Atalanta e Roma they go in Europa League, the Juve, Uefa permitting, in Conference, Spezia and Verona postpone the salvation speech to next Sunday's playoff. Here they are the verdicts of the 38th day of Serie A, the last of a won championship by Napoli, but fought to the end for all the other goals, so much so that it had to end with the aforementioned appendix. The Sunday that just ended gave a lot of emotions, but no change in the standings: the positions, in fact, remained the same as before, despite the enormous number of goals on all fields.
Milan – Verona 3-1, Leao puts on a show, Ibra leaves football
Let's start with the San Siro and the victory of the Milan on Verona, which, however, does not certify the yellow-blues' relegation: Spezia's defeat against Roma, in fact, leaves the two "unsafe" players at 31 points and postpones everything to next Sunday's play-off (one-off match on neutral ground, place and time still to be to define). Thus the Rossoneri close the season in the best possible way, also because the protagonist is precisely that Leao who is highly applauded by the over 70 thousand in the stands, fresh from his contract renewal and author of an amazing brace. To open the games, however, had been Giroud su strictness (45+2'), until Hellas found the draw with Pharaohs (71'). The match seemed to focus on a draw, but then the Portuguese took the chair with two solos to frame, which earned the 2-1 (85') and the final 3-1 (90+2'). The biggest news, in light of the defeat of La SpeziaHowever, it reached the end of the game when Ibrahimovic, acclaimed by all of San Siro, not only greeted the Rossoneri crowd, but the world of football. “The time has come to say goodbye to football, but not to Milan – declared the Swede at the end of the match -. You welcomed me with open arms and I will be a Milan fan for life. Future as a manager? I'm not thinking about it right now."
Rome - Spezia 2-1, Mourinho gets the Europa League and promises the fans: "I'll stay here"
An evening for strong hearts also at the Olimpico, where the Rome beats Spezia at the photo finish and conquers sixth place in the standings, the last useful one to go to the Europa League. It wasn't a walk in the park, indeed the Giallorossi seriously risked not winning and slipping into the Conference, thanks to Juve's success in Udine. It would have been a huge joke for a club that, up until a few days ago, was playing for a trophy and direct access to the Champions League, but in the end the usual thought took care of it Dybala, decisive in transforming a heavy penalty like a boulder in full stoppage time (90+1'). Semplici's Ligurians, for their part, recriminate for a vanishing salvation at the most beautiful, but at the same time they can rejoice for the victory of Milan, which certifies the play-off with Verona. Sure, Nikolaou's initial goal (6') had been deceiving a lot, but then Roma, driven by the usual sold-out at the Olimpico, tied with Zalewski (43') and looked for a 2-1 for the entire second half: as previously mentioned, it was Dybala who found it from a penalty, giving the Giallorossi people at least participation in the Europa League. At the end of the game Mourinho, disqualified and therefore absent on the bench, took to the field to greet the fans, indulging in a gesture ("I'm staying here") that smacks of a twist about his future.
Udinese – Juventus 0-1, Allegri enigmatic: “My future? Ask the company…”
It's no use like that Juventus victory in Udine, if not to reiterate the third place conquered on the field. Without the minus 10, in fact, the bianconeri would have finished on 72 points like Inter, but with direct matches in favor: a meager consolation, in the light of the already closed sentences which mean the Conference League, Uefa permitting. Should a further disqualification arrive from Nyon, which is definitely possible, the Lady would also see the last door to Europe close, regardless of the church goal yesterday, which allowed her to conclude the championship with a victory. However, more than the success of the Dacia Arena, it is the declarations of Allegri, decidedly different from those pronounced up to a few hours ago, including the eve, in which he had always hinted that he would remain in Turin next season as well. “I'm proud of this team and these men, they worked with great professionalism, passion and patience – the Juventus coach said -. I have to thank everyone who worked with me at Continassa, now the club will take care of planning as it is normal, Calvo is there and he will tell what the club will do next year. If I'll be at Continassa on July 10? I'm a coach, you have to ask the club these questions”.
Naples – Sampdoria 2-0, De Laurentiis thinks about the future, but Osimhen scares the blue people
To complete the last day of the championship, in addition to 5-2 by Atalanta (Europa League for her too) on Monza and the 3-2 of Bologna in Lecce, the Napoli, on the day of official party for the Scudetto. However, before singers and characters linked to the blue world cheered Maradona's over 50 crowd, it was the team that became the protagonist thanks to the success against Sampdoria. Decisive Osimhen on penalty (64') and Simeon (85'), before the insiders, above all, took the chair De Laurentiis. “The next coach? After the party we will work assiduously in the month of June to meet the right candidates – explained the blue president -. Naples can only be loved, when I meet this feeling I will shake his hand hoping I have not made a mistake". However, Osimhen took action to frighten the blue people, emphasizing how his permanence in the shadow of Vesuvius is anything but certain. “Here I am happy and highly motivated for next season – the words of the top scorer of the championship -. As for the future, however, I don't know anything, it is the president who decides: the people of Naples have shown me great love, I will follow the flow ".
