Champions sprint: Milan and Roma laugh, Juve collapses. Napoli qualified, standings and latest matches
Shots and spectacle in the sprint for the Serie A Champions League, now in its penultimate chapter and played at noon. Napoli wins in Pisa and mathematically qualifies for the next edition of Europe’s top competition, for Conte a comfortable 3-0 result of goals by McTominay, Rrahmani and Hojlund.
Milan and Roma laugh, Juventus cries: the Rossoneri sweep away the last few complicated weeks by winning at the Ferraris against Genoa 2-1 thanks to a penalty by a reborn Nkunku and a goal by the surprising Athekame. Useless for De Rossi’s team was Vasquez’s goal in the final period. The Diavolo climbed to second place tied with Roma, which triumphed against Lazio thanks to two headers by Mancini, hero of the derby.
The big loser on this Sunday is Juventus, resoundingly bent at home by Fiorentina 2-0 and slipped to sixth: the Viola struck in the first half with Ndour and in the second half with ex-tour Mandragora, Spalletti’s team (a goal annulled to Vlahovic for offside) came out amid booing and is one step away from exclusion from the Champions League.
On the other hand, Fabregas’ Como beats Parma 1-0 and hooks Juventus, bringing them to two points from fourth place, keeping the Champions dream still alive.
Everything will be decided on the last day: AC Milan is engaged at home with Cagliari, Roma goes to Verona, Como to Cremona while Juventus will play its remaining chances in the Turin derby, but it will depend on the results of the other fields.
