Wow! If that is the case, Atalanta has already qualified for next season's UEFA Champions League competition. There is a possibility that Atalanta will still finish in the top four of the Serie A league this season. If Atalanta can win their next match in Serie A, they will enter fourth place in the Serie A table. Either Bologna or Juventus will drop points in their next match because they will play against each other in the league. And if Bologna vs Juventus ends in a draw and Atalanta beats Torino, Atalanta will enter the third position in the Serie A table.

With 6 point difference and only 2 remaining matches, Atalanta have 99% to appear in Champions League next season and they will try to get it after this weekend. If they succeed with this task this weekend, they will fully prepare for Europa League final match with Leverkusen so no reason to don't play with their best and get only one more point to achieve their target one earlier week.

I see Roma and Atalanta are similar in quality and it's not true to say Roma will struggle in Champions League while Atalanta will not.

Roma will have to win their remaining matches and defend their sixth position against Lazio. After getting some bad results recent matches, now Roma are no longer safely against Lazio with only 1 point difference.

If they successfully secure their position, they will play in Europa League a third season consecutively and I believe they will not feel happy with failure to get a chance to play in Champions League again.

I would say the Atalanta team has already qualified for the Champions League. The team is now fifth in the table. Atalanta team is 5 points ahead of Roma. The Roma team is not in good form right now. They have lost points in their last three matches. Meanwhile, Atalanta are in very good form. So it is highly unlikely that Atalanta will lose the last two matches and Roma will win both matches.

I think Roma will be happy to qualify for the Europa League. Because Roma has very little chance of surviving in a competitive platform like the Champions League. So Roma will fight for the Europa League title next season as well. Moreover, the performance of the team is quite messy at the moment. It is very important to make the team more stable.

I think Atalanta will definitely qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season, now they are ranked 5th and for this season there are 5 teams that qualify from Serie A and also Atalnta is 6 points ahead of Roma who is ranked 6th so there is no possibility again for Roma to be able to catch Atalanta.
As for the competition for UEFA Champions League tickets for next season, I think everything is over, there are 5 teams that have confirmed getting these tickets, namely Inter MIlan, AC Milan, Bologna, Juventus and Atalanta.

I agree with you @Mayor of Ogba that Atalanta's win against Lecce have given then possibility of finishing in the top four and qualify for Champions league next season because if we take a look at Atalanta's dedication in winning matches and that of Juventus you will see that Atalanta is more interested in qualifying for the champions league because they are not certain to win the Europa league and automatically qualifying so they will give their best to make sure they qualify and as for Juventus match against Bologna, the match will be difficult for Juventus to win Bologna since Bologna have become so strong this season so the chances of Atalanta qualifying is higher than that of Juventus.

You are right. Atalanta were naturally favorites against Lecce. And as expected Atalanta team won the match. A narrow 2-0 win for the Atalanta team. Lecce were not in good form either. So even though the match was Lecce's home match, Atalanta was the favorite in this match. Atalanta's performance was very composed from the start of the match. Lecce created several good attacking opportunities but failed to score until the end.

But I am worried about how Atalanta will perform against Leverkusen. Leverkusen is a strong team. A smart match strategy is essential to beat this team. It is impossible to win against Leverkusen if the match strategy is not good.

I think Milan has already given up this season, they couldn't get through Torino's defense to equalize goal after conceding three goals in the first half of the game. To be honest with you, I thought Milan would make a comeback in the second half because it would be a surprise if they lost against Torino, who were at the 10 position and moved to the 9 position after securing 3 points against AC Milan. Milan ended up another season trophyless, despite that their performance was good enough to participate in any competition this season.


I don't understand Atalanta games this season because when I think their performance is down, the next thing is to surprise me by winning their games. After Atlanta lost the Coppa Italian to Juventus, I thought their performance was getting weak, I didn't know that they planned to beat Lecce in their home ground to get their ticket among the next team to play in the next Champions League. On the other hand, Juventus has already qualified for the next Champions League after drawing in their last game against Salernitana, the one point helped them to qualify after being absent this season. So I don't think we should worry about Juventus losing their Champions League position since number one to 5th are qualifying for the Champions League this season.

Two days later, afte Juventus beat Atalanta in the Coppa Italia. Allegri was fired by Juventus without even being noticed before. Allegri's hard work meant nothing to Juventus after he brought coppa italita trophy to the old lady. The club is looking for a new hire. Given that we have a winner this season, the remaining games in serie A aren't particularly interesting to me caused by less teams will play seriously in the upcoming games.

Atalanta has not yet secured a UCL spot. Serie A now has five spots in the UCL, which is great because it allows the club to earn money by participating in the competition but atalanta's position is not that safe.

Atalanta needs one more point to secure its UCL spot at this time. As Roma may still be able to get 6 points.

With only two matches remaining, one point is sufficient for Atalanta. Atlanta will play two ez matches.


1. vs torino
2. vs fiorentina

Im expecting atalanta to farm at very least 1 point from those matches.

The manager of AC Milan now has no more excuses of not being sacked at the end of the season honestly. Stefan Pioli, Yes? I don't know why they're so relaxed simply because they feel like they have successfully qualified for the Champions League Competition for next season. No AC Milan fan would be happy watching them lose that way. Maybe they will try, I guess it's two more games until the league comes to an end.

Three solid goals and the best of them all was that of AC Milan former player Rodriguez who scored that stunning goal, it was such a beautiful goal to see as. Those two headers were solid too, I just can't keep calm with that last goal as it kept me on my toes.

Atalanta also was seen winning two goals to nil as they went ahead to keep clean sheets too. Scamacca had impact in the game yesterday, scoring and assisting that beautiful goal with a great pass. Top finishing from Ivan Illic as he has the composure and confidence to out that one pass the goalkeeper.

What happened to Ac Milan was the same thing that happened to Juventus, ever since the old ladies had that idea of not getting to Inter Milan they just lost focus in whatever they was doing and it made them start losing games their form dropped so fast, before they could know it things became bad to the extent that their points could not save them in the top 4 and the could fall out if care is not taken.
In the case of AC Milan it was expected only thing is that they have already sealed that position of finishing 2nd on the log so nothing much to struggle for since the league has already come to an end. I can't imagine Torino beating AC Milan in a situation where they (Ac Milan) needed a win to stay 2nd or 3rd and they threw it away, no it wasn't happening and it will be a battle they're ready to go all out to get a positive result, I'll say it was a wonderful performance (all season) coming from AC Milan and who knows they could win the league title next season. About Torino, looking at going to any Europe competition I don't think Torino could get a ticket in this campaign, it should be next season.

I didn't say that Atalanta has qualified for next season's UEFA Champions League; what I said was that the win Atalanta had against Lecce has given them hope of qualifying for next season's UEFA Champions League because Juventus is leading them by one point and there are two remaining matches for the Serie A season to end. For a long time, Juventus has been struggling to win their matches in the Serie A, which has put them in this condition, and if they continue with such performances, Atalanta might overtake them in the Serie A table. Juventus next match is against Bologna, and they might likely drop points against Bologna, which will give Atalanta an advantage to enter the top four of the Serie A table if they win their match in Serie A.

Yes it was almost unexpected by me after seeing the news confirmed, this is indeed the time for Allegri to leave because he can no longer provide the achievements expected by Juventus management so that the Coppa Italia alone is considered worthless to keep Allegri as coach because that is not the most expected, Now Juventus will receive a new breath with a new strategy with a variety of new things by Thiago Motta for next season.

The match against Bologna is a match of pride in my opinion with the coach who will replace him, proving who is better than each other as the last sign of Allegri showing himself as Juventus coach who is not worse if he can beat Bologna, speaking against Monza, I think it's confident enough to beat him.

Some rumors are emerging regarding a possible meeting between the Bologna coach (Tiago Motta) and the team's sporting director for next week.

Those who thought that he was already the coach at Juventus might have to think again.

Will Bologna be able to convince Tiago to stay?
He has everything to lose if he remains in the current team, it will be difficult for him to repeat a year like this one.

But now the fundamental question is, if Tiago doesn't arrive, who will come as coach?

Yes, maybe this is also the reason why Juventus decided this early. because whatever the results of the last two matches will not have a big impact, the important thing is that Juventus has qualified for the Champions League next season. It seems that Juventus are quite firm with their decision to sack Allegri and want Motta as their coach in the future. In fact, Juventus has made a proposal for him to become their new coach in Juventus for 3 years, until 2027. Juventus' interest in Motta does have several quite strong reasons. One of them, he was able to make Bologna's performance this season improve significantly and consistently.

Yes, we just have to wait for good news from him. because maybe he won't talk about it seriously until next week.

His statement was quite wise and firm, he did not want to bring down Bologna's performance with his decision, but also did not rule out the possibility of him going to Juventus. What is certain is that he will focus first on the Bologna players so that they can continue to perform at their best, especially at the end of this season.

Probably, milan gave three points for torino. Milan's position is very safe at this moment to qualify for the UCL. I strongly believe that if milan was not playing seriously in this game. The lost against torino won't change the situation if intermilan is winning the trophy this season.
A goal from milan was coming from the penalty. This sounds bad but that's what milan wanted.

If milan was playing seriously and he will not start leao from the bench.




So damn true. It likes acmilan is only willing torino free points since milan has been in the safe position. Torino needs more point to get into the conference league qualification. It may be the main motive why acmilan was not playing seriously against torino.
Milan has done it again to help other club to achieve better result at the end ot season.

Juventus need to win their last two games to secure their ticket to play in Champions League next season, this condition is also applied to Bologna, because both of the teams have same points. The three teams are competing to get two tickets to play in Champions League next season. one slip-up will cost their hope to finish in Champions League zone.

Looking at the fixtures, Atalanta have big chance to finish top four. They only need to win their last two games. Juventus and Bologna will play against each other, and this gives big advantage for Atalanta, because one of them will certainly drop points. Looking at Juventus performances in the several games, they are in a worrying situation, a streak of draws has put them in this situation. I won't be surprised if Juventus fail to get a ticket for Champions League next season, they couldn't even win against weaker teams, while Bologna is having a peak form lately.

heavy defeat for Milan who were defeated 3 to 1 against Torino.

For Milan it must be said that little changes in the standings, a fundamental step forward for Torino which now overtakes Napoli and forcefully enters the European cup zone.

Atlanta is yet to qualify they still need to win the games they have ahead of them, if Juventus who's ahead of them isn't qualified yet, where then did they get their qualifications from, it's practically not possible to qualify ahead of another team that's point ahead of you and even ahead of you by a position on the table , I'm not disputing their chances but the certainty isn't clear yet at this point until the season probably ends.

Levee isn't a tough team to even start with so the victory doe me was expected a s isn't feeling like a big deal to me as I wasn't expecting any less from them, not after they have been able to show up the kind of performance they have been showing in the Europa since this season, where I will be really surprised at Atlanta performance will be with the Europa finals. Juventus will try all within their strength because they were almost close to getting the qualifications earlier before now, I'm sure they wouldn't want to loose it at this time when they very close to getting it.

A draw in their last two game can help them if only Atlanta aswell gets to loose and draw aswell but if they do any away from that then they can be sure to not play in the champions league next season and it will actually mean bad to the. Because they were a team that started off so well that it became really difficult to think they wouldn't be able to at least qualify for the champions league as that was one of their least worries then.

This week will be very very important for Juventus, if they win then there is probably not an issue, they already won the cup so they are quite good at that, but I think it is quite important for them to not be fourth, and if they do lose or even a draw, that would mean that Atalanta may have a chance to win and get to third place.

All in all, I think it is quite clear that we are talking about Juventus needing a big win without a doubt, it is very important. And at the same time Atalanta guaranteed their UCL spot, so I do not think that they will care that much, and Juventus winning it means that Roma will get to go to Europa for sure, which is great for them and I think it will definitely make it quite strong for them next season.

Milan was a complete mess.
What happened to them in today's match? Because I don't think their match today reflects a big club especially for their poor defense problem.

Indeed, for now Torino in terms of performance has improved but indeed losing with a fairly heavy score really makes me rethink that Milan can play consistently.

The first half they were always troubled by fast counter-attacks and the third goal they seemed unprepared in anticipation of attacks that made this need a lot to be improved because if next season they are like this then they could fail to be in a decent position.
Milan were too focused on their attack and possession of the ball but they didn't realize that their defense was weak and Milan didn't realize until they finally lost with a score that was quite striking.
