Do we really think that though? I get that Roma did alright, but this is the same team that failed to win at Serie A to get that fourth position and still losing points left and right there, I am not sure if they are really that great. I am not saying that Roma is a bad team, obviously they are not a bad team, but I feel like it is not looking all that crazy, we should probably consider the fact that they are just alright and not a big deal. This is of course just my thought and I could be wrong and they could be a great team.
But, if we see Leverkusen easily beat them like 2-0 or so this game, on the first leg, then we would see that Roma wasn't that much of a great team and that could be understandable in the end, we are seeing things change in the end but Leverkusen is a great team.

The team in the fifth position is going to play in the Europa League group stage. Now the current situation that was just described above, based on that I think Atalanta has a great chance to finish in the fifth position and get ahead of Roma. By the way, they also have a match against Roma to play left. So that should be a great chance for them to get ahead of Roma.
The problem is Roma seems to be scoring pretty well and the strikers actually seem to be actually starting to be better. The only hard opponent for Atalanta is Roma in the Serie A. But Roma will have to play against Juventus and also Atalanta. So there is definitely a chance for Atalanta to actually finish in the fifth position as they have played one match less compared to Roma.
If Roma actually finishes on the sixth, it is going to be a little crazy, to be honest. You know they actually brought a new coach to improve their performance. But I guess judging the coach so early is also not the right thing to do. he has only had like half of the season with Roma.
