It has all come down to the last Series A matchweek where Nerazzurri will face Como on Friday in a decisive clash. They&rsquo;re trailing Napoli only by a single point. Hence, the reigning champions must win this match.<\/p><p>However, that won&rsquo;t be enough as they will have to hope for a slip-up by their rivals to defend their title. Their final league fixture arrives just eight days before their Champions League showdown with PSG. Hence, there are some questions about squad rotation as well. Como, however, are no pushovers. They&rsquo;re riding high after a remarkable return to the top flight.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The last dance &#9876;&#65039;&#128309; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GByXyrWTPd\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/GByXyrWTPd<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Como1907 (@Como_1907) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Como_1907\/status\/1925807339891839409?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>May 23, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do-or-die clash for Nerazzurri<\/h2><p>Inter Milan squandered a golden chance to leapfrog Napoli last weekend as they drew 2-2 against Lazio.

Now, Simone Inzaghi&rsquo;s men must beat Como and pray that Napoli drop points in their match against Cagliari today.&nbsp;<\/p><p>However, the win won&rsquo;t come easy for the Nerazzurri as their recent away form has been concerning.
