Diego Simeone has decided who he is backing in the Serie A title race this season out of Inter, Milan, Napoli and Juventus.
The Italian topflight has the most exciting title race in Europe this season, with the top four teams separated by only seven points with nine games remaining. There is only three points between Milan, Napoli and Inter, three teams who all are incredibly hungry for the Scudetto.
Speaking to Sky ahead of Atletico Madrid’s Champions League clash against Manchester United, Simeone first discussed if Joao Felix and Cristiano Ronaldo have anything in common.
“It wouldn’t be good to compare him to Ronaldo, he is growing and I hope he will have a great match tomorrow.”
The Argentinian coach then revealed which team he’s backing in the Serie A title race this season.
“There’s a good challenge for the Scudetto, Juve won’t give up and there’s also Inter, Milan and Napoli, but it would be great to see another title for Inter.”
Simeone spent six years of his playing career in Italy, spending two years with Inter before a four-year spell in Rome with Lazio. He won a Scudetto, a Coppa Italia, a Supercoppa Italiana, a UEFA Super Cup and the UEFA Cup during his time in the Italian peninsula.
