The 36th round of Serie A ushered in the focus of the battle, Atalanta hosted Roma, and finally De Ketelaere scored twice, Pellegrini pulled a goal back with a penalty shot, Atalanta defeated Roma 2:1, won four consecutive wins, and led Roma by 3 points with one less game, and the relationship between each other was superior, so it can be said that it was in fifth place, and the Champions League qualification has been secured. Roma are winless in three games and are in sixth place, with seventh-place Lazio also looming. Juventus drew 1-1 at home to Salernitana and won five consecutive league draws and dropped to fourth.
The relegation situation is even more chaotic, so far the relegation teams have lost all this round, Cagliari lost 1:5 to AC Milan, Empoli lost to Lazio 0:2, Verona lost to Torino 1:2, in this way, from 13th Lecce to 19th Sassuolo have relegation opportunities, and there are also relegation probabilities, and there are seven teams in the relegation melee at the end of the league, and the competition is indeed fierce enough. Udinese's away game against Lecce will be important tomorrow night, as Lecce only need a draw to avoid relegation, and Udinese can escape the relegation zone if they win. In this round of the game, Sassuolo was reversed by Genoa 1:2 away and failed to seize the opportunity, and the team that beat Inter Milan twice has a high probability of relegation.
