“Inter one step away from winning the Scudetto in Serie A.”

Inter Milan takes a decisive step towards the Serie A title 2025-26: when could they be officially crowned champions?

With a dramatic 4-3 victory over Como last Sunday, Inter Milan has positioned itself favorably to clinch the Serie A title for the 2025-26 season. But when can the team led by Cristian Chivu be mathematically confirmed as Italian champions? The answer is closer than many might think, and the schedule promises excitement until the very last minute.

Currently, Inter leads the table with 75 points after 32 matches, maintaining a solid nine-point advantage over Napoli, the second-placed team, which has 66 points from the same number of games. This gap is crucial in a race that still has six matches to play.

If both Inter and Napoli win all their remaining games, the confirmation of Inter’s title will only occur after their match against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico on May 10, corresponding to the 26th round of Serie A. However, there is a scenario that could bring relief to the Nerazzurri fans sooner.

If Inter wins their next two matches against Cagliari (at home, April 17) and Torino (away, April 26), and Napoli draws or loses any of their upcoming games, the gap between the two teams would increase to at least 13 points with only four matches left to play. This would make it mathematically impossible for Chivu’s team to be overtaken, thus securing the title by the end of the match in Turin on April 26.

Inter’s remaining schedule for this season includes matches against Parma (home, May 3), Lazio (away, May 10), Verona (home, May 17), and Bologna (away, May 24). Meanwhile, Napoli will face Lazio (home, April 18), Cremonese (home, April 24), Como (away, May 3), Bologna (home, May 10), Pisa (away, May 17), and Udinese (away, May 24).

Currently, the Serie A table shows Inter at the top with 75 points, followed by Napoli with 66, Milan with 63, and Juventus with 60, making the battle for the title and the positions qualifying for European competitions one of the most exciting in recent years.

For Cristian Chivu and his players, the task is clear: maintain their relentless pace and capitalize on any slip-ups from Napoli to secure the Scudetto as quickly as possible. The upcoming matches promise to be decisive, and Inter fans are already preparing for celebrations.

This Serie A season is far from decided, but everything indicates that Inter is on the right path to lift the trophy for the first time this decade. Stay tuned for the upcoming chapters of this epic battle for Italian football!
