Eleven days to close the season, hitting the goals with which she opened up. To then finally be able to begin to clarify the future. They are the eleven days that await the Juventus from Sunday May 5, when they face Roma at the Olimpico, a Wednesday 15thwhen always in the capital he will challenge theAtalanta in the Italian Cup final. In the middle of, Sunday 12th, the match at the Stadium with the Salernitana already relegated. Of course, after the final the away match will remain Bologna and the last day at home against Monzabut they could just be engagements to be honored for the prestige and not tests to overcome to gain the vital qualification for the next Champions League (in any case guaranteed with 5 points in the last four matchdays). Provided, in fact, that in the three matches that it will play between 5 and 15 May Juventus finds its victory.
Juve and the key dates of the season finale
In the meantime, it is certain that those will be the ones milestone dates of the Juventus season finale, after yesterday Roma had asked the League to postpone its match with Atalanta from May 12th to 13th and consequently the Italian Cup final between the Nerazzurri and Bianconeri from the 15th to the 16th. This is because Thursday 9 Roma and Atalanta will be involved in the second leg of the Europa League semi-finals against Bayer and Marseille, but De Rossi’s men in Leverkusen and Gasperini’s in Bergamo: the Giallorossi were asking for the I postpone to recover from the trip. However, the officialisation of the times for the 36th matchday, with the confirmation of Atalanta-Roma at 8.45pm on Sunday 12 May, confirmed the League’s no to the Giallorossi’s request in the late afternoon.
A no due to the impossibility of postponing the Italian Cup final, for four reasons: playing it on Thursday 16th would have prevented Atalanta from asking for the next league match to be brought forward to Saturday 18th to better prepare for the possible Europa League final on Wednesday 22nd, perhaps against Roma; it would have been unfair towards the Atalanta and Juve fans who have already booked trains or hotels and – yesterday, the first day of sale – purchased 7000 tickets; it would have been impossible to change the entire organisation, from the visit of the team delegations to President Mattarella to the sustainability-oriented logistics studied for months with the municipality of Rome; it would not have been accepted by Mediaset, which has the TV rights.
