Milan can still finish in fourth place and go to the Champions League, what is needed and the combinations for a resounding finish.
Le combinazioni per il Milan in Champions (ANSA) – MilanLive.it
It sounds absurd but it is so: despite everything, Milan still has residual chances to qualify for the next Champions League. Lazio’s last-minute draw against Juventus in yesterday’s early match allows the Rossoneri to be, at the moment, only four points behind fourth place in the standings, currently occupied by the Bianconeri (64 points). Fundamental is tomorrow’s match between Roma and Atalanta: it is played in Bergamo and the eventual non-win of the Giallorossi would be a further assist for Milan to believe in it until the end.
No matter what, it remains a very difficult, almost impossible goal: there are so many, perhaps too many favorable interlocks that have to occur. And this only fuels Milan’s regrets: it would have taken very little to be there and salvage what can be saved. The Rossoneri have four teams ahead of them in the standings, which makes everything more complicated. But in soccer, you know, everything is possible and it costs nothing to hope. But what do the Rossoneri need to accomplish this miracle? Below are all the combinations for a sensational scenario.
Milan al quarto posto, cosa serve per andare in Champions League
Let’s start with an important premise: there are two games left to the end of the season and, no matter what, Milan must win both of them if they really want to keep hoping. And among them is a direct clash: Milan will be back on the pitch at the Olimpico a few days after the Coppa Italia final to face Ranieri’s team, resoundingly in the running for Champions League football after a shock start to the season in the relegation zone.
Roma have their destiny in their own hands: winning in Bergamo would mean overtaking Juventus and going to plus two, after which, as mentioned, they will play against Milan and Turin; and if they win both, they will be in the Champions League without depending on the results of the others. But let’s see now what needs to happen for the Rossoneri to finish in fourth place:
La Roma non fa più di tre punti nelle tre gare a disposizione;
Juventus e Lazio fanno massimo un punto nelle ultime due partite;
Il Bologna totalizza massimo quattro punti contro Fiorentina e Genoa (Milan avanti negli scontri diretti grazie al 3-1 di Gimenez);
La Fiorentina fa massimo sei punti contro Venezia, Bologna e Udinese.
While waiting for Atalanta-Roma and Venezia-Fiorentina tomorrow, here is what the standings look like right now:
4. Juventus (64)
5. Lazio (64)
6. Roma (63)
7. Bologna (62)
8. Milan (60)
9. Fiorentina (59)
Below, however, is the schedule for the last three days:
