It seemed as though the final two rounds of the Serie A season would feature a battle for the remaining two UEFA Champions League spots, but there may now be three places up for grabs, as Napoli added even more drama to an already heated race with another costly slip-up.The Blues had the chance to secure second place and book their return to the Champions League last night, but instead they suffered a 3-2 defeat to Bologna at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona and will now need to finish the job over the final two rounds.⏹️ Full time#NapoliBologna 2-3💙 #ForzaNapoliSempre pic.twitter.com/DcFYVHujp2— Official SSC Napoli (@en_sscnapoli) May 11, 2026 Fortunately for Antonio Conte’s side, the schedule is favorable.
