3 big points and beating Juve on the head to head

It's essentially a 3.5 point lead, right?

Talk Juve could be kicked out of Serie A over that ESL debacle.

Zhang has asked Inter's players to waive 2 months wages, which could save circa €25m - they must be in a worse state than they're letting on if it has come to this a week after clinching the title.

Just read De Zerbi is expected to take over at Shakhtar next season. I find that a real shame. He's done a brilliant job at Sassuolo and will be a big loss to the league. I get that they're a Champions League side but it seems like a strange career move.

Money talks. Apparently turned down Fiorentina as well.
He would have been perfect for them but Gattuso will be great for them I suppose anyway if the rumours are to be believed.

Napoli bet Udinese 5-1 last night. They're now 4 points clear of Juve

Milan and Atalanta can have it wrapped up before they meet if they win their next 2 games

with 2 games left looking like

atalanta 75
milan 75
napoli 73
juve 72

who's gonna be the unlucky one to miss out?

Next set of fixtures: Juve v Inter (H) on Saturday, Napoli v Fiorentina (A) Sunday

Juve need to win and hope Napoli slip up.

Atalanta and Milan should wrap up champions league in their next games (away to Genoa and home to Cagliari respectively) before playing each other final day

Ultimate insult for Torino. The ref blew it up on 89.90m

Torino could be in trouble. They are away to fellow strugglers Spezia next, followed by a trip to Lazio.

Benevento's next game is at home to Crotone. You'd expect they'll win that, and they deserve to go down if they can't.

If Torino lose their next two and Benevento beat Crotone, it will come down to the final game of the season: Torino vs Benevento, to see which of them stays up. That would be an exciting prospect. Almost like a relegation play-off.

Cagliari probably would be in danger too, assuming they lose to Milan in the next game. Genoa at home is their final fixture.

Atalanta 3-0 up and looking good to secure Champions League today

Champions league secured for them now but they went about it the hard way winning 4-3

This prospect moved a step closer today after Spezia beat Torino 4-1. Torino's next game is away at Lazio, while Benevento host Crotone tomorrow. Great achievement by Spezia to stay up.

Juve leading Inter 2-1 at half-time. Two pens in this game and I thought both were pretty soft, particularly the Juve one.

Juve down to ten after Betancur sent off. Ballsy of Pirlo to sub Ronaldo to try and shut up shop for the final stages.

2-2. Chiellini own goal. Ref initially disallowed it but it's correctly given on review. Five minutes or so of normal time to go.

And now the ref has given Juve a penalty. Never a penalty in a million years for me. This ref stinks.

It stands and Cuadrado scores it. I think that's a disgrace.

Brozovic given a second yellow. That is a correct decision. Ten men each for the final minutes.

Plenty of drama in the game but a lot of it down to that awful ref. One of the worst officiating performances I've seen this season.

How this is a penalty I do not know. If anything, Cuadrado kicks Perisic's leg.

Fiorentina down to 10 men as well. Napoli home to Hellas Verona next week
