Empoli was not certain of beating Roma to escape relegation, but the fear of being relegated made them put in their best to beat Roma and escape relegation. I know Empoli fans will be very happy with their win against Roma because they will remain in the Serie A league next season. Empoli fans will celebrate more than Inter Milan fans, who won the Serie A title this season because they didn't expect they would escape relegation this season.
It's true that Empoli fans must be very happy with this result. Because next season Empoli will still be able to play in Serie A because of this victory. And this means that Empoli has managed to survive for 3 consecutive seasons in Serie A. Because they have been promoted to Serie A since the 2021 season. But in those 3 seasons, Empoli was always on the verge of being relegated. Because they are always ranked 14th and below. Maybe they should make better preparations next season. Because if they continue like now then Empoli will no longer be able to survive much longer in Serie A. because I'm sure next season everything will be even more difficult.

Empoli put on a very good match. In this match, many spectators were very enthusiastic because up until the final minute, Empoli was still able to score a goal and m'baye niang managed to score a goal in the final minute, ultimately making Empoli win this match. It is true that with this victory, Empoli managed to survive the relegation zone and still have the opportunity to show their skills again in the Serie A league next season.
Empoli was lucky enough to be able to win their last match at home at the end of this season when they hosted AS Roma and kept themselves safe from the relegation zone. And the Empoli fans themselves are of course very happy with this because apart from being happy to see their favorite team win directly at home, they are also happy because they will not experience relegation at the end of this season. So they can still play in Serie A next season with a much better performance than what they showed this season.
Empoli was not certain of beating Roma to escape relegation, but the fear of being relegated made them put in their best to beat Roma and escape relegation. I know Empoli fans will be very happy with their win against Roma because they will remain in the Serie A league next season. Empoli fans will celebrate more than Inter Milan fans, who won the Serie A title this season because they didn't expect they would escape relegation this season.

This is football and surprises I meant to happen during the ending part of every season so Empoli winning Roma is not suspicious at all because they fought so hard to win and left the relegation zone so it is a good achievement because had it been they were relegated it would have taken them so many seasons to come back to the serie A and since Roma have already qualified for Europa league next season there was no need for them to stress themselves again so they didn't put more pressure in the game that was why Empoli defeated them.
Inter, Milan, Juventus, Atalanta and Bologna will compete in the Champions League next season, while Roma, who ended the season in 6th place, qualify for the Europa League. Roma are the only team to qualify for next season's Europa League from Serie A, but there is every possibility that some of the teams that qualified for the Champions League will also drop into the Europa League because they failed in the group stages.

Of course, it is too early to predict how these teams will compete in European competition next season when they will prepare themselves and their squad well. Bologna is certainly not one of the strongest from Serie A in the Champions League compared to the other 4 teams, so I wouldn't be surprised if Bologna would fail in the group stage compared to the other four team.

I still expect Napoli to be able to compete at the top next season, but they have been under a lot of pressure so far. Napoli must have lots of good players and they must also try to bring in a great coach, of course that is not an easy job to realize.

Smart is not enough, there must be skills
Atalanta will play a game that will decide if they are going to be third or fourth, which I feel like isn't really all that bad, I think that could work very well for them. The reality is that we are not going to end up with anything major, we are going to probably see Atalanta be third and they are going to be above Juventus.

This would be the nail in the coffin for Juventus, they already had a bad season, third place would be at least what they can do, they got the cup which is a great achievement but they wanted to finish at least third, being fourth behind Atalanta is not acceptable for the fans, which is going to really hurt the chances for Juventus next year as well, they will play a bit more games and get tired.
They need a win to be in 3rd place in the standings, and if they look at the opportunities that exist, they are very capable of winning the match, because they will also play as hosts in this match.

Atalanta will probably be motivated to be in 3rd place, and they also want to give their fans a win for the last time this season. So they will maximize this match in my opinion.

But this is a match that is already indecisive for Fiorentina, so I don't think they will be serious in this match. They will probably focus more on their final match in the Conference League, because there they still have quite an open opportunity.

Serie A is below the EPL and La Liga in terms of popularity. But in terms of the quality of play on the field, I think it's the same.  It's just that teams from Italy are not as rich as teams from the Premier League and La Liga. In fact, many are experiencing financial problems, so teams from Serie A rarely buy expensive players like teams from the Premier League and La Liga do. But teams from Serie A always succeed in maximizing a player's performance to its maximum level. I don't know how, but it always happens.

And maybe in the next season Serie A clubs will again become a concern in the Champions League like last season when many teams from Italy qualified for the quarter-finals in the UCL. Unfortunately this season the teams from Serie A cannot survive in the UCL. But Atalanta made teams from Italy proud again because Atalanta managed to become champions in the European League.
That's right. But in the past there were times when Serie A was more popular than the Premier League and Laliga. I still remember at that time, even the markets in my country were always full of traders selling jerseys from Italian teams. Maybe the popularity of Serie A has declined since the 2000s. Because when I was little, the teams from Serie A were much better known to everyone. Because many legendary players have emerged from Italian clubs in the past. And I think these times could happen again in the future. But for now I feel confident that LaLiga will become more popular. And I may not really follow Laliga but I see a lot of great young players there who will become very famous in the future. And this will attract the attention of all football fans. Meanwhile, in the Premier League, perhaps its popularity will not grow as much. because I haven't seen many extraordinary things lately.

For Serie A they are currently only losing in terms of prestige because compared to the EPL and La Liga it is certain that Serie A is currently below them but in terms of actual quality until now they are still good enough to be in competitions such as the Champions League or Europa League and indeed even though this season for the Champions League they have declined slightly but their Europa League is the champion with Atalanta who unexpectedly managed to win with a landslide score over Leverkusen which even though they are very favorite this season.

But it cannot be denied that in terms of prestige they are still far behind because however for now even though Serie A is one of the best competitions in Europe but when talking about popularity they are still very inferior when compared to the EPL and La Liga because indeed for now the mecca of Europa in terms of popularity, the EPL wins hands down and La Liga where Barcelona and Madrid are still a club that is very difficult to reach in terms of popularity.

Serie A has been upgrading its quality every season. It's good for Serie A to have the teams keeps appearing in the last stage of european competitions. Roma won the Conference Cup seasons ago, Inter was Champions League finalist last season, and this season Atalata won Europa League trophy. Serie A now has the highest coefficient score that makes five teams can participate in Champions League.

What is clear is that Empoli was very lucky because they managed to get out of the relegation zone at the last moment of this season. Actually I bet on Roma and several clubs who are favorites in the last match of the season. And everything disappointed me because many matches ended in draws. For example, Milan were held to a draw by Salernitana, Lazio were held to a draw by Sassuolo and Inter Milan were held to a draw by Verona. But I'm not surprised because things like this often happen at the end of the season.

Currently there is only one match left, namely the postponed match Atalanta vs Fiorentina. This match will be difficult to predict. I hope both teams score lots of goals in this match to make the match not boring. And after this match everyone will focus more on the player transfer window which will open next month.

I didn't watch this game but yeah it was a real surprise and Empoli managed to stay away from relegation, their main competitor Frosinone lost in the last match so they have to be relegated. As we expected AS Roma have secured tickets to the Europa League so whatever the result of the last match has no impact, I think in this case AS Roma is just helping Empoli to stay in Serie A.
Serie A only has one match left between Atalanta vs Fiorentina, previously this match was postponed because both teams had other matches in other leagues. At least this is a sign that Serie A is a little better because Serie A has 2 teams that reached the final in the European/conference league. Atalanta has won the Europa League then it's Fiorentina's turn.

I was very surprised by the result of this match.   Empoli is a relatively weak team.   I didn't think Roma would lose against such a team.   I thought the match was not a very important match for Roma. So maybe Roma can play for a draw in this match. However, Roma lost the match by 2-1.

The match was a do or die match for EMpoli.   The team was able to get out of the relegation zone as a result of winning this match. Empoli team could not qualify for next season's Serie A if they could not get 3 points in this match. Empoli players fought hard to win this match.   Empoli played well, at the same time I would say the team was very lucky.   Empoli scored their second goal in the 90th minute and won the match.

Clamorously between Udinese Frosinone and Empoli, Empoli was the team that risked the most because of the difficult challenge that awaited them against Roma, but during the match you could see that Empoli wanted at all costs to stay in Serie A and managed to win this difficult match, to pay the price was Frosinone who lost in turn the direct clash against Udinese. I would say that they were two really beautiful and exciting matches but unfortunately someone had to be relegated to Serie B and I feel sorry for Frosinone who seemed to be the one who had the best chance of staying in Serie A

The last match between Roma and Empoli were highly significant and probably suspicious. Empoli was on the verge of relegation if it drew or lost against Roma. But it turned out that this on the verge of relegation team defeated the team that has qualified for Europa cup. It was a sad result for Frosinone who got to relegate again to lower league while they were only promoted the last season. There's now only one match left in Serie A which would probably bring the Europa cup winners Atlanta to third place replacing Juventus.

Yes, in conditions like that, Empoli inevitably has to fight as hard as they can to get out of the relegation zone, while As Roma seems to be playing like they no longer have any motivation after failing to catch the UCL zone. So it is possible that Empoli's victory is purely the result of their hard work and struggle, considering that as you said, if they go down to Serie B it will be difficult for them to go back up to Serie A, therefore this match is a crucial match for them. However, in Serie A, there are always those who are suspicious of match fixing or whatever it is called because Serie A has experienced scandals like this several times, so it is natural that many people suspect that this match deliberately allowed Empoli to win so that they could stay in Serie A next season.

However, what is clear is that Empoli's success in remaining in Serie A next season is worthy of aspirations, they fought until the end of the match and the victory they achieved was also very dramatic.

The result of the match wasn't suspicious. It's a normal for a team on the verge of relegation to fight with everything they have to avoid relegation and remain in the top league.
What was suspicious was how big Roma's odd was. It was like the bookies knew Roma was going to lose. How was Roma given a 3+ odd against Empoli? Roma still had a chance to qualify for the Champions League (hoping on Atalanta to drop point), so they still had something to play for and their odd shouldn't have been so high.

Btw, Roma sold me a false dream. I saw how both Roma and Atalanta's odd were big so I decided to be greedy, it paid off with Atalanta but Roma lost. It was a sad experience for me because I had hope when Roma equalised 1-1 in the first half.

The match against Roma is a match of life and death for Empoli, previously I thought Roma would be able to win the match easily considering Empoli position which is currently at the bottom of the Serie A standings, but in fact Empoli was able to surprise Roma in this match when the match was only 13 minute,  Empoli hard struggle to survive in Serie A of course means they can now rejoice after being confirmed that they will remain in Serie A next season, I think, after atlanta beating torino in othert match, of course Roma no longer have the motivation to win the match because it is certain that they will fail to play in the UCL next season.

De Rossi main target this season, which was imposed by Roma management, was of course to get Roma to qualify for the Champions League next season, but unfortunately he failed to do so, Indeed Roma was once the favorite to get a place in the Champions League next season after Atlanta won the European League, but it was a dream ,this actually had to disappear after Atlanta didn't want to be outside the top 4 this season, I think that with Roma failing to get to the Champions League next season, of course De Rossi future will start to be threatened even though they managed to get 1 European League ticket.

Atalanta is going to play the last match against Fiorentina. looking at the form that Atalanta is in right now I think we can easily expect that they are going to win that match. of course, if they win that match they will finish ahead of Juventus. I think this season has already been pretty good for them. Especially because they have been able to win the Europa League title. And if they are able to finish ahead of Juventus it is going to be another good achievement for them.

If we talk about Juventus, almost nothing is right for them right now, isn’t it? Losing points, losing players because of ban, everything seems to be going to the opposite direction of them. we can easily say that the glory days for Juventus is over and right now they are on kind of survival mode even though it may seem like they are fine. I don’t think they will be able to compete for the Italian league title in the next season as well.

This season was a very competitive season for all clubs except Inter who started season a the lead and remained like that till the end of the season. The rest clubs were faced with some difficulties but they were able to overcome it especially the clubs on the 2nd to 6th position on the table. Atalanta was able to surprise everyone with their marvelous victory as champions of Europa this season.

The only club that was unable to put themselves back to qualify for the European competition is Napoli. They were the defending champions of Scudetto but they performed very poorly, and could not secure a place in any of the European competition due to change of their coach after last season victory. Maybe Napoli needs to replace their coach with a new one for a better achievement next season.

The Serie A regulator need to manage their marketing aspects to attract more viewers. The big teams have worldwide fanbases, this can be an opportunity to generate more revenue. Lately, Serie A teams have financial problem that hinders them to develop their squad to stay competing at the highest level. Serie A has potential to be back to the most competitive and attractive league like it used to be in the past.

What happens even if they lose? They will still make it to the Champions League Competition at the end of the day. As for As Roma, they will be playing the European Europa League Competition next season and there's nothing more to say about it. Asides that when you take a proper look at the table, you'll see that they have one game against Florentina to play a win or draw will even keep them above As Roma.
Atalanta has done well this season, the last time I followed them this good was way back 2020.

It seems like five clubs from the Italian Seria A Competition will be in the Champions League Competition next season, Yes? I don't think we will see them.
Daniel De Rossi had a good start but not finishing strong. He is already giving same vibes and energy Xabi Alonso gave me last season. Let's see what he achieves next season with this players.

Nothing is happening to Atalanta no matter their results are from now on just like you said. However for Roma to qualify for the Champions League as well Atalanta needed to stay below the 4th position.

But Atalanta beat Torino and secured the 4th position already. This means Roma are moving on with a Europa League ticket. But it isn't Atalanta's fault of course. Roma needed to get better results on the final weeks. Instead they lost so many points which caused them to miss their Champions League chance.

Yeah there are 5 teams going to the Champions League from this league. When it comes to De Rossi his future is uncertain as the agreement has been until this summer. But I hope they extend his contract by one year.  Roll Eyes

Empoli played very excellent and won the match against Roma . Roma players played with full confidence and they did hard work but they could not win the match against Empoli . Empoli team was a victorious team they won by doing 2 goals while Roma did only one goal . Empoli made 17 shorts and in comparison Roma hit only 15 shorts and Empoli shorts on target was 7 and there was also low performance from Roma side with 3 . The passes of Empoli was 252 but passes of Roma was 550.The possessions of Empoli team was 32 percent and in the comparison,the possessions of Roma team was 68 percent. But in the end Empoli won with good standard. I enjoyed that match very much and no one will forget this match .

Yes you are right Napoli last home game against Lecce was a disappointing end to season. They had many chances to score but didn't take them. This has been problem for Napoli all season. Game ending in a draw was not surprising, since both teams have drawn many games. On the other hand, Atalanta's win over Torino was great way to end the season following their big win against Bayer Leverkusen. They will try to finish in the top three or may be four in their last league game which would be a great accomplishment.
We have come to realized there's more compliment to give out and be in the best position. Seria A is challenging and only the consistent strong clubs are able to match up energy with the club. Napoli will fixed using the break. However they're closing on completing paper works with Anthonio Conte who's also one of the spectacular coaches to handle. He's experienced and have managed several elite clubs where he had succeeded with winning titles.

There was some huge variance for most of the clubs. Inter Milan was brutally solid, no need to talk about that any further. But at the same time I thought Juventus Turin might have a solid comeback from the disaster last season and for a long time it looked very good for them, but then suddenly they performed like trash.

AC Milan was similarly unstable. They had some great phases with many wins in a row or many games without a loss, but I think as soon as they realized that the Serie A championship could not be won anymore, players are calming down and are probably less excited about the games to come.

Bologna is the surprise of the season to me. They haven't only qualified for the Champions League, but they have also beaten Inter Milan in the Coppa.

And I am sure everyone agrees that the disappointment of the season was Napoli. I don't even know whether this was more like an exception or whether it was that one great season and they will now get lost in the middle of the table as a mediocre team.
