Key Takeaways
- Inter Milan can no longer win the Serie A title without playing; they must face Parma Calcio 1913 on Sunday.
- Napoli’s goalless draw with Como 1907 destroyed the chance for Inter to secure the championship while watching other matches.
- A single point against Parma at San Siro will give Inter an unassailable ten-point lead with three games remaining.
FC Internazionale Milano must step onto the pitch to claim the championship. The Milan outfit cannot secure the Scudetto from the sidelines this weekend.
Before this round of fixtures, the club had a chance to celebrate the title without kicking a ball. For this to happen, Como 1907 needed to beat SSC Napoli at the Stadio Sinigaglia, and US Sassuolo had to avoid defeat against AC Milan.
However, Napoli’s stalemate with Como has ended that possibility. The result means the Partenopei dropped points at a crucial moment.
Instead, Simone Inzaghi’s side now require just a single point from their clash with Parma Calcio 1913 at San Siro on Sunday evening. The Nerazzurri currently hold a nine-point advantage at the summit of the table.
Extending this lead to ten points with only three fixtures remaining would make them uncatchable. The Italian giants stand on the brink of their twentieth league crown, but they must earn it on the pitch.
