Inter Milan and Napoli are gearing up for a dramatic final day of the season.
The Nerazzurri take on Como this evening. Meanwhile, the Partenopei host Cagliari.
Napoli are a point ahead of Inter at the top of the table. Therefore, if they win their match they will finish the season as champions.
On the other hand, if the Campanian team are to slip up and drop points, then Inter could nip in ahead of them at the top of the table.

Inter conceded a penalty in the closing stages of their match against the Biancocelesti. VAR had awarded the spot kick for a handball by defender Yann Bisseck.
Meanwhile, Napoli thought they had a penalty of their own in Parma. However, VAR ruled out the spot kick due to a foul in the buildup.
Inter coach Simone Inzaghi and his Napoli counterpart Antonio Conte both lost their tempers completely during those late episodes.
Therefore, both coaches received red cards.
As such, both Inzaghi and Conte will serve touchline bans for the final day.
As such, Inzaghi's lieutenant Massimiliano Farris will take over for this evening's match against Como. Meanwhile, Conte's assistant Cristian Stellini will be on the touchline for Napoli.

Top amateur golfers compete in S.F. while reaping rewards of college sports' new world
Jackson Koivun sure looked like a professional golfer as he navigated the Olympic Club's Ocean Course on Monday. Koivun's crisp, white Auburn golf shirt included a Footjoy logo. His bag promoted Titleist, his equipment sponsor. He also wore an Old Republic logo on one sleeve and another touting Betterment, a New York-based digital investment platform. That designation carries a different meaning these days, of course, in the era of Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) deals and revenue sharing. The striking transformation of college sports stretches beyond football to reach top golfers such as Koivun, a 20-year-old who grew up in San Jose. So he and the world's other accomplished non-pros (technically) are openly displaying their corporate affiliations this week during the 125th U.S. Amateur in San Francisco – while they chase a prestigious title offering zero prize money. 'It's definitely a little weird,' Koivun said of that curious contrast, 'but it's the world we live in now.' This new world hinges on marketing and name recognition nearly as much as tournament titles. Estimates of Koivun's NIL valuation range from $1.4 million (according to Essentially Sports) to $1.55 million (Golf NIL), a byproduct of two terrific seasons at Auburn. He swept the sport's major awards last year as a freshman. Golf NIL's top 10 features largely the same standout college players who reside near the top of the world amateur ranking, including Michael La Sasso of Ole Miss and Virginia's Ben James. Also on the NIL list: Arkansas' John Daly II, son of the two-time major champion, and Florida's Luke Poulter, son of Ian Poulter, who won three events on the PGA Tour and 12 more on the European Tour. Daly II and the younger Poulter are solid college players who clearly benefit from their dads' fame (Daly II has 212,000 followers on Instagram). The same goes for Tiger Woods' son Charlie, who has an NIL valuation of $2.5 million as a rising high school junior. (Daly II and Poulter are in the field at Olympic, while Woods is not.) That's essentially a projection, though Koivun and James are among those directly benefiting now from the new landscape. 'NIL is great for us – it puts some money in our pocket, which is nice,' Koivun said. 'I'm just thankful I'm at a football school, because they bring in all the money.' Koivun lived in the Bay Area until age 17 and spent all but his senior year of high school at Mitty. Then his family moved to Chapel Hill, N.C., in part so he could be closer to Auburn. He's showing signs of becoming a PGA Tour star one day, in ways beyond his college success. Koivun has made six tour starts this year and finished in the top 11 three times, including a tie for sixth in one event and tie for fifth in another. Put another way: He's giving sponsors reason to bet on his future. James, who stands No. 2 in the world amateur ranking, played Monday's round dressed almost fully in Puma gear. (His caddie even wore a Puma golf hat.) Another key sponsor, Transcend Capital Advisors, has its logo prominently displayed on his bag. James, a senior, acknowledged how much the college golf scene has changed in his four years at Virginia. 'It's a lot different, for sure,' James said. 'I don't know whether it's good or bad. … But it's cool to see so many young college guys playing so well at the highest level.' Players such as James and Koivun hired agents in high school, a reality Koivun described as 'kind of crazy.' There's also this tangible effect of NIL: It probably plays a role in top golfers staying in school rather than bolt for the tour. (Just imagine what kind of NIL earning power Tiger Woods would have had at Stanford.) Koivun said the ability to earn money as a college golfer offers some incentive to stay. He will return to Auburn for his junior year. 'I'm just going to go (pro) whenever I'm ready,' he said. Poulter hired an agent only about two weeks ago, despite his surname and earning potential. His college career started slowly, in part because of a back injury, but he pocketed one victory and five top-10s last season at Florida, where he soon will begin his redshirt junior year. Poulter posted an even-par, opening-round 70 on the Ocean Course, putting himself in good position heading into Tuesday's play. 'I've kind of been trying to play my game and let all that happen,' Poulter said of landing NIL deals. 'So now, because I've been playing a little better, it's coming. … Sometimes, people can get too engrossed in it and their golf suffers.' Briefly: Koivun started strong, shooting 2-under 68 on the Ocean Course on Monday. … NHL referee Garrett Rank posted 2-over 72 on the Ocean. … The field will be cut from 312 players to 64 after Tuesday's round, with match play starting Wednesday on the Lake Course.

Aston Martin Claim 2025 Car Would Be Faster If Not For 2026 F1 Regulations
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Aston Martin team boss Andy Cowell claimed that the current Formula 1 car would be better if 2026 were not a massive regulation change. For most of the season, the Silverstone-based team has struggled to compete in the midfield, falling behind the likes of Williams and Racing Bulls. The AMR25 lacked the drivability of other cars - notably both drivers complained about the handling and overall speed. The last race before the summer break in Hungary showed promising signs for the team. Aston Martin's Managing Technical Partner Adrian Newey ahead of the Formula One British Grand Prix at the Silverstone motor racing circuit in Silverstone, central England, on July 6, 2025.

Photo byFernando Alonso finished in fifth and Lance Stroll secured seventh, netting the team a sizeable points haul and moving them to sixth in the standings. While the last result was promising, it is clear that the team is putting all of their eggs in one basket - the 2026 regulation cycle. Next season is set to bring a completely new engine formula and different aerodynamic components, presenting a perfect chance for a team like Aston Martin to climb up the grid. Under the ownership of Lawrence Stroll, the team has invested big in facilities and staff, poaching legendary designer Adrian Newey from Red Bull. All of these moves have been made with 2026 in mind, and according to Cowell, the team is paying for it now as they are using their development time on a new car rather than upgrading this year's iteration. "This year is hugely challenging because we're here, and what we really want is to have the quickest car. And if '26 wasn't there, we would definitely have a quicker car today," Cowell told Racing News 365. "If, from the first of March, Adrian had put all his efforts into improving the '25 car, [I'm] absolutely certain that we would be further up the grid today. "But we're not doing that, we're focusing on '26 onwards, because the investment will pay off over more racing seasons, over more events. "And that's challenging. On a Sunday evening... Saturday after qualifying, Sunday after a race, we're not happy. Monday morning, we're not happy. And then you get into the jobs list, and crack on." The team brought a new front wing for Hungary, which likely played a role in the performance uptick, but neither Stroll nor Alonso should expect any other meaningful decisions for the rest of the season. Aston Martin appears happy to throw this season away if it means a great challenger in 2026 — making the current pain of extracting performance from the AMR25 worthwhile.

Liverpool Are Showing Interest In This Serie A Defender: One For The Future?
In a recent report, Tuttosport revealed that Liverpool are showing interest in Parma defender Giovanni Leoni. It has been stated that the Reds are keeping tabs on the Italian centre-back ahead of a potential move this summer. Leoni's Impressive Rise In Italian Football Leoni has caught the eye with his performances at the heart of Parma's backline in the previous campaign. The 18-year-old has already made 17 senior appearances for the Italian outfit last season, finding the back of the net once on all fronts. The Roma-born talent gave a good account of himself on the defensive third of the pitch as he made 14 tackles, 20 blocks and 15 interceptions in Serie A. He was even tidy when distributing the ball from the back after making 87.7% of his attempted passes in league football (stats via His current contract at the Italian club will run out in the summer of 2029, which could make it difficult for the Reds to snap him up on the cheap this off-season. UDINE, ITALY – MARCH 01: Giovanni Leoni of Parma reacts at the end of the Serie A match between Udinese and Parma at Stadio Friuli on March 01, 2025 in Udine, Italy. (Photo by) Liverpool Are Showing Interest In Leoni: Is He A Prospect For The Future? Leoni is a tough-tackling defender who can time his challenges well to earn possession back for his team inside his half. He usually clears his lines when required and can play his way out from the back. Standing at 1.96m, the Italian talent can use his towering presence to dominate the opposition attackers in the air. Leoni is primarily a central defender but can also fill in as a right-back if asked to do so by his manager. However, he is still quite raw and would need time to prove his worth in the Premier League if the Reds manage to bring him on board this summer. Leoni would add more bite and steel to Liverpool boss Arne Slot's defence. He has what it takes to fight for a regular first-team spot at the Merseyside club in the coming seasons. At 18, Leoni has the potential to be a future star in English football. He is undoubtedly a prospect to watch out for in the long run. Therefore, the Reds would be wise to go all out to secure Leoni's services before the end of this summer transfer window.
