This Round starts with the news that Inter won the Coppa Italia Frecciarossa Final defeating Fiorentina on Wednesday 24 May.
✅ Here is the situation: 👉🏆🇮🇹 Napoli won the 2022-23 Serie A Scudetto on Thursday 4 May 2023 after the 1-1 draw with Udinese.
Verdict – Relegation. After 11 seasons in Serie A, Sampdoria is arithmetically relegated to Serie B 2023-24 after losing the Serie A Week 34 against Udinese.
Cremonese will return to Serie B next season after 17th-placed Spezia drew at Lecce on Sunday, sealing their relegation with two games remaining in the season. Spezia reached 31 points. Mathematically speaking, Cremonese in the 19th place with 24 points, can no longer leapfrog them for safety.

✅ 10 Serie A Games Completed
⚽️ Serie A Top Scorer up to Week 37 (Updated on Sunday 28 May 2023)
Good news for Inter securing their place in next season’s Champions League 2023-24 after a 3-2 win over Atalanta. Inter have remained unbeaten in their last 9 home matches against Atalanta in Serie A (W6 D3): only between May 1964 and January 1985 did they do better (11 games in a row). Inter scored two goals in the first 3 minutes of play in a single Serie A match for the first time since 5 January 1941 against Roma. Atalanta conceded two in the first three minutes for the first time in the competition.
Milan obtained the second consecutive victory after the one against Sampdoria and arithmetically qualified for the next Champions League with one match before the end of the championship. Pioli’s team can still finish third, but to overcome Inter they will have to win against Verona on the last day and hope that the Nerazzurri lose on the Turin field. A second defeat in a row, however, for Juventus, who thus remain in seventh place in the standings, one point behind Roma in sixth and two behind Atalanta in fifth. To get to the Europa League, Juventus will have to win away against Udinese and hope for missteps by the Giallorossi with Spezia and the Bergamo players with Monza.
For the first time in their history in Serie A, Salernitana have gone seven straight home matches without defeat in the competition (W4, L3).
Torino have won four consecutive away games without conceding for the fourth time in a single Serie A championship (previously in 1935/36 and twice in 1942/43). Torino have won 31 points in 19 away games in this championship (W9, D4, L6), the record for away grenades in the era of three points for a win in a single Serie A championship.
Empoli’s goal, which came after 95 minutes and 26 seconds, was the most recent for the Tuscans in Serie A since 2004/05 (as of when data is available).
Napoli had not drawn a Serie A match after going two goals up since 1 December 2021 (2-2 v Sassuolo). Bologna had not drawn a league game after going down by two goals since 23 December 2020 (2-2 v Atalanta). Bologna (51 in 2022/23) passed the 50-point mark in a Serie A championship for the first time since 2011/12, when they reached 51 and finished in 9th place.
Lecce have not conceded a goal in two consecutive Serie A games for the first time since April 2012, with Coach Serse Cosmi. First error from the penalty spot for Monza, the Brianza players have scored five of the six penalties taken in this Serie A TIM season. Lecce defeated Monza and got their salvation.
Lazio have won both of their seasonal matches against Cremonese in Serie A for the second time, after 1929/30. Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is the midfielder who has participated in the most goals in this Serie A TIM season (17, the result of nine goals and eight assists).
