AC Milan maintain title charge at Cagliari as Inter lose more ground
AC Milan kept hold of their three-point lead at the top of Serie A on Saturday with a 1-0 win at Cagliari, while Inter Milan fell further behind their local rivals after being held 1-1 by Fiorentina. Ismael Bennacer struck the only goal in the 59th minute of a hard-fought match in Sardinia to keep Napoli at arm's length after they briefly drew level on points thanks to Victor Osimhen's double in a 2-1 win over Udinese. A third win on the bounce for Stefano Pioli's side stretched their unbeaten league run to eight games and increased hopes of a first Scudetto since 2011, but it was a match marred by racist abuse directed at Mike Maignan and Fikayo Tomori from a section of home fans at the final whistle which sparked a on-pitch shoving match. "Maignan said to me 'It's not possible that we're hearing these sorts of insults'," Pioli told DAZN. "It's the first time that he's reacted and that means something bad happened that shouldn't have happened. Tomori said the same thing."

Giroud sustituye a Benzema
Como era de esperar, Karim Benzema no jugará los dos compromisos internacionales de la selección francesa (25 de marzo ante Sudáfrica y el 29 contra Costa de Marfil). El delantero del Real Madrid sufrió una lesión en el gemelo izquierdo que le impedirá disputar el Clásico de este domingo y tampoco podrá estar en los dos amistosos que afrontarán los de Deschamps a finales de mes.
