Atalanta and Inter clinched Champions League places

Before the last matchday, the starting position in terms of Champions League qualification was clear: While Atalanta and Inter had everything in their own hands, Roma and Milan had to hope that their competitors would slip up.

Gian Piero Gasperini's team, which was in third place before the game, had to play against Sassuolo. Curious: Because Atalanta's stadium is currently being renovated, Duvan Zapata & Co. were forced to play their home game at the Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia, the home of Sassoulo. There, this season's surprise team quickly fell behind due to Domenico Berardi's goal, but Zapata made up for the deficit before half-time. In the second half of the game, Atalanta took advantage of Berardi's red card to move ahead 3-1 and put the lid on Champions League qualification. Alejandro Gomez and Mario Pasalic were successful for the hosts. Inter trembles their way to victory Inter has also qualified for the upcoming Champions League. In a dramatic game against Empoli, Luciano Spalletti's team won 2-1 after a tough fight. Ten minutes before the end, when the score was still 1-1, Inter seemed out of the running for the premier class, but Nadja Nainggolan's goal in the 81st minute helped Inter move to fourth place. Victories are not enough Both Milan and Roma's wins were not enough to qualify for the Champions League. Gennaro Gattuso's team got off to a lightning start against SPAL: after just 23 minutes, thanks to Hakan Chalanoglu and Franck Kessie, it was 2-0 for the heavy favorites. However, SPAL didn't let themselves be defeated and Francesco Vicari reduced the score to 2-1. Shortly after the restart, the home team even managed to equalize. Ultimately, it was Kessie's penalty to make it 3-2 that gave Milan the victory, but not the ticket to the premier class they had hoped for.

Roma's 2-1 win against Parma was also worthless - in the coming season, the capital city will have to make do with the Europa League. Empoli is relegated There were three teams in the bottom of the table fighting against relegation, namely Genoa, Fiorentina and Empoli. The strange thing about it was that all three teams were able to avoid relegation on their own: Fiorentina only managed a draw at home against Genoa, Empoli managed to stay in the league with a win against Inter and Genoa had to win in a direct duel against the traditional club from Tuscany in order not to have to rely on Empoli.

The direct duel between Fiorentina and Genoa ended goalless. This meant that Cesare Prandelli's team had 38 points, exactly as many points as Empoli. However, Criscito & Co. had the better goal difference on their side. For Empoli, the defeat against Inter meant relegation.
