Parma Almost Derail Napoli's Title Charge in Serie A Stalemate

Parma - Napoli 0:0

Napoli missed a golden opportunity to take a decisive step towards the Serie A title after being held to a frustrating goalless draw by relegation-threatened Parma in Matchday 37.

Even a win wouldn’t have mathematically secured the title for Antonio Conte’s side, as Napoli sit level on points with rivals Inter Milan, but trail on goal difference. With both head-to-head encounters between the two ending in draws this season, every goal — and every point — now carries enormous weight.

Despite dominating possession and creating numerous chances, Napoli couldn’t find a way past a resilient Parma defence, who stood firm for 90-plus minutes and earned a crucial point in their fight to avoid the drop. The result leaves the title race on a knife’s edge heading into the final matchday.

Napoli will host Cagliari on May 25 in what now becomes a must-win clash. Any slip-up at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona could hand the Scudetto to Inter Milan — a heartbreaking end to what has been an electrifying campaign for the Neapolitans.
