Milan, Roma, Como and Juventus are battling for the last two Champions League places: here are all the possible combinations, tie-breakers and head-to-head advantages heading into the final 90 minutes of the season.
Champions race goes down to the wire
Everything will be decided on the final matchday of the Serie A season.
Two Champions League spots are still available, with four clubs involved in one of the tightest finishes in recent years. Milan and Roma lead the race on 70 points, while Como and Juventus remain alive at 68.
Inter and Napoli have already secured the first two Serie A spots for the 2026-27 Champions League.
Milan and Roma control their own destiny: a win would guarantee qualification. But several tie scenarios could completely reshuffle the standings.
