The emotions of the 2021-22 season continue in one of the oldest leagues in the world, the Italian Serie A or Calcio, and right now we are facing what promises to be the most exciting season finale in recent years. There are only three days left and up to four teams have mathematical options to fight for the championship. Only Milan and Inter seem to have real chances of fighting for the Scudetto on the last date, something that has not happened for more than 10 years, specifically since the 2009-10 season, when Inter itself certified the title against Roma.
The only team that currently depends on itself to win the championship is AC Milan. That is why, to put pressure on their historic rival, Inter will have to beat Empoli this Friday. A victory that would send them to the top of the standings for at least 48 hours.
