Lazio have persistently maintained that their objective is not to have a go at the Scudetto but to finish in the top four and qualify for the Champions League. Yet the Aquile would be kicking themselves for a disappointing and lacklustre start to the 2010-11 campaign as they were held to a goalless draw in Genoa on Thursday.
With 34 points from 18 league matches, Lazio are five points behind leaders Milan in second and still have a good chance of overhauling that deficit and conquering Italy for the first time since 2000.
