Reigning champ vs future champ and all we get is a dull draw

You’ve probably bumped a few times on those debates about whether English football is better than Italian/Spanish and a decent number of football pundits believe the former is overrated.If so, just show them, for instance, the FA Cup clash between Manchester United and Liverpool, and then the Serie A derby of the defending champion Napoli and the soon-to-be champion Inter. In the span of just a few hours, those two games provided us with nothing but completely opposite sensations.FA Cup Madness at Theatre of Dreams! Ivorian scores a 120th-minute winner against Liverpool in a seven-goal thrillerAnd while the FA Cup tie was as spectacular and unforgettable as it gets, the Italian way was so different, dull and barely worth a report.The Nerazzurri and the Partenopei shared spoils at the Guiseppe Meazza stadium after 90 minutes of football below par. A goal apiece, one in each half, doesn’t sound that bad, but whoever witnessed the match could see a pale performance of both sides unable to entertain the packed terraces and millions of viewers worldwide.##EDITORS_CHOICE##The fact they came off the Champions League eliminations to Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, respectively, probably affected Inter and Napoli and damaged their self-confidence massively.It left us with lacklustre performances and two goals that were the only cherries on that hard-to-swallow cake.The hosts went 1-0 up near the interval thanks to a praiseworthy team effort, which saw the ball moving from right-hand side to left before Darmian slotted it perfectly following Bastoni’s sharp cross.🖤💙 @inter#inter #forzainter #internapoli #seriea pic.twitter.com/IePYuyyjM8— Matteo Darmian (@DarmianOfficial) March 17, 2024 The visitors responded quite late, but not through Khvicha or Osimhen, as you would probably expect. Defender Juan Jesus buried a header after being left completely unmarked on the far post for a 1-1 draw.##NAJAVA_MECA_7958821##
