In the early morning of May 27, Beijing time, the 38th round of Serie A began. New Europa League champions Atalanta beat Torino 3-0 at home to secure fourth place in Serie A with one game in hand. This result also completely shattered the dream of the sixth-ranked Roma team to qualify for next season's Champions League. However, they are really to blame for this, and no one else is to blame.

Atalanta only played the Europa League final in the early morning of the 23rd, but perhaps it was a happy event that people were in good spirits, and they still played vigorously at home against Torino after winning the first European championship trophy in team history. In the first half, goals from Scamacca and Lookman gave the True Nerazzurri a 2-0 lead. In the 71st minute of the second half, Lookman successfully created a penalty and Pasalic took the penalty in one fell swoop, and Atalanta finally won 3-0.

After this campaign, although Atalanta still has a make-up match with Fiorentina, because Bologna behind him has played all the games in Serie A this season, the true blue and black have completely locked the fourth place in Serie A, and Roma's idea of entering the Champions League next season as the sixth in Serie A has also failed.

Next season, there are five Champions League qualifications in Serie A, and Roma must meet three conditions if they want to qualify for the Champions League: Atalanta win the Europa League, lock up fifth place in Serie A, and Roma retain sixth place in Serie A. That's because if the true Nerazzurri win the Europa League, they qualify for next season's Champions League, and their league position will determine their final place in Serie A for next season. Considering that the 5th place in Serie A itself is an additional stop, if the true blue and black get the 5th place in Serie A, the 6th place in Serie A, that is, Roma, can play in the Champions League, and Serie A will also have a historic 6 teams in the Champions League.

However, Atalanta now secured fourth place in Serie A with a three-goal win, and this Champions League qualification has been postponed to Portuguese giants Benfica, who finished runners-up in the league this season. Roma, on the other hand, will have to continue to play in the Europa League. And this also means that Roma's goal of a top four in Serie A set at the beginning of the season has failed. This result is undoubtedly very disappointing. After all, Roma once played a very bright record after De Rossi took office, and got Roma's contract extension as a result.

However, in the last 7 rounds of Serie A, the Roma team only got 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, and the worst thing is that the 2 games they lost were against Bologna and Atalanta, two direct competitors for the fourth, that is to say, the 6-point battle for the 4th in 2 games, the Roma team gave up 3 points. In the final round of Serie A in the early hours of this morning, Roma lost 1-2 away to Empoli, giving the opponent three points to successfully relegation. Since you are a good person, you can't blame Atlanta for being incomprehensible. Of course, they can also comfort themselves like this, they can't even play the relegation team in Serie A, what else can they play in the Champions League?
