The match between Inter Milan and Napoli, as part of the twentieth round of the Italian Serie A, ended in a 2-2 draw at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium in an exciting encounter, during which both teams displayed strong and balanced performances. Christian Kivou, Inter Milan's coach, confirmed that the draw was a natural result given the teams' performances.

Kivou said: "I saw two strong teams that did everything to win this match. There is some regret because we took the lead twice but did not win, but Napoli deserves praise because they never gave up and kept fighting until the end to achieve the draw and even try to win."

He added: "I liked the players' attitude and determination to keep attacking, even if sometimes we overdid it and left ourselves exposed to passes to Højlund. We tried everything to create our style of play, knowing well that we were facing a strong opponent who could cause us problems."

He continued: "Napoli made it difficult for us in the first 20 minutes of the second half, but after that, we started holding the ball for longer periods, and that period was a prelude to the penalty kick. It's unfortunate, but these are two great teams that have raised the level of modern football and Serie A."

Regarding this season's league competition, Kivou said: "I think there are four or five teams competing for the title, and I don't even know the exact point difference, but Napoli, Milan, and we all have a postponed match. We all know this will be a battle until the end."

Kivou also explained the pressing mistakes during the match: "We knew Napoli would be aggressive, but we opened up a bit, and they played very well in the short spaces with McTominay and Lobotka to deliver the ball to Politano or Elmas on the flanks. Here, we made a pressing mistake, made some adjustments, and the match ended in a draw. I feel this was the correct result considering what we saw on the pitch."
