Milan and Roma in Driver’s Seat for Last Two UCL Spots | OneFootball

Roma and Milan built a two-point lead over Juventus and Como in the UEFA Champions League race in the penultimate round, while Napoli finished the job early. The Rossoneri will take on Cagliari, which have mathematically avoided relegation, while the Giallorossi will face Hellas Verona, which have been headed to Serie B for a while but continue to be plucky. Both would be in with a win.

Instead, the situation would be more intricate if one of the two drew or lost, especially if three, or even four, sides ended up with the same amount of points, Calcio e Finanza points out. The Massimiliano Allegri-led outfit would also qualify also with a draw even if the Lariani and the Old Lady both triumphed, but only if the capital club wasn’t successful. La Lupa would need one of the chasers to stumble if they didn’t come out on top.

Juventus necessitate the most work because of the results of the head-to-head clashes, as they can’t finish level with either Roma or Milan and Como, or they’d be out anyway. One of the two clubs ahead of them has to falter for them to sneak in. Instead, if either drew, their faith would hinge on the Biancoblù’s result against Cremonese.

Our Take on the Milan, Roma, and Juventus

It’s not surprising Roma jumped ahead, as they have the most momentum, but it’s a bit odd that the Old Lady, and not Milan, collapsed. The Rossoneri’s blame game and civil war were already underway. Still, the Bianconeri have been turtling for a month. Luciano Spalletti is lucky to have penned an early extension. Still, everything is on the table when their owner is angry and disappointed.
