It's a suspense series! The Italian championship spares its best effects for its last day, which will be played in two stages. First the designation of the champion on Friday evening, with Naples and Inter Milan who will play their respective matches, we will come back to this, then the other eight games on Sunday for a multiplex which will allow us to seal the names of European qualifiers and relegated. Only certainties at the dawn of the 38th day: Naples, Inter Milan and Atalanta are qualified for the Champions League, and Monza is relegated.

Which leaves a lot to determine. First the identity of the champion, after a season full of twists and turns. We first saw an attractive napoli under the leadership of an Antonio Conte more determined than ever, then interusing it over thanks to its XXL workforce. Engaged in his formidable course in the Champions League, the Lombard club nevertheless experienced a terrible series of 3 consecutive defeats in late April, which made him lose his head from the championship and eliminated him in the Italian Cup semi-final. Despite the fatigue and a turnover imposed by the demential calendar, Inter was able to chain two victories at a time when everyone imagines letting go.

The same fate was reserved for Simone Inzaghi, outraged by the draw of the draw conceded at home against Lazio. Naples, with his point ahead, has his destiny in his hands.

A notch below in the classification, the last qualifying place for the Champions League will be played between Juventus Turin, AS Roma and Lazio (in order in the ranking). Juve should not be missed in the last match, a trip to Venice, which plays its maintenance. Roma will evolve outside, opposite the Torino, while Lazio receives Lecce, another candidate for maintenance. The two failed for the Champions League will qualify for the Europa League and the Conference League, unless Fiorentina, in ambush, takes advantage of a Lazio miss to scratch a European ticket. At the bottom of the painting, it is a battle at 4 between Parma, Lecce, Empoli and Venice, which will be played next Sunday.
