Ex AC Milan, Real Madrid & Juventus Manager: “Inter Milan Remain Super-Favorites For Scudetto”

Famous Italian manager Fabio Capello sees reigning Serie A champions Inter Milan as frontrunners to win the Scudetto this season.

In an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, as reported by FCInterNews, Capello identified the Nerazzurri as ‘super-favorites’ to lift the Scudetto.

While praising Inter for their dominant league start, the 78-year-old slammed Juventus’ performance against Roma.

“Compared to the first two outings, Juventus has taken a step back. It was not the one that dominated Verona and Como, opponents of a lower level than Roma.”

With Milan going through a rough spell under new boss Paulo Fonseca, Juventus are the only viable candidates to dethrone Inter.

However, Sunday’s game against out-of-form Roma cast significant doubt on the Turin giants’ title credentials.

On the other hand, Simone Inzaghi’s men have gone from strength to strength after the opening-day draw at Genoa.

Inter followed a routine 2-0 win against Empoli with an emphatic 4-0 home victory against Atalanta.

Saturday’s showing at Giuseppe Meazza unequivocally showed they’re still at least one level above everyone else.

Fabio Capello Sees Inter Milan as ‘Super-Favorites’ to Win the Scudetto

“The 4-0 win over Atalanta was an exceptional test of strength,” the ex-Milan, Juventus, and Roma manager said.

“The Nerazzurri have simply returned to the values we knew and appreciated last year. They were and remain the super-favorite for the Scudetto. 

Fabio Capello took stock of Nicolo Barella’s stunning strike against Atalanta, as well as his scintillating display in that match.

“We are talking about a team that wants to improve, and the manifesto of what I say remains Barella. 

“The Eurogoal scored against La Dea was exceptional, but I was struck once again by his desire to win, run, and fight until the last ball.

“The derby will be interesting.”

Inter will take on arch-rivals Milan in the latest iteration of the mouth-watering Derby della Madonnina on September 22.
