Serie A showdown: title race, Champions League spots and relegation battles on the line

All eyes were on Napoli and Inter, the two contenders for the Scudetto. Napoli were held to a goalless draw in Parma, unable to break down a desperate side fighting for survival. Meanwhile, Inter also stumbled, conceding a 2-2 home draw to Lazio, who remain in the mix for a European spot.
With those results, Napoli retain a one-point lead at the top with 79 points, just ahead of Inter’s 78. That slim margin puts everything on the line for the final day — Napoli control their fate, but Inter are breathing down their necks.
Elsewhere, the Champions League race saw its final verdict: Juventus secured a 2-0 win over Udinese, locking in fourth place and a spot in next season’s Champions League.
It was heartbreak, however, for Milan, who were outplayed in a 3-1 loss to Roma. That result mathematically eliminates the Rossoneri from all European competitions next season, a bitter blow to close out a disappointing campaign.
The rest of the day’s results helped shape the race for survival and minor European places, though much of the spotlight remained on the title contenders and clubs in the top tier.
To ensure sporting fairness, Lega Serie A has moved the two decisive title matches — Como vs Inter and Napoli vs Cagliari — to be played simultaneously on Friday, May 23 at 8:45 PM CET.
Should Napoli and Inter finish level on points, a one-off Scudetto playoff would be required, played at a neutral venue, likely the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. It would mark the first title playoff since 1964, adding even more historic weight to an already electric finale.
With Milan out of Europe and Juve back in the Champions League, all that remains is the most coveted prize: the Serie A title, which will be decided in the most dramatic of final acts.
