The penultimate night of the 2024/25 Serie A season delivered high drama and left everything to play for in the final round. With Napoli and Inter separated by a single point at the top, and Juventus, Roma, and Lazio locked in a fierce contest for the last Champions League spot, Italian football fans are bracing for a nail-biting finish.
Sunday night saw both title contenders stumble, keeping the championship race wide open. Napoli, unable to break down Parma’s defense, were held to a 0-0 draw. Meanwhile, Inter faced Lazio in a pulsating 2-2 draw, missing the chance to leapfrog Napoli at the summit.
With just one match left, Napoli remain first with 79 points, narrowly ahead of Inter on 78. Both teams have identical records for wins (23), but Napoli’s ten draws give them the slimmest of cushions. The title will be decided in the final 90 minutes: a win for Napoli will secure their triumph, but any slip could let Inter snatch the Scudetto at the death.
Behind the title drama, the battle for the last Champions League ticket is equally intense. Juventus’ 2-0 victory over Udinese kept them fourth on 67 points, just ahead of Roma (66) and Lazio (65). All three teams are separated by only two points, and each has a different path to Europe’s elite competition.
| Position | Team| Points |
| Position | Team | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | Juventus | 67 |
| 5 | Roma | 66 |
| 6 | Lazio | 65 |
Juventus hold the advantage: a win in their final match at Venezia guarantees Champions League football, regardless of other results. Roma, fresh from a 3-1 win over Milan, must beat Torino and hope Juventus falter. Lazio, after their spirited draw at Inter, need to win against Lecce and hope both rivals drop points.
Direct encounters and goal difference could become decisive if teams finish level on points. Juventus have the best goal difference (+22), followed by Roma (+19) and Lazio (+13), giving the Bianconeri an additional edge if tiebreakers are needed.
As the curtain falls on another breathtaking Serie A season, every outcome remains possible-from the title to the final Champions League berth.
One thing is certain: Italian football fans are in for a final day filled with tension, passion, and unforgettable moments.
