Inter Milan are on the verge of Serie A glory, but the script has been rewritten slightly. The Nerazzurri can no longer clinch the Scudetto without stepping onto the pitch this weekend, but the good news for fans is that a single point against Parma on Sunday evening will be enough to seal the title.
Heading into Week 35, there was a tantalizing scenario where Inter could have celebrated without even playing. They needed Napoli to lose to Como at the Stadio Sinigaglia, and for Sassuolo to avoid defeat against Milan on Sunday afternoon. If those results fell into place, the champagne could have been popped from the stands.
However, Napoli's 0-0 draw with Como on Saturday means that dream scenario is off the table. But here's the silver lining: it actually simplifies things for Simone Inzaghi's side. Now, all Inter need is a draw at home against Parma at San Siro to get the job done.
With a nine-point lead at the top of the table, a single point would extend that advantage to 10 with just three matches remaining. In Serie A, that's mathematically insurmountable. So while the path to the title has shifted, the destination remains the same. For Inter, it's now all about finishing the job in front of their own fans.
