The Serie A Champions League race is now a genuine four-way fight. AC Milan, Juventus, AS Roma and Como are separated by only five points, with three rounds left to play. The standings still have Napoli on 70 points, then Milan on 67, Juventus on 65, Roma on 64 and Como on 62, which is tight enough to keep every result live.
Why Roma have changed the mood
Roma’s 4-0 win over Fiorentina was the headline result of the week and it matters because it pulled them deeper into the qualification picture. Their recent form is also the sharpest among the chasers, with four wins in their last five league games. That kind of run is the main reason the table has tightened so quickly.
The week also hurt the teams above them. Milan lost to Sassuolo, while Juventus, Napoli and Como all played stalemates. Football Italia described it as a round that "completely transformed the situation," and that is fair. When one team wins by four and the others around them fail to pull away, the gap closes fast.
Why Milan and Juventus still cannot relax
Milan’s recent league form reads L-D-W-L-L, with that 2-0 loss at Sassuolo their latest setback. Their next three fixtures are Atalanta, Genoa and Cagliari, so there is no easy finish waiting for them. They also drew 1-1 with Roma in their latest league meeting, which feels about right for this race because direct games have not offered much separation.
Juventus are unbeaten in their last five league matches, but the two draws in that run slowed their momentum. Their next three fixtures are Lecce, Fiorentina and Torino, and the Turin derby is the sort of game that can bite if the table stays this tight. They also shared a 0-0 with Milan in their most recent league meeting, another reminder that this scramble may come down to small slips rather than a single decisive swing.
Como remain in touch on 62 points and still have Hellas Verona, Parma and Cremonese left. That is enough to keep the outside challenge alive, even if they need help from elsewhere. The bigger point is simple: with five points covering four clubs, the race is still open and the remaining fixtures for Milan, Juventus, Roma and Como all matter in the same way, because nobody has built a safe gap yet.
