Juventus powerbroker John Elkann has taken a swipe at Serie A leaders Inter and hopes AC Milan can still overhaul them for the Scudetto title.

"We are hoping for a miracle," he bellowed. "We hope that Milan can overhaul Inter, even though that will be difficult.

"If that doesn't happen then we will have to just tip our hats and congratulate Inter because Juve have class unlike certain others…"

Elkann was asked to comment on the future of Juve Coach Claudio Ranieri, but he remained tight-lipped.

"It's not up to me to talk about that," he insisted. "I am just a fan and don't have any other influence.

"If they asked me to be President of Juventus I would be honoured, but that doesn't mean I would put myself forward for that job."
