Inter draw to take Serie A race to the wire
Inter's lead cut to a point
Inter Milan again wasted the chance to retain their Serie A title when they were held 2-2 at home by Siena on Sunday with Marco Materazzi having a penalty saved. Second-placed AS Roma beat Atalanta 2-1 to cut the gap to one point with one round of matches remaining next weekend.
Has Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini thrown the title away?
Inter, who lost to AC Milan last Sunday to spurn their first opportunity of sealing the scudetto, visit relegation-threatened Parma and Roma go to Catania, who could also go down. 'At 2-2 there was no longer any logic on the field, I was angry about this. We were piling forward too much,' Inter coach Roberto Mancini told Sky, relieved his side had not lost. 'We have the quality to win at Parma, Roma have to go to Catania and it won't be simple.'
Napoli dealt a crushing blow to AC Milan's hopes of Champions League qualification after goals from Marek Hamsik, Maurizio Domizzi and Gyorgy Garics earned victory on Sunday. Carlo Ancelotti's side are now two points adrift of fourth place with just one game of the season remaining after Fiorentina leapfrogged them in the Serie A table by beating Parma.
Struggling Parma looked like they might do Milan a favour when they took an early lead against the Viola, but they conceded twice in the final 13 minutes on the way to a 3-1 defeat.

inter 2-0. Inter very strong. 3 times champions in a row.
Would be 4th time champions in a row if you count the 04/05 season where there is no winners and ac and juventus are said to have cheated.
