Our Inter Milan Fan Site had the highlights of Inter President Massimo Moratti’s speech at a seminar today for sports journalists entitled “Il calcio e chi lo racconta” (“Football and those who report it”). In his remarks Moratti once again touched on Calciopoli and the impact it had on Inter.
Reggina
AC Milan extended their lead to six points in Serie A despite a 4-4 home draw with Udinese, though SSC Napoli will be hoping to close in on the Rossoneri when they host Juventus later.
Fans at San Siro were treated to an eight-goal thriller as Milan came from behind three times to force a 4-4 draw. Pato cancelled out Antonio Di Natale’s 35th-minute opener on the stroke of half-time only for Alexis Sánchez (53) and Di Natale (66) to put the visitors 3-1 up, but the hosts rallied through a Medhi Benatia own goal (78) and a second Pato strike (82). Germán Denis (89) then grabbed what looked to be the winner with a minute remaining, yet the league leaders salvaged a point via Zlatan Ibrahimović in added time.

History:
Reggina has traditionally been an unsuccessful Italian side and never even reached Serie A until 1999. After going back down to Serie B, they managed to fight their way back to the top flight only to become embroiled in the ugly 2006 match-fixing scandal. Despite the fact they were penalized several points, they managed to stay in Serie A.
