still have a game against

Hellas Verona

on Sunday evening, and they need to win to keep their two-point advantage.

"It's now superstition and waiting for Milan to make a mistake," Moratti told L'Interista. "Of course, I still believe in the Scudetto, as I have since the beginning." We've obviously demonstrated that we have the character to accomplish it and compete for the crown."

With Giovanni Simeone in charge, the reality that Milan must play Verona at the Stadio Bentegodi has not gone unnoticed. On May 5, 2002, Giovanni's father, Diego Simeone, was on target as Lazio defeated Inter 4-2 and delivered the Scudetto to Juventus.

"It could be the perfect solution to complete the circle and rekindle our connection with Cholo!" Moratti exclaimed. "I'm hoping it turns out that way!" I'm kidding; we'll always be friends with Simeone, even though some things are difficult to forget after all these years."
