In the 33rd matchday of the Serie A season, both Inter and Napoli reached 71 points. Inter suffered a defeat against Bologna, while Napoli, under coach Conte, secured an away victory against Monza. Sports journalist Giuseppe Pastore points out that the last time two teams had the same points after 33 games was in the 2004/2005 season, when Milan and Juventus both had 73 points. Intriguingly, that season concluded without a Scudetto title being awarded.
