There is still a real possibility that the Serie A title will be decided by a single play-off between Inter and Napoli with two matches remaining in the 2024-25 season.
Napoli leads Inter by one point with two matches remaining in the 2024-25 season. If the two teams finish level on points, the title will be decided by a playoff.
If that happens, there will almost certainly be a change in schedules before the Champions League final at the end of the month, as Inter Milan face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final on May 31.
Possible scenarios
If Napoli win their remaining two matches, they will win the title outright, regardless of Inter's results.
If Napoli wins one match and draws one, Inter will need to win both matches to win the league title.
If Napoli wins one match and loses the other, Inter will win the title without a doubt with two wins.
If Inter wins one match and draws one in this scenario, the title will be decided by a play-off.
Play-off match date
One thing is certain: the Champions League final, scheduled for May 31, will not be rescheduled due to the Serie A title race.
This means that the onus is on the Italian League to rearrange the matches to align with the Champions League final if necessary.
According to reports from several media outlets, including La Gazzetta dello Sport and Sport Mediaset, there is a possibility that the Napoli vs. Cagliari and Como vs. Inter matches, currently scheduled for the final round of the season on May 25, could be brought forward and played on Wednesday, May 21 or Thursday, May 22 instead.
This would allow the Serie A title play-off to be played on Sunday, May 25 or Monday, May 26, and still give Inter Milan almost a full week to prepare for the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain on May 31.
