Only one matchday remains in Serie A, and the battle for the Champions League will be the main attraction of a thrilling end to the season. Sunday morning’s matches have left Milan and Roma in a very favorable position to seal their place in Europe’s top club competition next week.
Milan claimed a 1-2 win over Genoa at Marassi thanks to goals from Nkunku (50') and Athekame (87'), making Vázquez’s late goal (87') pointless.
The rossoneri now have 70 points and sit in third place: to secure Champions League qualification, they only need to beat Cagliari. Roma have the same number of points, but are behind on the head-to-head record.
A Roma side that dominated the derby against Lazio thanks to a spectacular Mancini is back in the Champions League places, taking advantage of Juventus’ home defeat to Fiorentina.
With a win in the final round away to already-relegated Verona, it will be Champions League. Mission almost accomplished for Gasperini.
Juve on the brink of collapse
Absolute drama: Juventus lost a very poorly played match in which Fiorentina deservedly came out on top at the Allianz Stadium. The 0-2 was decided by Ndour’s first-half goal and Mandragora’s incredible masterpiece in the second.
Juventus, who were booed off amid deafening whistles at the Juventus Stadium, now find themselves outside the top four with 90 minutes left in the season. In fact, all the other contenders won, and the bianconeri are two points behind Milan and Roma, level with Como.
Napoli secure their place in the Champions League
Antonio Conte’s side gave Pisa no chance and took the win. The partenopei controlled the match from the opening minutes, while the nerazzurri fans, despite relegation, responded with a spectacular choreographed display and the message: “This stand does not go down.”
Could Como pull off a miracle?
Como managed to break down Parma’s wall and keep their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League alive, as they are only two points behind with one round left in the championship.
