Inter Milan has triumphantly ascended back to the Serie A pinnacle, outclassing Udinese in a straightforward victory.
Following Juventus’ win over Napoli, which temporarily displaced Inter, the Milan giants reasserted their dominance, marking their 12th victory in 15 league matches this season.
The scoring spree was ignited by Hakan Calhanoglu, followed by strikes from Federico Dimarco and Marcus Thuram in the first half. Lautaro Martinez later sealed the deal with his 14th league goal this season.
Inter now stands two points ahead of Juventus and has a comfortable nine-point lead over AC Milan, who faced a recent defeat against Atalanta.
The match was a showcase of Inter’s supremacy, highlighted by Martinez’s near miss and Udinese goalkeeper Marco Silvestri’s remarkable save off Dimarco. The game’s turning point came with a Martinez-drawn penalty, awarded after an extensive VAR review, which Calhanoglu converted with finesse.
Dimarco’s left-footed blast and Thuram’s close-range finish, crowning a 21-pass play, further solidified Inter’s command. Martinez’s emphatic late strike polished the victory.
In parallel Serie A drama, AC Milan’s championship aspirations took a hit with a dramatic last-minute loss to Atalanta. Despite twice equalizing through Olivier Giroud and Luka Jovic, Milan succumbed to Luis Muriel’s ingenious backheel in the 95th minute, following Davide Calabria’s ejection.
Milan’s fourth league defeat this season casts a shadow over their upcoming critical Champions League match against Newcastle.

so frustrating to see Milan lose like that to Atalanta, Muriel’s goal was a stunner tho, gotta admit..
That VAR decision for Inter’s penalty seemed to take forever, but got it right in the end. Consistency is key in these calls.
