ROME – For the second consecutive year the last two Champions League places could be decided by direct confrontations. If Juventus and Naples are now sure of participating in the next edition, a more complex situation regarding the last two boxes available: in fact, there are six teams that can still hope and, in some cases dream, to participate in the most fascinating and rich European competition .

As we said the ranking , five days from the end, from the third downwards reads: INTER (61), MILAN (56), ATALANTA (56), ROME (55), TURIN (53), LAZIO (52).

The regulations of the Serie A in fact provide that if two teams arrive at equal points (such as Milan and Atalanta at this time), to determine the ranking the points in direct clashes are taken into consideration first. In case of further parity, the discriminating factors are: goal difference in direct matches, general goal difference, greater number of goals scored in general, draw. If three or more teams arrive at equal points, the divorced classification will be considered, drawn up exclusively on the basis of direct clashes between the teams involved.
