Inter Milan went on a five-game winning streak in the league, rising to third place and defeating Juventus 2-1 on aggregate in the semifinals of the Coppa Italia. AC Milan had too many draws with 3 wins and 4 draws while running undefeated in 7 league games, and following a 0-2 loss in the first leg of the last semifinals, the league undefeated was broken by losing to Spezia in the 35th round of Serie A.
