If they arrive on a par with Inter and Napoli, the Rossoneri will win. Devil put (quite) well in direct clashes assuming a primacy arm in arm. But that mistake by Saelemakers in Naples …
Stefano Pioli now presses “play” automatically. There is even no need to update the sentence in which the Rossoneri coach repeats to exhaustion that “it will be a fight until the last day and there the chances of winning the Scudetto are more or less similar for all of them”. And he knows on the one hand it is the classic operation to lighten the pressure on the team and keep it on the rope at the same time, on the other hand it is becoming difficult not to agree with him.
Maybe the competitors are no longer five as a few weeks ago, but the first four tenants of the tournament jostle in seven square meters and therefore a super sprint is expected. Where the details can also count.
What the rules say
–
Specifically: the chances of two or more teams finishing on equal points is not such a pilgrim hypothesis. It is the so-called detached ranking. What then could happen? Let’s start with the regulation, which thus governs the arrival arm in arm of two clubs: in case of finishing on equal points, the final classification takes into account this preferential order. One: points towards direct comparisons. Two: goal difference in direct comparisons. Three: overall goal difference. Four: goals scored. Five: draw. In the event of an equal finish between three or more teams, a ranking is considered that takes into account only the results of the teams with the same points.
Parameters
–
So let’s start with direct clashes. Milan and Napoli are perfectly equal: a 1-0 win each. In the overall goal difference right now the bells are better: +30 against +26. In this context, Saelemaekers’ mistake at Maradona could theoretically be very heavy, as he devoured 2-0 in the final. Score that would have put the Devil in front of the bells. Milan okay instead with Inter (a draw and a win). Again a situation of parity with Juve (two draws), but in this case better goal difference for the Rossoneri: +26 against +19.
Considering instead the standings detached with all four teams involved, Milan commands with 9 points, then Napoli 8, Inter 6 and Juve 4. The only missing direct match is Juve-Inter, with the Nerazzurri who could grab the Devil. In that case, the goal difference would be considered in the direct matches between the four teams involved. A datum, therefore still to be written. Finally, let’s consider one more option: if the championship were to end with a tie between Milan, Inter and Napoli, the title would go to the Rossoneri (7, 5 and 4 points respectively).
