I also hope Thiago Motta can stay at Bologna next season of course, to give a good performance next season because Bologna will also play in the Champions League. But until now, at least the rumors that I have received seem to be that Thiago Motta is interested in other big teams for next season. At the same time,in reality Thiago Motta contract also ends on 30 June 2024 and of course, if Bologna still needs Thiago Motta then Bologna should extend Thiago Motta contract from now on. Because if not, of course it will be easy for other teams to bring in Thiago Motta next season, because those interested in appointing Thiago Motta to be head coach are also big teams and not mediocre teams.

I don't even know what Bologna officials are waiting for?    I bet Bologna's target at the beginning of the season wasn't this high. Thiago Motta made a really huge impact this season.

Carrying this team to the Champions League among really challenging opponents isn't an easy task in this league. He must have already earned the board's trust. If he doesn't plan to leave his job after the end of the season then they shouldn't let him go. They still have work to do with the help of Thiago Motta, like the Champions League.    While we all are talking about Xabi Alonso the most we shouldn't overlook the success of other managers as well.

The week 36 match between Atalanta and Roma is one of the most interesting matches, where the two teams will fight for tickets to the Champions League. In terms of consistency, Atalanta is slightly better than Roma at the moment, Atalanta also managed to reach the Europa League final and they also managed to reach the Coppa Italia final. It is clear that Roma is facing a very troublesome team, where Atalanta has a better chance of securing full points.

De Rossi has indeed made Roma better, but Napoli and Juventus have hindered their efforts to easily secure tickets to the Champions League, where now De Rossi fleet has to work extra hard if they want to get maximum results. Atalanta has good capital after successfully eliminating Marseille in the semifinals of the Europa League, and it is clear that their players have better self-confidence.

I didn't expect Atalanta to be able to reach the final of the Europa League and Coppa Italia, they performed well in the second half of the season, and they have a greater chance of securing tickets to the Champions League because they have 3 matches remaining. For Roma to qualify for the Europa League is actually not bad, De Rossi also deserves appreciation in his first season. Next season will be the best event for De Rossi, where he has a big chance of turning Roma into a team that is challenging for the Scudetto if he gets sufficient budget support from club officials.

Exactly, in theory he can do it without problems
Inter Milan Juventus Bologna Roma, there are exactly five.

It is clear that he must not make any mistakes against Atalanta, they are both on 60 points but Atalanta has a game in hand. So he has to win and hope that Atalanta doesnt win. Is hard.

The big possibility is that Atalanta will not play hard when hosting As Roma, why is that because Atalanta will have an important match, which next week will play the Coppa Italia and Europa League Finals compared to having to play desperately to win points to stay in in fifth position in Serie A, in my opinion it would be ridiculous if Atalanta wasted the championship title this season, even though they didn't get the Serie A title, at least the Coppa Italia or Europa title is far more sufficient than having to maintain fifth position.

Atalanta actually only needs a draw, they don't need to play hard to get into the Champions League zone, they are definitely aware of the conditions that Atalanta is experiencing this season even though they are in their best condition, that doesn't mean that Atalanta is underestimating As Roma's match in this feed, it looks like Atalanta will holding As Roma to a draw or Atalanta winning the match.

Juventus chances of qualifying for the champions league next season is at stake if they fail to get a win in their remaining matches, because Juventus is two points away from Bologna, and Atalanta is also a threat since they are on 60 points sitting on the 5th position with an outstanding match that if they win they win have a total of 63 points, making it three points below Juventus.

With Atalanta current form, it is obvious that they will win their outstanding match or win all the rest of their matches giving them a better chance to see if they can go to UCL next season if Juventus fails to win any of their matches. I will be so disappointed at Juventus if they fail to go to the champions league next season. Allegri needs to do something fast in order for him to secure a place in UCL next season.

that's right, at least even if Roma doesn't manage to get a ticket to the UCL and can only get a ticket to the European league again, then at least Roma won't meet a tough enemy like Leverkusen in the European League next season. Because Leverkusen has already pocketed a ticket to the UCL thanks to winning the title in the Bundesliga this season. But De Rossi seems to need more experience. And it would be great if De Rossi gets experience to fight in the UCL next season. So it will be a valuable experience for him. But to measure whether it is worth it or not, we can judge it by who can ultimately finish in the top 5 this season in Serie A. Is it Atalanta or Roma. And if Roma manages to get a UCL ticket then Roma might have the opportunity to take revenge on Leverkusen. 

I believe that even though Juventus is not in good form, it is likely that Juventus will still finish the season in the top 4. It's been a controversial and ambiguous season for Juventus. Some may blame Allegri and his players for their lack of championship ambition and modest achievements. While I think that with limited squad resources, the team achieved quite good overall results.

However, Juventus proved to be quite mediocre after going through 5 consecutive matches, only knowing about draws and losses in all competitions. Even though Juventus has just divided points with two big rivals Milan and Roma, fans still find it difficult to sympathize with this team because Juventus has not known the smell of victory for a long time. Salernitana will be a good prey for them to regain the smell of victory. Salernitana has been relegated so they have no motivation to fight Juventus. Furthermore, this team is still at a lower level and is not supported by history, so it would be very surprising if Juventus defeated the away team. As long as Juventus wins this match, I believe they will be safe in the rankings.

I have missed this information, it looks like you are right if there is an additional quota for 5th place you can get a UCL ticket, of course Atalanta and As Roma are fighting for UCL tickets next season, As Roma's defeat by Leverkusen means As Roma can return to focus on facing the remaining matches this season Of course, they want to make a clean sweep with a win, one of which is against Atalanta in the next few days, they have to be able to play as hard as possible to beat Atalanta because As Roma really needs a win.

As Roma only needs Atalanta to get bad results and make mistakes to give As Roma the opportunity to win a ticket to the UCL next season by finishing in the top 5, but if they fail As Roma will still get a ticket to the UEL next season, I think that is a competition that it's difficult to play in the UCL because in my opinion As Roma are not good enough to play in big European competitions like the UCL except in the UEL they have a lot of experience there even though sometimes they always fail in the final round of the UEL semi-finals or finals, the competition is getting tighter, but As Roma if playing next season in the UEL of course they will not meet Leverkusen again because Leverkusen plays in the UCL.  

it was a bad defeat, I saw the game, they started very aggressively with Lukaku who was already about to score a goal in the first 5 minutes
then they got exhausted because if you run and don`t score, you get tired and demoralized
now everything is more complex and Atalanta are a dangerous opponent

Predicting the Atalanta vs Roma match will indeed be very difficult to do. Because these two teams are both in improving performance recently. So it can be said that these two clubs both have almost the same strength. And this is also clearly illustrated by the rankings of the two which continue to change between 5th and 6th.

But currently tickets to the Champions League are not only obtained by teams ranked in the top 4. But the new provisions from FIFA seem to be that Serie A has an additional ticket so that 5th place will also get a ticket to UCL. So the current 6th place will get a ticket to the European League. So what we can say now is that Atalanta and Roma are fighting for tickets to UCL.

It was after I posted my comment that I remembered that yesterday was Europa League competition, and when I checked the result of Bayern Leverkusen vs Roma, I noticed the match ended 2-2, which disqualified Roma from reaching the Europa League finals. With the result of Atalanta against Marseille, Atalanta players will display a good performance when Roma visits them in Italy Serie A this weekend. Because of the rivalry between Roma and Atalanta for next season's Europa League competition spot, this match can also end in a draw.

If you look at the strategy and formation that De Rossi has overhauled at the moment, I am sure that AS Roma will be able to compete with Atalanta, and beat them even though they are playing at Atalanta's home ground. Because I see that currently AS Roma's performance and consistency look very good in their matches and are experiencing changes that can really make their supporters proud, the most important thing is that they can shift Atalanta from 5th position in the standings. Playing a draw with Leverkusen already looks very good for AS Roma, because Leverkusen this season looks very strong. So in my opinion AS Roma's elimination from the Europa League is not a bad thing but is a very good development for AS Roma's game in the future.

If we look at the standings, Juventus is not completely safe and so far the team that has been confirmed to qualify for the Champions League is the Milan duo. Juventus still have to finish their work until the end of the season and this is all due to their failure so far having mostly lost full points in the last few matches.

I think Juventus still has a chance to qualify for the Champions League even though in the end they can't maintain their current 3rd position. Because they could finish in 4th or 5th position which will also be an additional slot this season for the Champions League. What is clear is that against Salernitana they have to win and the rest against Bologna or Monza even if they draw they will still go next season.

Their chances of reaching the Champions League are still there at the moment, it just depends on their performance in the last 3 matches that will be faced because as you said, Roma's mentality was a little disturbed after losing to Leverkusen in their semi-final match yesterday and De Rosi must try his best to raise the spirit of the players because seeing Atalanta's schedule which is still quite busy now can be a good opportunity for Roma to stick to the top 5 at this time.

In addition, the match against Atalanta must also be prepared for next week because after all this is one of the good moments for them to be closer than the points because after all for now the difference they have is still very close and whoever cannot be consistent then they must be prepared to be eliminated in the race for the top 5.

Definitely a tough game to see, both teams played at semi finals and I feel like we are going to see something changing eventually if we keep this up. I know that it is going to be a little different in the end and I know that we are going to end up with a result that wouldn't really be considered as something that could change all that much.

Just two teams that are quite tired and that feels like we are not going to get anything that would be all that great to watch because neither team would be fresh enough to provide their very best. I am sensing that specially Roma, teams will end up being tired enough that maybe a 0-0 result would be quite possible and we are going to probably end up seeing that for sure. That is why I can't really see anything more at the moment to be fair.

Yes, it is true that Atalanta should not underestimate the Roma players because if they make the slightest mistake when facing Roma then of course the Roma players will be ready to take advantage of that mistake to put pressure on the Atalanta team because we know that both teams have almost equal performance and it could be said Both teams will play to the best of their ability in this match in order to win the match.
In this match, both teams really need points so there is a possibility that the match will end in a draw and even if they win it will only be by a narrow score.

The "first leg", the first game in Serie A ended 1-1 between Roma and Atalanta and as far as I know, if the teams have equal points, first thing that counts is the direct comparison of the two games. This means Roma essentially has to win this game as that would give them 63 points and Atalanta 60 points, which means the better goal difference would not count in the end if they end up with the same number of points when Atalanta wins the game they have in hand. Again, long story short, they have to win that game. If they don't win it, then it means that Atalanta has to win the game against Roma and one more game out of the remaining 3 games and Roma could not overtake them anymore.

Atalanta and Roma have same 60 points but Atalanta have better goal difference and they potentially can have 3 points more than Roma because they have one more match. If Roma lose, the fifth position will belong to Atalanta or Bologna but if Roma win, they will still need to compete with Atalanta for goal difference in remaining matches.

Three clubs Bologna, Atalanta and Roma have very near total points and goal differences so last three matches (four matches for Atalanta only), will change a lot in their rankings.

The Europa League final match is still far, not next week so Atalanta can firstly focus on their coming match with Roma in Serie A.

You're right, this game between Atalanta and Roma will be highly important. Sincerely, I'm leaning a bit toward Roma here. They played well even though they lost the Europa League. Isolating themselves from everything else in Serie A might be the restart they need. To make things even more difficult, Atalanta is still playing in the Europa League. Roma might be feeling tired there, especially since they need points to make sure they finish in first place. There isn't enough information to say who will win this match, but I think Roma will.
