Inter pegged back by Torino as Serie A title charge hits bump in road

SPORTS 26.04.2026

Inter Milan's charge to the Serie A title was held up on Sunday after throwing away a two-goal lead to only draw 2-2 at Torino, as Como kept up their bid for Champions League football.

Leading just after the hour mark through two headed goals from Marcus Thuram and Yann Bisseck, Inter looked set to stroll to victory in Turin.

But Giovanni Simeone got Torino back into the match out of nowhere in the 70th minute when he dinked a finish over Yann Sommer, and Nikola Vlasic earned the hosts a point from the penalty spot nine minutes later.

Sunday's draw should only be a bump in the road for Inter who will secure a 21st league crown if they beat Parma at the San Siro next weekend.

With four games left in the season, Inter are 10 points ahead of their nearest challengers Napoli, who won the Scudetto last year.

Cristian Chivu's side will be heavy favourites to seal the deal next weekend in front of their home support as Parma are a team with nothing left to play for this season.

Earlier, Como won 2-0 at Genoa and put pressure on Juventus in the race for a top four finish.

Headed goals in each half from Tasos Douvikas and Assane Diao gave Como a deserved victory at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris and moved the ambitious lakeside outfit back into fifth, two points behind fourth-placed Juve.

Juventus face AC Milan at the San Siro in Sunday's headline fixture, with both teams trying to secure a place in Europe's elite club competition.

The pressure will be on Juve as Roma, in sixth, are level on 61 points with Como whose win was a return to form after a difficult few weeks.

Cesc Fabregas' team were at one point favourites for the final Champions League spot but a single point from their previous three matches allowed Juve to sneak in.

Como, who have never played in European competition, also suffered a painful elimination from the Italian Cup at the hands of Inter Milan on Tuesday.
