Serie A has reached the final day: all the league verdicts, with Europa zone and salvation affected
Serie A 38ma giornata, sfida per Europa e salvezza: tutti i verdetti – SerieAnews
The curtain on Serie A has come down with the 38th and final day of the championship. A round that opened on Friday in the Scudetto challenges Napoli-Cagliari and Como-Inter and the tricolor ended up on the chest of the team coached by Antonio Conte, one of the architects of the feat.
Yesterday, on the other hand, it was Milan’s turn to beat Monza 2-0 in a match with nothing more up for grabs than to end the tournament with their heads held high and Bologna’s, which fell at the Dall’Ara against Genoa. Today, at the same time, as many as seven matches valid for qualification for the European cups and for the salvation fight. Here are all the verdicts.
Atalanta-Parma 2-3: gara pazza, Ducali salvi
A crazy match the one at the Gewiss Stadium between Atalanta and Parma. The first half was all Nerazzurri: on the shields Daniel Maldini capable of a double in just two minutes, between 32′ and 33′. It seems over, but in the resumption comes the reaction of the Ducali.
At 49′ Hainaut shortened the gap then at 71′ it was Ondrejka who found the 2-2 goal. And the same midfielder, already protagonist with a double against Lazio, also scored the final 3-2 goal at 91′. Orobici third, Parma safe at 33.
Empoli-Verona 1-2: toscani condannati
A real direct clash, the loser goes to Serie B hell. Ears glued to the little radios to find out the results from the other fields, eyes and heart to the Castellani. Ready to go and Scaligeri take the lead at 4′ with Serdar.
In the second half, Fazzini tied the score at 43′ and the situation returned to equilibrium. Verona, however, took the lead again at 69′ with Bradaric and the match ended there, despite the assaults of the Tuscans, who relegated to B with 31 points. Verona, on the other hand, 14th with 37 points.
Lazio-Lecce 0-1: shock all’Olimpico, caos biancocelesti
The most surprise result of the entire day. Lazio on the pitch for the Europa League (and a small hope of Champions) Lecce for salvation. The Salentini needed the victory and so they did: the match-winning goal by Coulibaly at 43′ with a relay shot from distance. Stoic the Salentini, in 10 from the second minute of first-half recovery due to Pierotti’s red.

Decisive Falcone with his saves, great the feat of Lecce that closes in 17th position with 34 points thanks to two consecutive successes. Lazio, on the other hand, seventh with 65 points and out of the cups.
Torino-Roma 0-2: l’ultima di Ranieri ma non basta per la Champions
In Claudio Ranieri’s last on the Roma bench, the Giallorossi routed Torino and finished fifth with 69 points, one length behind fourth-placed Juve, “to blame” for last week’s loss. The Giallorossi harbored Champions League hopes and took the lead on 18′ through Paredes’ penalty.
Against a Torino side that has nothing more to ask from the league, the Giallorossi doubled the score at 53′ with Saelemaekers and closed out the match. In the final minutes for Hummels, who announced his retirement from playing soccer. The Grenadians close at 44.
Udinese-Fiorentina 2-3: show viola ed arriva l’Europa
Upsets and twists in Udine, in the last game of the Pozzo management before the sale to a U.S. fund. The Friulians, already safe for some time, open the scoring with Lucca at 26′. At 39′, however, they remain in 10: red to Bijol that changes the match. In the second half Fagioli made the opening 2-2, then 11′ later at 57′ it was Comuzzo who completed the comeback with the 2-1 goal.

The Viola would be in Europe but Kabasele had other plans and in the 62′ made it 2-2. Fiorentina needed a goal for the Conference and it came on time from its bomber, Moise Kean, who closed out the challenge with the final 3-2 goal in the 82′. And so Fiorentina hooks Lazio in the standings in sixth place but overtakes them because of the advantage in direct clashes.
Venezia-Juventus 2-3: bianconeri all’inferno e ritorno
Venezia for the last and residual hopes of salvation, Juventus for fourth place. At the Penzo, however, what you least expect happens after just two minutes of play. Fila, the bomber who arrived in January, pierces Di Gregorio for the Venezia lead. Juve equalizes in 5′ with Alberto Costa but the goal is disallowed for a hand foul.
Right now the Bianconeri would be out of the Champions League but Juve put things back on track at the turn of the half-hour mark. At 25′ Yildiz with a great goal gives the 1-1 then at 31′ Kolo Muani reverses it. It seemed done but Venezia did not give up and at 55′ Haps made it 2-2. The beginning of the drama for Juve but Locatelli at 73′ scores the 3-2 by converting the penalty awarded for a foul on Conceiçao by former Juve Nicolussi Caviglia. Juve fourth and in Champions, Venezia in B after only one season.
