Strength is king! The real blue and black ended Roma s unbeaten 19 games and locked the top four, 5 teams compete for the final Champions League qualification

In the early morning of May 13, a focus battle was staged in the 36th round of the 2024/25 Serie A. The real blue and black Atlanta defeated the visiting Roma 2-1 at home, ending the opponent's unbeaten 19 games while also locking in a UEFA Champions League place next season. Roma has added new hatred before revenge, and the situation of attacking the Champions League next season is in jeopardy.

Roma is one of the best teams in Serie A in recent months. Before this game, they remained unbeaten in 19 Serie A rounds. Since Juventus drew with Lazio in this round, Bologna lost to AC Milan, as long as Roma defeated Atalanta away, he will rise to fourth place in the standings, thus occupying the most favorable position in the fourth place in the competition. Of course, Atalanta has a 68-minute period of relatively low pressure, but they also want to make a contribution to the first match and completely lock in the Champions League qualification.

Speaking of Champions League qualification, Roma formed a scoundrel with Atlanta last season. The Serie A team had a good record at that time and won 5 places in the Champions League this season. After defeating Leverkusen to win the UEFA Champions League, Atlanta has actually secured a UEFA Champions League place. As long as they finally win 5th in Serie A and 6th-ranked Roma can get a UEFA Champions League place, and Serie A can also play 6 teams in the Champions League for the first time in history.

However, Atalanta won 3-0 in the last round of Serie A to lock in the top four, which also led to the transfer of their Champions League qualification through the UEFA Cup to other European League teams. Roma, ranked 6th, can only play in the Europa League. Atlanta's approach still caused quite a lot of controversy at the time, and Roma fans were even more upset. So this fight also made a little revenge.

It’s a pity that strength is still the king on the field. Even though Roma has been unbeaten in 19 rounds, its strength is still slightly inferior to the real Blue and Black. In the 9 minutes of the game, Lukeman received an assist from Decait Lare to score, opening the first record for Atlanta. Although Christant scored a header in the 32nd minute, he tied the score at one point. But Kakari's volley in the 76th minute finally made Atlanta play 2-1 at home.

In this game, Atlanta has the advantage in both ball possession and shooting, so it is reasonable to win. After losing this game, Roma still ranked 6th. Now in the standings, Juventus has 64 points, Lazio has 64 points, Roma has 63 points, and Bologna has 62 points, while AC Milan with 60 points has not completely lost hope.

With only the last two rounds of Serie A, these five teams will fight for the last Champions League qualification. Among them, Roma and AC Milan will also fight in the next round, while Lazio will challenge Inter Milan away. Bologna will play in the Italian Cup final, and in the 37th round, it will challenge Fiorentina. Relatively speaking, the Juventus schedule in the last two rounds is Udinese and Venice, respectively, and they are most likely to catch the last bus of the Champions League next season.
