• Inter Milan also missed a chance to overtake Napoli, ending 2-2 with Lazio.

In an intense showdown for the Serie A title, Napoli was unable to secure the championship on Sunday after being held to a 0-0 draw by relegation-threatened Parma. Although Napoli created significant opportunities, including hitting the woodwork twice, they could not convert any chances into goals. This stalemate leaves them just one point ahead of Inter Milan, who also played to a dramatic 2-2 draw against Lazio, effectively prolonging the title race into the final round of the season, according to Channel News Asia and Reuters.

In Milan, Inter had a rollercoaster of emotions as they were denied victory by Lazio when Pedro converted a late penalty in the dying moments of the match. After leading twice, through goals by Yann Bisseck and Denzel Dumfries, Inter's title aspirations were dashed when they conceded a penalty for a handball by Bisseck, who had initially opened the scoring. This unexpected turn of events means Inter must now win their final match against Como, while Napoli’s success hinges on their home game against Cagliari, according to Dawn and Channel News Asia.

Following the matches, tensions flared as both managers, Antonio Conte of Napoli and Cristian Chivu of Parma, received red cards after an altercation. Napoli’s goalkeeper, Alex Meret, shared that the closing moments were filled with high emotions as they awaited results from the Inter-Lazio game. Meret mentioned, "We know how to endure and fight, and we must remember where we started from, which should fill us with pride," reflecting the resilience of the team as they prepare for their critical final match, according to Reuters and Dawn.

As the final day approaches, the stakes are higher than ever; should Napoli and Inter end the season tied on points, the Serie A title will be decided in a playoff, adding another layer of excitement to the concluding matches of the season. With both teams having shown vulnerabilities, Cagliari and Como pose significant challenges that could determine the champions of Serie A, according to Reuters and Dawn.
