This season, Inter and Lazio have become Juventus’ strongest competitors in the mission of defending the Scudetto. Inter currently sit in third place of the standings with 54 points while Lazio is in second position after reaching 56 points.

Gli Aquile successfully finished as runner-up after beating Inter last weekend. The victory has made Simone Inzaghi’s players now only have one point difference with Juventus who still control the top of the standings.

 “At the moment, Inter and Lazio are able to show extraordinary performances. They are the two clubs that I love very much, “Diego Simeone said as quoted on the Italian Football website.

In 2003, Simeone left Lazio to defend Atletico Madrid. Two years later, he decided to return to Argentina and play at the Racing Club before finally retiring in 2006.
