Match Week 19 made one thing clear — Inter Milan are firing on all cylinders. A dominant win over Bologna extended their winning streak to five straight league matches, as Lautaro Martínez, Thuram, and Zielinski continued to set the tone for the league’s most complete side. With the best attack, best goal differential, and goals coming from everywhere, Inter look a level above the rest once again.
Atalanta followed with a huge win over Roma, outplaying them from start to finish and raising serious questions about Roma’s ceiling under their current setup. Juventus dropped more points in a frustrating draw against Lecce, showing clear tactical improvement under Spalletti but still lacking the quality and consistency to be taken seriously as Scudetto contenders. Elsewhere, Napoli stayed steady with another win using their 3-5-2, Milan scraped past Cagliari, Fiorentina finally moved out of last place, and Como continued to quietly impress.

Match Week 17 closed the book on Serie A in 2025 with tension, momentum shifts, and major questions heading into the new year. Inter Milan ended the calendar year on top of the table after grinding out a 1–0 win away at Atalanta in one of the most entertaining tactical battles of the season. Lautaro Martínez delivered the winner, while both sides saw goals ruled out and missed big chances in a match that could have gone either way. Inter make it four straight wins, strengthening their grip on the Scudetto race as 2025 comes to a close.
Juventus continued their upward trend with a 2–0 win at Pisa, showing a mentality and intensity that have been missing for much of the year.

Fiorentina, meanwhile, hit a new low with a shocking loss to Parma, raising serious concerns about how far this season can fall.
Elsewhere, Milan cruised past Verona behind another strong performance from Pulisic, Napoli stayed consistent with a Hojlund brace, Como overwhelmed Lecce, Roma responded with a win over Genoa, and Bologna once again paid the price for costly goalkeeping errors.

Juventus follow that up with their most confident league performance of the season, taking all three points against Roma and continuing a strong run in all competitions as the top four race tightens.
Elsewhere, Fiorentina finally snap their nightmare run with a dominant five-goal performance against Udinese, raising the question of whether their season can be salvaged or if the damage is already done. Roma continue to search for answers as tactical questions and squad issues persist, while Atalanta grind out a late win and the bottom of the table remains just as chaotic as the Scudetto race.

Roma quietly keep pace with another clean sheet, tightening the race at the top, while Juventus grind out a narrow win in Bologna to stay within touching distance of the top four.
