It is over for Roma on their Champions League title chase... Sad

They managed to beat Genoa by 1-0 even with 10 players but it was still not enough to keep their hopes for the last week of the season. Because Atalanta also won against Lecce. The point gap is three points maybe but head-to-head games are taken into account first. Atalanta are ahead on that too after beating Roma by 2-1 recently.

Even though there are 5 teams qualifying for the Champions League, Roma have failed on this task once again. But I hope to see them coming back stronger. Let's see whether the board will keep De Rossi for next season too.

It felt like a huge waste for Roma because they were also late in achieving this victory. They shouldn't waste the points they have so they can appear in the Champions League, but as we know, in the last 5 matches they have only won 2 times. If only they managed to sweep these 5 matches clean with a win, of course the result would definitely be that one place would be theirs.

Now all the teams in Serie A still have one to two matches left and for Roma one match remaining will not be enough for them to overtake Atalanta. I think they have to be willing to fight again in the European league and that is at least still better than not playing in other competitions next season.

Atalanta still has two matches left, while AS Roma has only one match left and also, Atalanta has a higher number of goals compared to AS Roma. Therefore, even if for example at the end of the season, Atalanta and AS Roma have the same points then still, AS Roma will not be able to overtake Atalanta. But anyway, because Atalanta has two matches remaining then of course Atalanta will still have higher points compared to AS Roma. With this factor, then of course there is no more chance for AS Roma to be able to finish in the Champion League zone and of course, AS Roma only accept a Europa League ticket because AS Roma still failed to finish in the Champion League zone.

99% atalanta will qualify for the UCL. I was saying it after i take a look at the upcoming fixtures of atalanta.

Atalanta vs torino
Atalanta vs fiorentina

Are there strong clubs from these fixtures? they are all below atlanta at this moment. Roma needs a miracelt to rob UCL spot from atalanta. It needs a miracle for roma to make it happen. I strongly believe atalanta can at least secure one point in order to lock UCL spot.

It sounds impossible for torino or fiorentina to steal points from atalanta. Gesperini's club is still very consistent and it's also in a very good mood after it was entering into the final of europa league this season.

It's hard to imagine roma to seize atalanta's UCL spot. It needs a miracle to happen.
