The recently concluded Serie A championship offered many battles within battles. Comebacks, collapses, positive moments, and others with negative cycles that seemed endless.

The rivalry intensifies when two eternal city rivals like Roma and Lazio are compared. The flop of the Biancocelesti, out of everything, is magnified by the epic comeback of the Giallorossi.

RANIERI AND THE LEGACY TO FILL

The journey made by Claudio Ranieri, who succeeded Daniele De Rossi and Ivan Juric, is on the verge of legendary. Being at the center of the news for being close to the relegation zone and then, on the last day, standing for several minutes in the Champions League zone is an achievement not to be underestimated.

Ranieri succeeded in transforming a devalued team into a sort of invincible battleship. Roma will participate in the Europa League, a European competition left as a legacy by Ranieri. The legacy of Sir Claudio will be enormous to take on, but Ranieri's presence in the club is a guarantee.

LAZIO, FROM DREAM TO FLOP. AND NOW REFLECTION

Lazio punctuated its season with an opposite trajectory: starting off great after dominating the mega Europa League group, the Biancocelesti gradually lost their grip on all fronts until the bitter end.

Baroni's team (heading towards dismissal), could not keep up with the pace of the European race, giving way, as mentioned, even to their rivals Roma. The Giallorossi, with great skill, caught up, overtook, and distanced Lazio, contributing to their exclusion from European competitions.
