The Italian Serie A could be heading towards a playoff final as Inter Milan and Napoli stay neck-and-neck in the title race.
While other top European football leagues look done and dusted, the Italian Serie A is heading for a thrilling finish. Both Inter Milan and Napoli are level on points with five more matches left. Inter enjoyed a three-point lead till Sunday when they lost 1-0 to Bologna.
Antonio Conte’s Napoli defeated Monza on Saturday 1-0 with Scott McTominay scoring the winner. Despite this, Inter (71 points) are on the top of the table with a superior goal difference. Inter have a goal difference of 40 while Napoli have 27.
However, the goal difference lead will not be enough for Inter Milan to win the Serie A 2024-25 title if they remain level on points with Napoli at the end of the remaining five matches.
