(Photo by Maurizio Lagana/Getty Images) | Getty Images The final two weeks of the 2025-26 season are looking to be just as they were 12 months ago. Some of that has to do with Juventus. Some of that has to do with the clubs around Juventus in the Serie A table. But put it all together and you’ve got the makings of an absolute bonkers final two weeks of the season in which the live table is going to get a whole lot of activity from more than just a couple of clubs. For Juventus, though, it remains simple: Win two more games and you’re in the Champions League. That is because Saturday night’s 1-0 win over relegation battlers Lecce was important if not all that impressive. Juve got three big points and, with the other results of the weekend, finished Matchday 36 in third place and are now in the driver’s seat even more than they already were. Two wins is all that’s needed to get into the Champions League. Easier said than done, but it’s not all that difficult to do the math at this point.
