Inter Milan, despite recent defeats in Europe, is nearing the Serie A title and has reached the Italian Cup final under coach Cristian Chivu. The team can clinch the league title if they win their upcoming matches and AC Milan does not.
ROME (AP) â Best known in Europe for memorable defeats in recent seasons, Inter Milan remains a force at home in Italy. In Cristian Chivuâs first season coaching the club, Inter is closing in on the Serie A title and could still raise two trophies after also reaching the Italian Cup final. If Inter wins at Torino and Napoli and AC Milan donât win this weekend, Inter can clinch the Italian league title with four rounds remaining. The domestic success has come in sharp contrast to Interâs ouster from this seasonâs Champions League by tiny Norwegian club BodĂž/Glimt; and a 5-0 rout by Paris Saint-Germain in last seasonâs final. Not since JosĂ© Mourinho led Inter to a treble in 2010 has Inter won the league and Cup in the same season. Chivu played on the 2010 team and is quickly making a name for himself in the coaching ranks after helping Parma avoid relegation last season. âIâm just Cristian. My only responsibility is to these players,â Chivu said when asked about being compared to Mourinho. âIâm just trying to do my job in the best manner possible for those who believed in me, for these wonderful players, and I hope to achieve some of our objectives.â Chivu was asked about the possibility of winning both trophies after Inter came back from two goals down to beat Como 3-2 in the Italian Cup semifinals on Tuesday. Inter will face Lazio in the May 13 final.

After this meeting, Pulisic and McKennie wonât see each other again until they unite for national team training camp at a home World Cup.
