Champions League qualification?

For some, the qualification in Champions League it might seem like a small thing, for what in some ways seemed to be the Nerazzurri's season. In the first two thirds of the season it was in fact legitimate and correct to consider the boys as Gasperini the third force in the championship. The Goddess was in full fight for the championship, always remaining in the wake of Napoli e Inter, before an unfortunate January, with only one victory and an equally complicated end to March with three defeats in a row.

These two negative periods have in fact precluded the Atalanta players from fighting to the end for the title of Champion of Italy, leaving a bitter aftertaste to yet another excellent result in this historic period for the club. The victory would in fact ensure the second qualification in Champions consecutive, it would be the fifth in the last eight seasons. Mind-boggling numbers for what is now a great team in Italian football, without ifs or buts. All this with the future unknown of Gasperini, whose divorce this summer is possible, but not yet certain.

What changes for the Giallorossi

If for someone the Champions League It might have a vague bitter aftertaste, but it certainly wouldn't have one for the fans of the Roma. On the contrary, a finish in the top four would be something unique for the comeback that has been made by the Giallorossi since Ranieri sits on their bench. In the return round the Capitoline team is following a devilish pace of over two points per game, undefeated in this Serie A in 2025 and first in performance.

Should qualification for the top competition materialize at the end of the championship Uefa, it would be the last great masterpiece of a wonderful career, by Ranieri. At the end of the season, in fact, the coach has already announced that he will hang up his bench and take on the role of manager in the Roman club, already actively participating in the search for a new coach. Now, however, only the present and the future count. Roma knocks on the door of the Champions League.
