Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti does not believe his side are in a two-horse race with rivals AC Milan for the Serie A title. Milan are two points clear of second-placed Inter at the summit but Napoli are just one point further back in third place and look to be serious Scudetto candidates.
Asked about the battle for the trophy, Moratti told Inter's official website: "I wouldn't say that Milan and Inter are the only two teams left in the Scudetto race. We are closing in but I get the impression that Napoli are playing well.
"This year it's a great championship and great fun because there are three teams in the running. Milan looked like they had opened up a gap but now Napoli are very close too."
The Milan sides meet in the first round of league matches after the international break on 2 April in what could be a decisive fixture, but Moratti believes it is too early to begin talking about the derby.
He said: "The derby is a match in itself. There's no point thinking about it now though. The important thing is how the players react when they take to the pitch and their state of mind."
