Inter Milan were crowned Serie A champions on Sunday because they won 2-1 at Siena and nearest rivals Roma lost 2-1 at Atalanta.
Celtic won the Scottish Premier League title on Sunday when they defeated Kilmarnock.That game too had a score of 2 -1
Chelsea however did not score 2 -1 against Newcastle.They had a chance to close the gap all they managed was a goalless draw. The three point difference between them and Man U therefore remains unchanged.
Mourinho’s philosophical reaction “It was a chance missed to close the gap – but at the same time we had an away game and Man United had a home game and at the end of it the gap between us is the same.”
