It came down to the final day. Roma went into the final match 2 points back of Inter, so in order to win the scudetto, Roma would need to beat Chievo while Inter would need to lose or draw against already-relegated Siena. I knew it was foolish to even hope, but when it was halftime and the scores stood 2-0 for Roma and 0-0 in Siena, I let myself hope.But, of course, Inter was too good to be stopped, and they got their goal and their win. Inter has now won 5 straight Italian championships. They've won two trophies so far this season, with the Coppa Italia win over Roma last week, and they still have the Champion's League final next Saturday against Bayern Munchen with a chance to win an unprecedented triple. They make me sick.
Roma had a fantastic season. As I've said before, it started off slowly, with 2 straight losses, and then 3 losses in the next 8 matches. From that point on, for the remaining 28 matches, Roma only lost 1 match: 3 weeks ago against Sampdoria. That loss cost them the title, as they went into it with a 1 point lead over Inter. Second again.
