Inter are on the verge of clinching their 21st Scudetto and were the first team to secure qualification for the next UEFA Champions League. Behind them, the race for Europe remains wide open: four Champions League spots are up for grabs, along with places in the UEFA Europa League and the UEFA Conference League, setting up a tense and unpredictable finish to the campaign.
