Balotelli's Verdict
According to the former Inter Milan forward, Balotelli, Inter's position as strong contenders for the league title seems unassailable. Reflecting on his own experiences, he stated, "I won a Premier League at the last second, so you have to play until the end because anything is possible. But I think it's hard for Inter to lose this Scudetto."
Balotelli, known for his candid views, ranks Lautaro Martinez above Osimhen and Leao in terms of strength, stating, "I say Lautaro in front of Osimhen and Leao," according to Tutto Napoli.

Goal-Scoring Battle
Osimhen, the Nigerian forward, outshone Martinez as the top scorer last season but faces a challenge this year as Martinez leads the scoring charts with 23 league goals, significantly ahead of Osimhen's tally of 11 goals.
With Inter's title charge gaining momentum, Martinez's goal-scoring prowess has been a crucial factor in their success.

Assist Master Leao
While Leao may not match Martinez and Osimhen's goal-scoring feats, he leads the league in assists, showcasing a different dimension of his playmaking abilities.
Despite his lower goal tally, Leao's impact in creating scoring opportunities for his teammates cannot be understated, making him a vital cog in AC Milan's attack.
