Atalanta Beat Roma To Secure Champions League Spot
Atalanta qualified for the Champions League on Monday by beating Roma 2-1 and mathematically securing a place in Serie A's top four. Ibrahim Sulemana's strike in the 76th minute moved Atalanta, in third, seven points ahead of fifth-placed Lazio with two matches remaining in the season. Gian Piero Gasperini's team had taken an early lead through Ademola Lookman only for Atalanta old boy Bryan Cristante to head Roma level in the 32nd minute. But Sulemana ended Roma's long unbeaten run at 19 matches and left Claudio Ranieri's side one point behind Lazio and Juventus, who sit fourth.
Inter Milan Downed By Roma, Scott McTominay Fires Napoli To Top Of Serie A
Inter Milan's defence of their Serie A title was hit with a setback on Sunday as they lost 1-0 at home to Roma, while Scott McTominay netted a brace as Napoli beat Torino 2-0 to go top of the table. No fixtures were played on Friday or Saturday because of the funeral of Pope Francis in Rome, meaning the full round of Serie A matches take place on Sunday and Monday. Matias Soule's first-half strike for Roma knocked Inter off top spot earlier in the day before new table-toppers Napoli opened up a three-point buffer with victory in Sunday's late kick-off.
Inter Milan vs Roma One Of Three Serie A Fixtures Moved For Pope Francis' Funeral
Inter Milan's match against Roma has been postponed due to a clash with Pope Francis' funeral which the Vatican announced will take place on Saturday, Serie A said on Tuesday. Serie A said all three matches scheduled for Saturday would be rescheduled, with Inter's -- moved to Sunday at 1300 GMT -- being the highest profile as they contest the league title with Napoli. The decision comes after the Italian government announced on Tuesday five days of national mourning for Francis, the head of the world's 1.4 billion Catholics, who died at his home in the Vatican on Monday aged 88 after suffering a stroke.
Claudio Ranieri Eyeing Champions League For Roma Before Derby Swansong
Claudio Ranieri faces his final Rome derby on Sunday as he leads Roma on a charge for the Champions League before finally, definitively sailing off into the distance. Veteran coach Ranieri has dragged Roma to just four points behind Serie A's top four positions since coming out of retirement in November, when his boyhood club looked to be heading towards the relegation zone. This weekend's clash with fellow Champions League chasers Lazio is a key moment in a tight battle for two spots in Europe's elite club competition, with Inter Milan and Napoli out on their own contesting the Scudetto.
Juventus Miss Out On Serie A's Top Four With Draw Against Roma
Juventus missed the chance to move into Serie A's Champions League positions on Sunday after being held to a 1-1 draw at fellow top four hopefuls Roma. Igor Tudor's team stay fifth, level on 56 points with fourth-placed Bologna in a tight battle for a spot in Europe's elite club competition. Eldor Shomurodov earned Roma a point four minutes after the break with his sixth goal of the season, cancelling out a superb volley crashed in by Manuel Locatelli shortly before half-time. Tudor was brought in last month to get Juve into the Champions League, but Sunday's draw against a direct rival complicates matters in a six-team fight for two places, with Inter Milan and Napoli contesting the league title and almost certain of qualification. Juve cannot afford to miss out on the Champions League given the club's recent negative financial history and the over 200 million euros ($217 million) invested in renewing the squad for Tudor's sacked predecessor Thiago Motta.
