Roma and Como will be the two teams participating in the Champions League from Serie A, joining Inter and Napoli. The last Sunday of this season in Serie A was dramatic, as Milan and Juventus could not win and secure participation in the “TOP4”. In this way Roma and Como took maximum advantage, registering an extraordinary success.
For Roma, it is a return to the elite competition after 7 years. Gasperini's team has shown compactness and stability throughout the season and in the end received the deserved reward. In the 38th and final week, the yellow and reds defeated Verona 0-2 at "Bentegodi", while both goals came in the second half, thanks to the achievements of Malen and El Shaarawy. Roma ends the season in 3rd place with 73 points.
The Como saga continues until its final week. Two years after the Lakers were promoted to the elite after more than 60 years, they manage to secure their first ever participation in the Champions League. Two weeks ago, Cesc Fabregas's team celebrated their mathematical participation in Europe, while on Sunday evening the celebrations reached their climax, with Como taking advantage of Milan's defeat, managing to beat Cremonese 1-4 away and secure their participation in the Champions League. Jesus Rodriguez, Douvikas and Da Cunha's double, made Como "fly to heaven 7".
Meanwhile, Cremonese joins Pisa and Verona, relegated to Serie B. Lecce, led by Ylber Ramadani and Medon Berisha, manages to secure its place in the elite of Italian football, thanks to a 1-0 success against Genoa.
