Napoli and Inter both lose points as Serie A title race intensifies: Serie A standings
Serie A’s penultimate matchday delivered high-stakes drama as Napoli’s lead at the top was seriously challenged, while battles for Champions League qualification and relegation intensified across the table.
Napoli, who currently top the league, travelled to Parma but were held to a goalless draw despite a determined effort. A late penalty appeal from Parma was controversially overturned, leaving Napoli needing to secure a win in their final match if they want to clinch the Scudetto this season.
Inter Milan, just one point behind Napoli, faced Lazio at home in a crucial encounter. The match ended in a 2-2 draw, marked by two Inter goals being disallowed by VAR and a disputed penalty decision. Despite the setback, Inter remain firmly in the title race, with their last game against Como presenting a final chance to overtake Napoli.
The fight for the remaining Champions League spots tightened further. Juventus, sitting fourth, won a narrow match against Udinese. Lazio, who are sixth, drew against Inter, while Roma, trailing by just a point, won their fixture against Milan to stay in close contention for a Champions League berth.
With just one matchday left, Serie A’s title race, European qualification, and relegation battles promise a dramatic finale. Napoli and Inter’s concluding fixtures will be decisive, while several mid-table clubs watch anxiously, hoping to secure their European ambitions or avoid the drop.
