Gian Piero Gasperini spoke about Napoli and Aurelio De Laurentiis live on TV after the victory against Roma. Atalanta, in fact, is just three points away from qualifying for the next Champions League and has to play two finals in ten days’ time, but the coach responded to a question from Fabio Caressa about the Neapolitan club. “It was 2011, then I went to Inter. De Laurentiis has always shown respect for me, it’s nothing new. Future? I don’t have time at the moment, I’m thinking about this season which is already extraordinary, but it’s not over because we haven’t done anything yet.”
Now it’s official: Bologna will play the Champions League. On Monday after Juventus there will be the catwalk with the open-top bus. Incredible goal achieved by Thiago Motta’s boys at the end of a practically perfect season.
On the day in which Carlo Ancelotti’s Real celebrates its 36th La Liga title in the streets of Madrid, Diego Simeone’s Atletico is blocking participation in the next Champions League thanks to the Argentine world champion Rodrigo De Paul (formerly Udinese), who with a magic in the 84th minute (chest stop and volleyed finish) he put his signature on the 1-0 against Celta Vigo, beaten at the ‘Cívitas Metropolitano’ in the match valid for the 35th matchday.
After eliminating Roma in the Europa League semi-final, Bayer Leverkusen achieved their 50th consecutive useful result, prevailing on the Bochum pitch on the 33rd matchday of the Bundesliga. Xabi Alonso’s men prevailed with a 5-0 result thanks to goals from Schick and Boniface in the first half and from Adli, Stanisic and Grimaldo in the second half.
