Italy coach Roberto Mancini says Inter Milan stand alone in Serie A this season.

Inter are currently 11 points clear at the top of the table.

Former Nerazzurri coach Mancini stated: "Inter are a team with great prestige in Italy and the world.

"They have a great team this year and it proves that when you work hard with consistency and focus, the results arrive. They should set the example for everyone.

“When I arrived at Inter, the club hadn't won for many years then either, then we got the Coppa Italia and the Scudetto, building up to the Inter that won everything with the Treble. There are many affinities between the experiences."
