Yes, Serie A is one of the leagues that has 5 places for teams that will play in the UCL next season and of course this makes Serie A pretty good league, the rapid development means that Serie A can have this good opportunity next season.
Atalanta is currently the caretaker for the 5 teams that will have the opportunity to take part in the UCL competition next season and of course they can compete with other strong team in the UCL if they really maintain their position.
Victory over Lecce has also provided very good opportunity for Atalanta, moreover in the last match Atalanta was guaranteed to win over Torino and they could comfortably finish as team in 5th place.

But there is postponed match which is quite worrying, namely against Fiorentina and this is the only match that can put pressure on Atalanta.

As much as possible, Atalanta must maximize the remaining matches in order to secure tickets to the Champions League. Of course, this opportunity is now within his grasp because UEFA has given five slots to teams in Serie A. However, Atalanta seems to have enough to win one more match to avoid being chased by Roma. Apart from that, Atalanta also has the opportunity to qualify directly for the Champions League if they are able to win the Europa League title, but this step is also very difficult because their opponent is Bayer Leverkusen. But I feel quite confident that Atalanta will advance to the Champions League through the fifth slot in the Serie A standings.

Yes, that what they should do because opportunities like this are really wanted by all team and they are lucky with what Serie A has got this season, if Atalanta wastes good opportunity like this then it will be very detrimental.
Only 3 points behind and what they can do is win the remaining games, if they can't win, at least they have to be able to get draw, I sure Roma will try to get win and catch Atalanta.
Even though if they manage to qualify and enter the UCL, they won't last long or it could be said that they might just be eliminated sooner, but at least Atalanta has proven that they are strong enough team and are able to compete in UCL group stage.

For the European League itself, I would not expect anything from Atalanta to win the final match, the opponent is Leverkusen and this is team that has not been defeated, it is impossible for Atalanta to win this match.

It is not right to say impossible because it seemed impossible for them to beat Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield, but Atalanta managed to do it. In difficult matches, some teams are more concentrated. Atalanta has something similar. It's like they like difficult matches more. The final match will also be very difficult and if Atalanta is the team that makes fewer mistakes, maybe they will prove everyone wrong. They are doing well in Italy this year. There may be more to come, of course.
