As the curtain draws on the 2024-25 Serie A season, Italy’s top flight braces for one of the most dramatic final matchdays in recent memory. With the title undecided, European spots still up for grabs, and relegation looming for some, the league is set for a grandstand finish.
🏆 The Scudetto Showdown: Napoli vs Inter
Napoli sit atop the table with 79 points but failed to put one hand on the trophy after a frustrating 0-0 draw at Parma. Inter Milan, hot on their heels with 78 points, also stumbled—conceding a stoppage-time penalty to draw 2-2 with Lazio.
The equation is now brutally simple. Napoli host Cagliari in their final game, while Inter travel to Como. A win for Napoli secures the title. But should they slip, and Inter take all three points, the Nerazzurri will snatch the Scudetto on the final day. If both sides end level on points, a historic playoff will be needed to crown the champion—Serie A’s new tie-breaking rule adds an extra layer of tension.
Current Top 4:
| Position | Team | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Napoli | 79 |
| 2 | Inter Milan | 78 |
| 3 | Atalanta | 74 |
| 4 | Juventus | 67 |
💔 Milan’s Collapse and the Fight for Europe
One of the weekend’s biggest headlines is AC Milan’s confirmed absence from Europe next season. A damaging 3-1 loss to Roma sealed their fate, leaving them 9th in the table with 60 points. It’s a bitter blow for the Rossoneri, who started the season with Champions League ambitions.
Meanwhile, Roma and Lazio are battling for Europa League spots, with Fiorentina and Bologna just behind them, hoping to sneak in on the final day. With only a few points separating 5th to 8th, the final fixtures will be decisive.
European Qualification Race:
| Position | Team | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | Roma | 66 |
| 6 | Lazio | 65 |
| 7 | Fiorentina | 62 |
| 8 | Bologna | 62 |

⚠️ Relegation Dogfight: Lecce or Empoli?
While Monza and Venezia have already been consigned to Serie B, the final relegation spot remains in limbo. Lecce earned a gritty 1-0 win over Torino, edging them just above the drop zone, while Empoli also claimed a vital 3-1 win over Monza to keep their survival hopes alive.
On the final day, Lecce travel to face Fiorentina—who still have European hopes—while Empoli visit Lazio. It’s a brutal finish that could go either way, with only a point separating the two.
