Juventus coach Antonio Conte believes that Inter Milan pose a genuine threat to his team's title aspirations following last night's 1-1 draw at the San Siro.

Mauro Icardi put the Nerazurri in front with an expert finish in the 73rd minute, but the Bianconeri response came through Arturo Vidal just two minutes later.

Conte, who has led Juve to back-to-back Serie A triumphs, said that he was pleased with how his players reacted to going a goal down against tough opposition.

"We confirmed today that Inter can target the top of the table this season, while Juventus are very tough to beat," the 44-year-old told Sky Sport Italia.

"I saw my team play very well in a difficult arena against a side that has everything to compete right to the end. What I liked best was the effort and desire to do well.

"At the start of the second half we should've kept more alert and concentrated, though it was tough after so many had been on international duty. We went a goal down, but reacted with anger and could've gone 2-1 up straight after."

The Old Lady welcome Hellas Verona to Turin next Sunday.
