The 35th matchday of Serie A gave a clear shock to the fight for the Champions League. The outcome of Juventus-Milan he certainly shuffled the cards and placed the Bianconeri in an awkward position. The ranking is clear, with five teams still in the running for three places available, considering how the top is Conte's Inter, champion of Italy.
Lazio, to date, seem well spaced but have a game to catch up. The Biancocelesti are on 67 points, two less than fifth Juve, three less than fourth Napoli. With three days of disputes still, nothing has yet been decided.
Lotta Champions, the results of the 35th matchday of Serie A
From Saturday 8 to Sunday 9 May the 35th day of A league. To open the dances was Napoli, who won 1-4 at the home of Spezia. Excellent performance starring Osimhen. After the bitter draw at the last minute against Cagliari, Gattuso's men recover part of the lost ground. The two lengths left on the street at the Maradona stadium are exactly those that separate the Neapolitans from Atalanta and Milan.
The knockout suffered by Lazio at Fiorentina is surprising. The three points of this challenge would have brought Inzaghi and his team to 67 and, with a race to recover, to potential 70 lengths, such as the Napoli. On the other hand, Atalanta did not stop, giving Parma away a "hand". Triumph away from home also for Milan, engaged in the big match of the day against Juventus.
Juventus-Milan, the direct match
Definitely bitter evening for Pirlo, who saw his Juventus collapse definitively under the blows of a newfound Milan. 0-3 which could have become 0-4 if Kessié had signed his umpteenth penalty kick of the season. Overtaking Napoli in the standings and Bianconeri fifth at 69 points. Today it would be the Europa League.
There is a lot of talk about Pirlo's future, which is increasingly uncertain. An exemption during the current season cannot be excluded, trying to stimulate the pride of the players in the squad. There are three games to go until the end of the season and the fate of the bianconeri is no longer in their hands.
Lotta Champions, the calendar of the last days
No team between Atalanta, Milan and Napoli can be said to be safe. The accumulated benefits are minimal and anything can happen in the next three days. Much will depend on the type of calendars. There is a midweek shift involved, which could complicate the coaches' schedules. However, eyes focused above all on Juventus-Inter and Atalanta-Milan, which could be worth an entire season. It will therefore be the direct clashes (or almost, considering how Inter are out of the game now) to decide the Champions League fight:
