Napoli will have to wait a week more to seal the title of Serie A after being held in a draw in Parma while the nearest rivals, Inter Milan, attracted 2-2 a dramatic match with the Lazio. Antonio Conte’s team remains a point ahead of Inter and was unhappy not to win after hitting the woodwork twice thanks to Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa and Matteo Politano, while Scott MCTOMINAY also had a low free kick on the crossbar. The outside side thought that they would have the chance to take up the points in the 96th minute when David Neres was dirty, only for the decision to be reversed for a fault committed by Giovanni Simeone earlier in the move.
A fiery match at the Stadio Ennio Tardini ended with Conte and his counterpart Parma Cristian Chivu being both sent following a flamboyant row between the two canoes in the last moments.
However, a home victory on the last day against Cagliari, which is safe thanks to a 3-0 victory against Venezia, second thoroughly, will give Napoli a fourth league crown.
“We are close, but we have more than not to do in front of our own fans. We were in the lead for much of the season, even with a lot of difficulties,” said Conte in Dazn.
“It is these boys who put their hearts and souls there. I really hope that we can win this title because it would really be a great success.”
The last Inter match is in Como which ends its first season of Serie has in more than two decades in great shape, although the victories sequence of the Cesc Fabregas team ended in six games with a 1-1 draw in Safe Verona.
Napoli has been saved to be overwhelmed by Inter thanks to a Pedro atmosphere for Lazio, including a 90th minute penalty.

Inter has again shown their unnecessary side by giving an advance twice, Bisseck opening the scoring on the half-time before Pedro was not in 73rd minute.
The drawing of Lazio kept the Roman club hunting at the last place of the Champions League, although Marco Baroni’s team has two points behind Juve at four placed who beat Udinese 2-0 with four paintings.
Sandwich between Juve and Lazio are Roma, who beat 10 AC Milan 3-1 men at a night when the fans honored Claudio Ranieri in his last home game as a coach for his childhood club.
Milan, who had to play most of the match, a man below after Santiago Gimenez was sent in the 21st minute, seated ninth and will not play European football next season.
Bologna’s offer for football from the Champions League is completed after a 3-2 defeat at La Fiorentina which left the winners of the Italian Cup five points behind Juve.
However, the Vincenzo Italiano team will play in the Europa League next season thanks to its historic Cup victory against Milan on Wednesday, its first major trophy since 1974.
A point was not enough to guarantee the security of Parma because the Chivu team is two points above Empoli who are just inside the fall area after beating the relegated Monza 3-1.
Empoli is at 31 points with Lecce, who moved a place above the relegation area with a 1-0 victory against Torino.
