Alessandro Nesta believes Inter Milan are better equipped than AC Milan to cope with the pressure of a Serie A title race.
Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport ahead of Juventus vs Milan, the former Rossoneri defender reflected on the Scudetto battle and the balance of power in Italy.
“The team is built to compete for anything,” Nesta said of Milan.
“But I’d advise not to raise expectations too high. I don’t see them ready to carry the weight of having to win the Scudetto – though that doesn’t mean they can’t do it.”

After their resounding 4-1 win against Cremonese on Saturday night, Inter temporarily moved level on points at the top of the table.
The Nerazzurri have scored 17 goals this season, more than any other team.

However, Ange-Yoan Bonny stepped in and put in a stellar performance, with three assists and a goal.
