Here's a round-up of the big talking points from Serie A's matchday 22, with Hellas Verona and Udinese still left to play on Monday evening. 

Inter send a stark warning 

Don't anger the Inter beast, because you won't like the reaction you get from the Serie A leaders. 

The Nerazzurri came into the game off the back of a disappointing Champions League display against Arsenal, and when struggling Pisa went into a shocking 2-0 lead at San Siro inside the first twenty minutes, it looked like the wheels could be beginning to fall off.

No no. Inter roared back with ruthless efficiency. By half-time, they had turned the game around, going into the break 3-2 up and then took complete control for the second period. 

The game was almost like their season in a microcosm. The first half started badly, but they rose to the top, and then in the second period, they were pretty unstoppable. Does that mean we'll see the second half of the season resulting in Christian Chivu's men as champions? It's looking increasingly likely, yes. 

Juventus enter the fray? 

Sunday's mouth-watering double-header was billed as the last chance saloon for Juventus and Roma in terms of any title ambitions, and it was the Old Lady who stepped up to the plate and back into the conversation. 

The win over Napoli not only put them just one point behind the reigning champions, but it gave Luciano Spalletti the statement win his reign has been needing. Juve were by far the superior team, and finally showed off the clinicality that has been missing for most of the season. 

They are still some way off the leaders, but there are plenty of points to play for, especially the belief that victory will now give Juve and its players. 

For Napoli, their grip on the title is slowly slipping and they need their big names back to have any chance of keeping up some defence of their crown. 

Como on fire 

Cesc Fabregas' managerial reputation continues to gather momentum with Como's Champions League chase and they were simply irresistible in the thumping of Torino. 

Nico Paz has been the talk of the division this season, but Como were so good in this clash, that they didn't even need as much influence from their number 10.

Indeed, they scored six goals, with five different scorers, without the Argentine getting a goal or an assist, showing the array of attacking weapons they have at their disposal. 

Right now, they are Serie A's in-form team and making a massive bid for a top-four finish, which would represent Champions League football for the first time in the club's history.
