“It is too early to say whether this can be a Scudetto showdown,” Chiellini told Sky Sport Italia.

“We are only in Week 8 and there are other teams who cannot be ruled out after so few games. I find it absurd.

“At the same time, I think both teams are mature and experienced enough to keep their balance regardless of what happens.”
