In the Serie A title fight, the top trio collectively stumbled on matchday 26.
On Monday, SSC Napoli missed the chance to overtake AC Milan and champions Inter Milan and take the top of the table. Gli Azzurri only drew 1-1 (0-0) at relegation candidate Cagliari Calcio and are third with 54 points behind Milan (56) and Inter (54). Gaston Pereiro (58th) put the Sardinians in the lead, former Wolfsburg Victor Osimhen saved Naples at least one point (87th).
On Saturday, AC was only able to draw 2-2 (1-1) at tail light US Salernitana, the club of long-time Bayern star Franck Ribery. Inter even suffered their third defeat of the season in a 0-2 (0-2) loss to Sassuolo Calcio on Sunday. However, the Nerazzurri have played one game fewer than the two biggest title contenders.
