So what is at stake going into the final weekend?
00:03
Yeah, so we know the seven teams that are going to qualify for European competitions next season.
00:08
We mentioned the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League.
00:11
We just don't know which teams will qualify for which tournaments.
00:16
And getting that Champions League place is a huge deal because, as we discussed earlier,
00:20
the prize money falls off significantly to the Europa League and the Conference League.
00:25
So getting one of those top five spots is going to be huge.
00:30
Sixth place will get Europa League.
00:31
Seventh place will get Conference League.
00:33
Right now, you're looking at Nottingham Forest is in seventh.
00:37
Aston Villa are in sixth, but it's incredibly tight.
00:41
All those teams are within one or two points.
00:43
So the big game here, the only game between two teams that are in that top seven
00:49
is Chelsea and Nottingham Forest.
00:51
Chelsea are in, I want to say, fourth or fifth.
00:54
They're right on the cusp of the Champions League places.
00:56
If they draw or lose this game, they could fall out of that Champions League place
01:01
and end up in Europa League or Conference League.
01:03
Nottingham Forest are in seventh.
01:04
So right now, they're in the Conference League position.
01:06
They need to win to move themselves up, and they need a little bit of help as well.
01:11
So there's a lot on the line here in these final places, the final games.
01:14
Only Liverpool and Arsenal are confirmed into the Champions League.
01:18
The other five teams still have a lot of movement to go.
01:21
So Manchester City beat Bournemouth yesterday, which put them in third in a pretty strong position.
01:26
But they still have to take care of business on the final weekend.
01:29
So we're looking at a lot of that to come here.
01:32
Nottingham Forest have struggled over the last few weeks.
01:34
I think Chelsea should be able to secure that Champions League spot.
01:38
But there's a lot to watch and keep an eye on.
01:41
A lot of moving parts.
01:42
All right.
01:43
Let's put a bow on the Italian League.
01:44
I know that's wrapping up as well, Kyle.
01:46
Friday, there's, I know, a couple of games, big game coming up too.
01:50
What do you make of how this will come down to the wire?
01:53
There's a really interesting possibility here in the Italian League.
01:56
They just reintroduced a quirky rule about two or three years ago, and it may come into play here.
02:02
Most leagues have a number of tiebreak scenarios, right?
02:05
So you have goal differential, head-to-head record, whatever it may be.
02:09
And it's different for each league.
02:11
In the Italian League, it's head-to-head record.
02:12
And then the next tiebreaker, only for the title, not for any other place in the table,
02:18
is a one-game playoff.
02:20
Well, you've got Napoli leading Inter Milan by one point here.
02:24
If Napoli lose and Inter draw, they drew both their head-to-head games this season,
02:30
which means if they finish level on points, they could have a one-game playoff for the Italian League title.
02:36
That would be insane.
02:37
However, I don't expect that to happen.
02:39
And Napoli lead by a point, and they have the easier final game, Inter have to go to Como,
02:43
who have been very good over the last few months.
02:45
So I expect Napoli to win the title.
02:47
But let's all keep our fingers crossed for chaos in the Italian League, shall we?
