The Roma - Milan match was a little disappointing to me because I expected these teams to play better than this. Because top four is the main target for both teams so I waited for seeing a bigger effort. Actually the match wasn't very boring because both teams were able to create many goal opportunities. But the main problem was with finishing for both of them.

I remember a statistics like there were 20 shots in total but 0 of them was on target. This must be like the poorest performance in a big match in this season. But I totally enjoyed the stoppage time part. Roma scored a goal by a lovely counter-attack and it seemed like they would win by 1-0. But Milan had the last word thanks to Saelemaekers. Roma defenders couldn't mark him well behind and it cost them two points.

Roma failed to secure fourth place after only being able to draw 1-1 with Milan, this result was very disappointing for Roma because they failed to take advantage of home games and had an early lead over Milan. This result was very fair for Roma and Milan, both teams fought hard to finish the match with a win.
I admit that it was not easy to beat Milan after they managed to beat Napoli, the mentality of the Milan players has increased because they really want to end the season in the top four. The draw won at the Olimpico made Roma have to fight hard in the next match if they wanted to finish in the Champions League zone. Apart from achieving maximum results in the next match, Roma also hoped that Milan would lose points to move up to fourth place.

I am not saying that Roma played badly in this match. But I expected better performance from them. Because this is Roma's home match. Also, it was a very important match for them. Roma team would be able to go to the fourth place in the table if they win this match. Now the fourth place in the table is AC Milan and the fifth place is Roma team.
However, if the Inter Milan team can win their next match against Lazio, then the Inter Milan team will probably be able to move to fourth place in the table. But winning against Lazio will not be an easy task for Inter Milan. Lazio is a strong team this season. And now the team is second in the points table. Lazio has been consistently performing well in every match.

I am not so sure about that. I actually think that they did play badly. As the home team they had a single attempt on target in the whole game. That is certainly not enough for a team that's fighting for the Champions League qualification. They also had only 36% ball possession. It sounds like they played against a superpower in a different stadium, but as I said it was a home game. Roma had a big chance now that Juventus had so much trouble winning or even only tying their games, but I think that Mourinho and the team might have felt too confident about their position as it was looking great. Now they even have to fear to not qualify for the Europa League the normal way as Atalanta started winning their games again. Though most eyes will be on Napoli and Lazio today. If Lazio doesn't win and I assume Napoli will win, Serie A is over. I know it already is, but then it is officially over. Would be nice for Napoli to win it in a home game.
