Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte is open about their clash with Roma being a test of their title credentials.

The Nerazzurri saw their run of eight consecutive Serie A victories come to an end with a 2-1 loss at Sampdoria.

"We are talking about a strong team that is doing very well and certainly one of those that will challenge for the Scudetto or Champions League places," said Conte in his press conference.

“We will therefore inevitably measure up our own ambitions against this very strong Roma team. What I want to see over the next three games is the result, because I've learned the performance is judged mainly by the result.

“The same goes for the upcoming match with Juventus, we want to measure our ambitions with actions and not just words."
