And, now, the Rome he seriously risks being mocked by the Champions League. The knockout of Bologna De Rossi’s team gets into trouble against Genoa in the Friday match valid for the last day of Serie A, with all that remains to do is cheer against Atalanta.
Rome, Champions League at risk: Bologna’s defeat makes the Giallorossi tremble
To land in Champions League ranked sixth Rome he just has to hope that Atalanta doesn’t finish in the top four. This scenario, in fact, would not free up the slot for the Giallorossi, who would therefore be forced to settle for the Europa League. The ranking shows Juventus and Bologna at 68While the people from Bergamo are fifth at 66. The team of Thiago Motta ended the season with the defeat against Genoa, while the Bianconeri will play today against Monza. The Nerazzurri, however, still have two matches to play, both at home: tomorrow against Toro and on 2 June against Fiorentina for the recovery of the 29th matchday.
De Rossi forced to owl the Goddess to hope for the Champions League
The hope, therefore, is that Atalanta ends up behind Juventus and Bologna, because, being holders of the Europa League, a further place would be available in favor of the Italians for the next and renewed edition of the Champions League. Gasperini’s team, just two points behind the Emilians, has two opportunities to put the arrow on the damage from the opponentsso all that remains for the Giallorossi people is ‘owl’ the Goddess and cheer for Turin and Fiorentina. In the event of finishing on equal points with Thiago Motta’s eleven, the Orobic team would be penalized by direct clashes. And it would be fifth in the separate rankings even if Atalanta were to finish with the same points as Juventus and Bologna.
What happens if Fiorentina wins the Conference League
If the Florentine should win the Conference League against Olympiacos and Atalanta does not finish in the top four, Italy will have six teams in the Champions League, two in the Europa League (Lazio and Fiorentina) and one in the Conference (Turin or Naples). If, however, Atalanta finishes in the top four, then there will be five clubs in the Champions League, then three in the Europa League (Roma, Lazio and Fiorentina) and the ninth in the Conference.
