The Champions League sprint ends in the most sensational way possible: out are two big names such as Milan and Juventus, in are Roma and above all Como. Extraordinary feat for the Como team who won the pass for the first time in the club's history.
A very close fight, which remained open until the last ninety minutes, with four teams within a few points fighting for the last two places in the top European competition. The scenarios were multiple but the verdict is absolutely incredible.
Milan e Juve a picco
Milan collapses thunderously. The final defeat suffered at home against Cagliari was decisive, winning 2-1 at the Meazza. The Rossoneri, who until a few weeks ago seemed to be masters of their own destiny and even Inter's main rivals in winning the title of Italian Champions, remain mocked. Allegri and his team paid for a series of missteps right at the decisive moment. An inexplicable braking. It is a sporting failure which inevitably opens up profound questions about the technical project and corporate choices also because for the Devil it is the second consecutive year outside Europe that counts. The dispute flares up. A protest that had already begun in recent weeks and which, after the sensational verdict, has only increased. Milan has hit rock bottom, fallen into a black hole and now will have to find a way to get back up.
Juventus doesn't do better. Even for the Bianconeri the ending was insufficient, first of all there was a lack of conviction and continuity. A fluctuating season and Luciano Spalletti's arrival on the bench was of no avail. The coach was unable to bring the team to the Europe that counts. Staying out of the Champions League, for a club of that caliber, means economic and technical downsizing, as well as a summer that promises to be hot.
Instead, Roma are the ones celebrating, hitting the target with clarity and character, confirming constant growth in the most delicate moment of the season.
Como è storia!
Como is writing a page of history.
The qualification of the Larians is simply historical. A modern fairy tale. From ambitious newly promoted team to reality capable of snatching a place among the greats in Europe: the path of the Lombard club rewrites the hierarchies of Italian football. Fabregas' boys succeed in an extraordinary, unprecedented feat: they will play in the Champions League!
A crazy, unthinkable last day, capable of overturning every prediction.
