Allegri: Inter is the favorite to win the title, and we are close to achieving our goal
AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri appeared in a press conference following the 1-0 victory over Inter in the highlight match of the 28th round of the Italian league, held at San Siro Stadium.
Milan had achieved an important victory in the Milan Derby, which allowed them to repeat the feat of winning both derby matches in a single season for the first time since the 2010-2011 season, a season during which Allegri himself was the team's coach. When asked about the end of that season, the coach smiled and said, "It ended with winning the league title."
He added: "Inter is leading by seven points, which is a significant margin. They are still the strongest team and the clear favorite to win the Scudetto. We could have been better and sharper in the attacking third in some situations. We can only be happy because we maintained a ten-point gap with Juventus and a nine-point gap with Como and Roma, so it was important to achieve today's result."
Allegri emphasized that AC Milan's primary goal remains qualifying for the Champions League. He said, "We worked for seven months to reach March in the best possible condition, because this is the period when the most important matches of the season are played and everything is decided."

Regarding the match goal: "Luis Henrique is a very good player, but we prepared for this situation in training." He added: "Before the goal, there was a cross from Adrien Rabiot, and Estupiñán could have reached it if he had read it faster. Fofana made a great pass and also created two important chances in the Cremonese match that we couldn't convert. The team is improving."
He continued: "We know we haven't achieved anything yet, so we must remain humble. We should be happy with the win, but the most important thing is that it raised our tally to 60 points, bringing us closer to achieving our goal (qualifying for the Champions League)."
He continued: "We expended a lot of energy in the first half, then Inter raised their tempo and we allowed them some crosses when we retreated back. But except for Federico Dimarco's chance on the counterattack, I don't recall many real opportunities for Inter. We also had some chances and could have gone 2-0 up before the break."
He concluded: "I must reiterate that Inter remains the clear favorite to win the Scudetto, but this victory gives us a significant morale boost."
