It was foreseeable that Inter would win against Torino in this match, even if they had fielded the reserve team they would have won because everything was ready to party, given the recent Scudetto win. I'm not saying it was a combination match, but Torino had nothing more to ask of this championship and Inter were already champions of Italy. They practically did a catwalk. To be applauded instead was the pasillo de Honor by the Torino club who welcomed the Inter players as they entered the field

You say "to be fair". There are two things to consider about Roma: they have been doing amazing recently ever since Mourinho was gone and De Rossi took over. It will always be hard to dismiss Mourinho because he has had so much success as a coach, but being honest about Mourinho is part of the game. He failed big time and I am ok with saying that he sucked in the last few years.

Inter Milan really tried to maintain a consistent form till they were able to win the serie A title . It's obvious for Salernitana that they have been relegated they need to learn more when they go back to serie B so that when they have the opportunity to come to serie A again they will be more serious with matches. Between Sassuolo and Udinese, Udinese have more possibility of coming out from the relegation zone because they have 29 points whereas Sassuolo have 26 and Hellas Verona, Frosinone and Empoli have 31 points each of which any of them that loses a match and Udinese wins, automatically Udinese will be out of relegation.

Parma is likely to be promoted considering the fact that they are 5 points above Como who occupy the second position in the league table and it's just about 3 matches left but as for Como their promotion may not be certain because Venezia might come out second if Como drops points before the end of the season because Como has 68 points why Venezia has 67 points just a point difference and Venezia scores more goals than Como although they also concedes a lot of goals but if a team can score then possibility of winning will be there.
About the Four teams you predicted to make it to the UEFA Champions league next season, it will work according to your predictions because all of them will want to utilize their opportunity well and for club like Bologna they will do everything necessary to have a Champions league experience next season.

To be fair Roma got a tie as well so Bologna getting a tie wasn't really a big deal for them. If Roma won then they would be just within one game and that could be a risk but because Roma managed to get only a tie as well we end up with basically nothing serious there. I am sure that Bologna will manage to keep their fourth place, which I think was unexpected at the start of the season if you asked anyone.

In fact, if you switched 9th place Napoli with 4th place Bologna and just showed people at the start of the season, people would say that makes sense. But as we know now, Napoli had a terrible terrible season coming off a title, which is a big shocker and Bologna had a season unlike any season they had and managed to reach fourth place which is a great achievement for them.

They're in the Europa League and facing one of the fierce opposition ought to be huge challenge for them. AS Roma will continue to strive for important winnings and their new coach, they can surf in for incredible results this season. I know it's not going to be easy one but they're one of the cooperative team in Seria A and accomplishing their goal shouldn't be an issue for them. AS Roma have always been decisive when it comes to consistency in winning matches. It's really difficult for Roma but they have good odds of winning tough matches.

true. It was.
But now, it's being much more better.
As what I read from this news, Pharm was owned by the Krause Group, US Frim since February 2021. they also hoped to redesign the stadium, and it is now progressing. So, when Pharma returns to Serie A, the project of stadium redesign is also progressing and also almost finished.

It looks like they are indeed trying to rebuild it, not only in their facilities but also in their capabilities, especially as they are given the opportunity to return to Serie A. Their managing director, Luca Martines, said:

With this, they will be probably more ready again. But once again, Serie A is also not an easy league. Pharma must be more ready to enter the Serie A after qualifying from Serie B. They must struggle more in order to keep it up at the Serie A much longer, not being in relegation zone anymore.

I agree with what you said. But I think AS Roma has a better chance even though in the rankings Roma is 1 point behind Atalanta if they win against Fiorentina. After that they will face several matches and the two will meet next month. I think it is a match to determine who will stay in 5th place and get a ticket to the European league next season. Statistically, I prefer AS Roma because after being with De Rossi I see AS Roma as a solid team.

For Atalanta, I don't think they will push themselves too hard when playing the remaining matches in Serie A especially hunting for European league tickets clearly that would be a risk to the condition of their players. As we know, Atalanta is currently taking part in 2 other competitions that are no less important 2 matches in the Europa League and 1 match in the final Coppa, of course this is more important than matches in Serie A because there is the potential to win a trophy.

I'm not saying Atalanta look better, it's just that sometimes they are unpredictable I mean they lose against weak teams but win against stronger teams, from this we can conclude that Atalanta is a team that cannot be predicted. So if you want to bet on Atalanta, you should avoid betting on Serie A matches because they will prioritize matches in other competitions.

Torino is not a match for Inter Milan this season so I was not surprised when I saw the results of their match, especially since it happened at Inter Milan's home ground, which at this time actually no longer needs to win the match because Inter is already the champion team this season. But the victory will still not be in vain because it can also reflect that Inter Milan is truly strong and serious in building its performance this season from the start to the end of the season.

Of course that was the point I was trying to make because unlike season ago when Inter Milan was a bit poor in terms of there performance they decided to change there method on this season by improving so much that there performance has gotten above every other clubs on this season, so like you said they have actually gotten so far that in terms of there points they have already win the league but however they would need to step up there performance more against there next season because there performance this season cannot determine how they will perform on there next season because I think it may not going to be easy on them performing the way they did on this season.

Atlanta victory over Liverpool in the European League seemed to be the beginning of their resurgence this season, previously many underestimated they could beat Liverpool at that time but in fact we can see how Liverpool was humiliated by Atlanta at Anfield at that time, the victory over Liverpool made their motivation to play in the league increased and even Atlanta which was previously far below the European competition zone was slowly able to rise and continue Their positive trend until now, Atlanta is now only 2 points away from Roma who are in the Europa League zone and I think it will not be difficult for Atlanta to be able to take 5th place from Roma because indeed next week Roma will face a difficult match against Juventus.

Compared to Fiorentina and Lazio, of course, Atlanta has a better chance of being able to win Europa League tickets next season, now even Atlanta has a chance to end the season with the Coppa Italia trophy if they are able to beat Juventus in the final match later, besides that Atlanta even surprised us all with their ability to reach the semi-finals,  So if they are lucky, of course they can get the Europa League trophy and at the same time get a place in the Champions League next season through the path of winning the Europa League this season.

To some extent I had underrated Atalanta but, that changed a lot after I saw them play Liverpool in the Europa. They made Liverpool seem like a total different team, especially in the first league. I knew they would come with a more reserve style of play in the second leg and they did, had there schemes, archived it and held on to secure there place with aggregates.

Looking on to there place in the top 5 of serie A, they are a much better team than I can say for Fiorentina.

Players applauding the opponent winning the league is something common in football nowadays. Almost all professional football leagues in the world have this gesture. Unwanted incidents just sometime happen in the intense games between big rivals in important matches, Those never happen in a meaningless game like Torino vs Inter.

This game was played flawlessly because the result of the game won't mean anything for both team, therefore the players played freely without any pressure to win the game. Maybe each players had interest in scoring goal because it would be a positive thing for their statistisc history, which can be a good mark for their career.

It seems to me that Atalanta is already a favorite in the fight for 5th place (and a ticket to the Champions League) since they have a game in hand (although the opponent is not so simple - Fiorentina) and the remaining games are quite easy: Salernitana, Lecce, Torino. For Roma everything looks more complicated: Juvents, Genoa, Empoli. It seems to me that Atalanta will lose points in the game with Fiorentina, and Roma in the game with Juventus, and if Roma does not win against Atalanta in the head-to-head match, it will end the season in 6th place.

It was really nice to see Torino players applauding the champion players while entering the pitch. We really need this kind of things especially instead of unwanted incidents among the players or supporters. 

Torino were like aimless by the way. I wasn't expecting them to make big difficulties for Inter which was what really happened. I liked Hakan Calhanoglu's performance a lot in this game with 2 goals.    He is really one of the special players for Inter now. In addition to that he is having his most productive season in the Serie A in terms of scoring. With these goals the number has reached 13 goals. He already has 3 years to go on his contract and I think he would stay until the end of his contract as well.

It's obvious that Salernitana will be relegated from serie A this season. Salernitana acquires only 15 points from 34 matches which is very small compared to the its competitors that have been surpassing 30 points like empoli and other clubs above it. The difficult situation is also occurring with Sassuolo, which is also getting very minimum points this season after it was also passting. Sassuolo has suffered a poor result after missing three points against Fiorentina and it makes sassuolo has no chance anymore to leave from the relegation zone, it's really disappointed result delivered by sassuolo. This time, the gap between Sassuolo and the Empoli is growing wider. I strongly believe sassuolo has no chance anymore to leave from the relegation zone with remaining matches owned by the club. it looks impossible for sassuolo to surpass empoli with the current performance, it may be missing more points as the opposite result from sassuolo.

There are fewer matches remaining, but I doubt Sassuolo will be relegated this season after consistently missing three points. I strongly believe the snow ball impact is gonna happen with sassuolo. IMO, two teams will be relegated. Sassuolo and Salernitana have emerged as potential candidates for the Serie B.
It is a shameful performance from Sassuolo because the club has performed so poorly this season far from my expectation to see sassuolo to stay at the mid table, losing a large number of matches and got zero points in almost everygame has forced sassuolo to be relegated after this club was always able staying at the . Sassuolo has experienced significant declines since the middle of season and it's not stopping yet.

This club must address numerous issues owned by the club, it can go back to the serie a after next season.

It's true, Parma was declared bankrupt, at that time Parma tried to survive without an owner for several seasons. I didn't really follow Parma news/updates afterwards, but AFAIK, it is owned by a company from the United States. Returning to Serie A after falling to Serie D when it went bankrupt, i think this is amazing achievement. After all, Parma is a club that has a sweet history in the past and become one of the big four in Serie A. Lucky for them can survive few years without owner.

De Rossi is currently faced with a difficult situation, the pressure they are under is quite heavy to break into the top four, and Roma also have to divide their focus to other matches in the Europa League. Being 4 points behind Bologna can still be reduced by appearing consistent, but this really depends on Bologna next opponent. Roma failed to compete with Bologna directly, and in the last match Napoli again hampered De Rossi efforts to bring his squad to finish in the Champions League zone. Apart from that, Roma position itself is actually quite threatened by Atalanta, this is the toughest test for De Rossi since taking over the club from Jose Mourinho.

Inter milano was a better side in their match with Torino, despite that Torino struggle to get a draw in the first half of the game, inter maintain an impressive play in the second half, it earned them the 3 Points in the match, Torino use to be be a good side and an obstacle to many big teams in the Italian serie A but I can tell you that this season has not been very smooth for them, though inter is not their match this season but generally Torino has flopped.
I somuch congratulate inter for this winning, I think with this singular act of theirs, the league will be theirs soon, a good team remains a good team any time any day.
