Inter still left the weekend in command. The Nerazzurri moved to 79 points, 10 clear of Napoli, with four matches remaining after the 2-2 draw at Torino.
Inter Milan still controls the title race
The draw did not change the direction of the Scudetto race as much as it changed its mood. Inter had appeared ready to turn the final stretch into a formality after Marcus Thuram headed in Federico Dimarco’s cross in the 23rd minute and Yann Bisseck added another headed goal early in the second half.
Torino’s response was sharp and damaging. Giovanni Simeone cut the deficit in the 70th minute after a clever exchange with Emirhan Ilkhan, then Nikola Vlasic converted a penalty nine minutes later after Carlos Augusto handled Duván Zapata’s header. Inter pushed again late, but Piotr Zielinski missed the clearest stoppage-time opening as Torino held out for a point.
The slip left Inter close, but not finished. Had Inter won in Turin, AP reported, the club would have needed only to avoid defeat against Parma next weekend to seal the title regardless of other results. Instead, a win over Parma at San Siro would still be enough to secure Inter’s 21st league crown.
Torino fightback exposes late-game concern
For Cristian Chivu, the concern will be less about the table and more about the way the match shifted. Inter had control, territory and a two-goal lead, but Torino’s first goal changed the tempo and the home side’s belief grew quickly.
Dimarco remained one of Inter’s most influential players, assisting both goals. Inter’s official highlights noted that Thuram’s opener was his 50th goal for the club and that Dimarco set a new Serie A single-season assist record before extending it with the corner for Bisseck.
That made the dropped points more frustrating. Inter did enough to show why they are the league’s strongest side, but Torino did enough to show why title races often deliver one last complication before the trophy is lifted.
Milan-Juventus draw keeps the top-four race alive
The night’s other major result came at San Siro, where AC Milan and Juventus produced another scoreless draw. The Milan-Juventus stalemate left Milan third on 67 points and Juventus fourth on 64, with Como and Roma three points behind Juve in the fight for the final Champions League place.
The match had chances but little rhythm. Khéphren Thuram had a Juventus goal ruled out for offside, Mike Maignan denied Francisco Conceição, and Alexis Saelemaekers struck the crossbar for Milan. The draw helped both clubs avoid a damaging defeat, but it did little to settle the race behind Inter and Napoli.
Napoli had already done its part earlier in the weekend. The defending champions kept faint pressure on Inter with Napoli’s 4-0 win over Cremonese, a result that ensured Inter could not arrive in Turin with the title already all but wrapped up.
Inter Milan’s recent title story adds weight to the final stretch
This title chase carries recent history. Inter’s last league triumph came in 2024, when the club secured its 20th Serie A crown and second star with a derby win over Milan, a night Reuters described in its report on how Inter secured the title in a heated derby.
A year later, Napoli turned the race the other way. Antonio Conte’s side beat Cagliari to win the 2024-25 title and finished one point ahead of Inter, a reminder of how small late-season margins can become, as shown in Reuters’ account of Napoli being crowned champions after beating Cagliari.
Chivu’s role adds another thread. Inter hired the former defender in June 2025 after Simone Inzaghi’s departure, and the move has pushed the club back to the edge of a league title in his first Serie A campaign as manager. Reuters detailed that transition when Inter appointed Chivu as manager.
What comes next for Inter Milan
Inter’s task is now simple: beat Parma at San Siro and end the race without waiting for Napoli, Milan or Juventus. The table still says Inter are almost there. The Torino draw only made the final step feel less ceremonial.
For Torino, the comeback brought more than pride. It secured a point that confirmed safety and offered one of the club’s best moments of the season. For Milan and Juventus, the goalless draw preserved their positions but left the Champions League race unsettled.
For Inter Milan, the message is clear. The Scudetto remains within reach, but the next match must be managed with the control that slipped away in Turin.
