I'm Gab, he's Jules. Gray skies over West London, but I'll tell you where they're not gray. Over the red and black half of Milan. Because, of course, they win the Derby della Madonnina under the watchful eye of the golden statue that protects us all. We're going to be talking about that, but there's so much else going on. Barcelona winning, staying four points clear. We may have to delve into Ligue 1 where things aren't looking... It's the tightest title race in Europe. It's tough. It's tough. Never believed I would say that. And of course, there's the magic of the FA Cup. Au revoir to Fulham. We never knew you. Why did you even try? Maybe I'm being harsh. Anyway, Jules, let's start at San Siro. Essentially, Inter had a chance.
I'm going to make it tennis terms. This was match point for Inter. Because if they win this game, they go 13 points clear. And under the Marcotti rule, if there's no head-to-heads and you're 13 points clear with, what is it, 10 games left to go? Nine games left to go, I think, even. 10. Is it 10? Yeah, 10. You ain't coming back.
What was the outcome of the AC Milan vs. Inter Milan match?
No. Instead, it went the other way. Purvis is stupid, man. Coming up big. Seven points, obvious question, as they say in Spain. High Liga? Yeah, I think so, because seven is still significant. And if you look at the schedule and the 10 games left for both Milan and Inter, I mean, both play Lazio and Atalanta, for example. But then you've got Napoli for Milan, you've got Como and Roma for Inter. So it's probably... I don't think there's much into it if you look into schedule. But Inter are not playing well. We saw that against Bodoglin. We saw that again last night. It was not a good performance. Lautaro is still not back. There was no Thuram who was ill. And without them too. And Charles Noglu. And Charles Noglu who the camera keeps panning out on the bench looking like more and more deflated.
So it's more the form that Inter, I think, is worrying more than the seven points. So, yeah, of course, there is a title race. It's still not very tight. But because Inter are not in good form, I think there's something to hope for for Milan. Yeah, I still think the title is very much interest to lose. I'll go as high as 80, 85% at this stage. And I take your point about Lautaro and Turam. I completely agree. It's not that Boni and Pio Esposito aren't good. I think both have a lot of quality, but... They haven't played together that often. And without, I don't know, routine them up. We've talked about this before. It's not quite the same thing. You really pay price for it. And as for the run-in, especially in Serie A, I think the difference, it's not, when you look at a tough run-in, it's not just kind of like the other big teams that are competing for things.
For me, a big part of it is the teams who are fighting to avoid relegation. Yeah, sure.
Why is Christian Chivu's coaching style being questioned?
Because we see teams that go and pack it in. We know Como, for example, who, of course, are fighting for top four. They're not going to pack it in. That, I think, is what can make the difference. That said, when we boil this down, Are Milan any good? In the sense that it comes down to Purvis is stupid and scores his goal. Good work from Fofana to set him up. And before that, even Leal's touch. He didn't do much in the game. But that was good. But Inter had, you could argue, two bigger chances with Mkhitaryan and Di Marco. And they both miss them. I mean, is it six of one, one half dozen of another? Yeah, I mean, we've watched Allegri all season. We've watched this Milan team all season with talent, sure, but everywhere.
And still a midfield of Modric, Rabiot and Fofana.
