Four teams chase two Champions League spots in Serie A finale

Napoli have sealed their Champions League place, but around them the race remains wide open. With one round left, AC Milan and Roma sit level on 70 points in third and fourth, Juventus and Como trail by two points behind Napoli on 73. Four clubs, two tickets to Europe's top competition.

Leaders settled, chaos behind

Napoli confirmed their return to the Champions League with a straightforward 3-0 win at relegated Pisa. Goals from Scott McTominay, Amir Rrahmani and Rasmus Højlund carried Antonio Conte's side over the line. No drama, just business.

The matchup already has enough history; the job is to keep the reading list shorter than the tension.

Milan and Roma kept pace by winning on Sunday. The math is simple: whoever finishes higher between those two grabs the third spot. Behind them, Juventus host Fiorentina and Como travel to Cremonese — both must win and hope for help.

Inter's quiet coronation

Inter Milan claimed the Serie A trophy three rounds early. The league was settled, the cup won last week, so San Siro turned the final home game into a celebration. Trophies handed out, an open-top bus parade through Milan afterward. The double for the first time since 2010, marked without urgency but with clear pride.

Elsewhere

Christian Pulisic came off the bench in the 76th minute to set up Zachary Athekame for Milan's second goal in a 2-1 win at Genoa. The US forward hasn't scored in 18 league matches since Dec 28. In Rome, Roma beat Lazio 2-0 amid post-goal scuffles that produced two red cards — defender Wesley and midfielder Nicolò Rovella both sent off. Juventus lost 2-0 at home to Fiorentina, hearing heavy jeering from their own support.

Como stayed alive with a 1-0 win over Parma, keeping Cesc Fàbregas' side two points clear of the chase. In the relegation zone, Lecce scored in stoppage time to beat Sassuolo 3-2 and climb to 17th. Cremonese lost at Udinese and remain a point adrift.
