Overview
- Inter, which won on Friday at San Siro, beat Cagliari 3-0 through goals from Marcus Thuram, Nicolò Barella and Piotr Zielinski.
- The victory opened a provisional 12-point lead with five matches left, and Inter can clinch next weekend by beating Torino if Napoli and Milan drop points in their next games.
- Inter managed the result without injured starters Lautaro Martínez, Alessandro Bastoni and Yann Bisseck and rotated with a Coppa Italia semi-final second leg against Como set for Tuesday.
- Sassuolo’s 2-1 win over Como earlier in the day hurt Como’s push for a Champions League place and set a downbeat tone before their cup meeting with Inter.
- Cagliari stayed six points above the relegation zone, and coach Fabio Pisacane cautioned that safety is not yet secure.
