90 minutes to decide title: Inter challenge Napoli and history, 2 precedents give Inzaghi hope
Only the final 90 minutes remain to close the 2024/25 Serie A season, with Inter sitting just one point behind league leaders Napoli. Inter will face Como on the final matchday, dreaming of a historic comeback to claim the Scudetto.
The statistics are clear: in the last 25 years of Serie A, only twice has a team in second place on the final matchday gone on to win the championship. The most recent case involved Inter itself, on the unforgettable May 5, 2002, when they lost 4–2 to Lazio and handed the title to Juventus.
Before that, it happened only once—in 2000—when Juventus lost 1–0 away to Perugia on May 4, 2000, and saw the title slip away.
Inzaghi and his team will need to give it their all, avoid overthinking, and especially approach the match against Como seriously. Como have been this season’s surprise team in Italy, coming into the final round with 6 wins and 1 draw in their last 7 Serie A matches.
