dello Sport points out that’s not an insurmountable gap.
While the Scudetto is almost certainly out of the question with Juventus 13 points ahead, the Rossoneri and Roma are respectively eight and nine points away.
The Giallorossi trailed Inter at the start of last season, but reeled them in and eventually finished 13 points ahead.
In Pioli’s first season on the Lazio bench, his side were eight points behind Napoli in Week 22, but eventually finished five points ahead.
Perhaps the most pertinent example is Max Allegri’s Milan side of 2012-13.
The Rossoneri were one 14 points after 12 rounds, three less than Inter have today. By the end of the season, the Diavolo had amassed 72 points to finish third.
