MILAN (AP) - Inter Milan will have to wait to celebrate a fourth straight Serie A title after drawing 2-2 with Chievo Verona on Sunday.
Jose Mourinho's team went into the match knowing that a win coupled with Juventus beating AC Milan in the late match would secure the championship.
However, Chievo had other plans, and equalized twice to secure a point as it fights to stave off relegation.
Inter now leads with 78 points, while Milan was second with 70, Juventus third on 66 and Fiorentina fourth with 64 ahead of the late match.
Hernan Crespo gave Inter the start it wanted when he put them ahead after three minutes, but Chievo was level by halftime following Michele Marcolini's long-range shot.
Striker Mario Balotelli put the defending champions back into the lead midway through the second half, but Luciano equalized with a volley in the 73rd.
Fiorentina appears set to take the fourth Champions League spot after a 2-0 win away over Catania. Goals from Stevan Jovetic in the first half and Luciano Zauri in second-half injury time put Cesare Prandelli's side three points ahead of Genoa, who could only draw 1-1 with Atalanta.
Also Sunday, it was; Cagliari 2, AS Roma 2; Lecce 1, Napoli 1; Siena 1, Palermo 0; Torino 1, Bologna 0.
