At dawn on Monday, the final match of the Serie A attracted a lot of attention. Roma were counting on Atalanta to make it to the UEFA Europa League first, while they needed to keep an eye on Amboli's relegation. However, Roma's 1-2 defeat at the hands of Amboli pushed their rivals to safety, while Atalanta's 3-0 home win over Toledo puts them in the top four. The result disqualified Roma, who were in sixth place, from contention for a place on the Europa League bench.
Given that Atalanta just won the Champions League trophy last week, they will undoubtedly play in the Europa League next season. Had they finished fifth in the league, the Europa League spot that had belonged to Roma would have been extended to sixth. But Atalanta's victory allowed them to overtake Bologna and climb to fourth place. As a result, Bologna, who were expected to retain their fifth place in the UEFA Europa League, will eventually qualify for the Europa League. It should be noted that the top four teams in Serie A cannot transfer qualification for the Europa League to a team from another league, so Roma can only participate in the Europa League.
Atalanta have previously featured in the Europa League, and a make-up match with Ferrentina will be played in the early hours of June 3, which will mark the end of the Serie A season. Although the match has no impact on the European landscape, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus, Atalanta and Bologna will all participate in next season's Europa League; Roma will join the competition; Lazio and eighth-placed Ferentina will also qualify; while Fiorentina, Sassuolo and Salamanca will face relegation.
