The fight for placement in the Champions League in the Italian Serie A was heated.
The points were returned to Juventus, and tonight’s triumph against Roma 3:1 (1:0), Fiorentina fully joined the teams aiming for the strongest European club competition, i.e. one of the first four positions. More precisely, some of positions two to four, considering that the first one has long been reserved for Napoli, who has a huge 17 points “surplus” over the second-placed Lazio.
The situation after the 31st round, that is, seven rounds before the end of the season, looks like this: six teams are separated by only nine points, so it will be extremely interesting to watch the end of the season in Serie A.

He briefly restored hope to the guests Lorenzo Pelegrini, also from the first shot into the frame of the goal, but already in the next attack Roma’s goalkeeper made a cardinal mistake Rui Patricio he dropped the ball, which he punished Teun Head Majors and ended the story in the last match of the 31st round of Serie A.
Obviously exhausted after the phenomenal match against Feyenoord and reaching the semi-finals of the Europa League, the team Jose Mourinho, who sat on Roma’s bench for the 100th time tonight, he did not have the strength to oppose Atalanta, who with tonight’s three points approached the sixth-placed Inter, only two points behind, that is, Roma and Milan with four.
They completed the neighborhood evening for the Roma injuries to Paulo Dybala and Diego Llorente. The Argentinian gritted his teeth and finished the game, while the Spaniard could not continue, so he watched the end of the match from the bench, considering that Mourinho had already made all five changes.
