Inter Milan was refused the Scudetto despite the beating of Como 2-0 in their last Serie A match of the season, which brought the record from Nerazzurri to eight victories of their last nine season finals.
Match report
Although some can be tempted to wonder about the beautiful surroundings of the Giuseppe Sinigaglia stadio, the eyes of Inter were fixed from the start on things in Naples, because they hoped for a chance for the title.
The Nerazzurri still had to stop in the early stages, before Máximo Perrone stopped Matteo Darmian's shot. Como continued to play more than their role in the game, in which Nico Paz and Gabriel Strefezza became an ambitious effort individually.
Still, Stefan de Vrij Hakan met Çalhanoğlu's floating corner episode with a dominant header in the 21st minute, and there were cautious parties despite the goal that the internal top stood while things were.

The Larani continued to push anastasios Douvikas with a header saved and Paz shot off-target. Then Ivan Smolčić was awkwardly denied by Yann Sommer, and Strefezza was about both sides of Pepe Reina who denied Mehdi Taremi at the other end.
Como was still mockingly celebrated when the news scored by Napoli to reclaim the top position, but they were soon cheering when Reina was sent away for the break in the last game of his career, after having hurried out of his box and captured Taremi.
It took only six second half minutes for Joaquín Correa in van der Brempt and cool his shot along Jean Butez, but their joy was infected by another Napoli target in the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
Taremi then sent his attempt to drip harmlessly, and there was concern for the Nerazzurri when Yann Bisseck hobbled away as part of a triple change with Munich partly in mind.

There was not the same intensity at that time, but both teams played some nice football and Patrick Cutrone hit an ambitious shot marginal wide. Kristjan Asllani also saw his strike bent behind, when Inter returned to winning ways, but was eliminated by Napoli on top of Serie A.
They will now look at the final of the UEFA Champions League while hoping for Continental Glory, who have already missed the domestic cutlery. Although Como loses for the first time in nine games, they will be guaranteed to finish 10th in their first top campaign after an absence of 21 years.
