Only one match remains before the 2025 Serie A calendar year concludes – the clash between Roma and Genoa. However, the most crucial certainty has already been established: **Inter will finish the year in first place.**
The decisive away victory against Atalanta secured the top spot for Chivu`s team. This win served as the necessary immediate response following victories by their rivals, Milan (who won 3-0 over Hellas Verona at San Siro) and Napoli (who secured a 2-0 win away at Cremonese). Roma now needs a strong performance against Juventus to ensure they enter the New Year holding fourth position.
Meanwhile, Como secures sixth place for 2025, a standing that makes Europa League qualification highly probable, though the overall battle for European spots remains fierce. At the bottom of the table, Cagliari and Parma ended the year on a high note, thanks to key victories against Torino and Fiorentina, respectively. Conversely, the Viola (Fiorentina) continues its downward slide, seemingly trapped in an unending crisis at the foot of the league.
