The last round of the 38th round brought an incredible outcome of the fight for the Champions League, in which the giants Milan and Junentus were left without elite competition, and Como and Roma qualified, while Serie A leaves Cremonese, along with Verona and Pisa.
Milan was left without the Champions League on amazing way because he was defeated by Cagliari at San Siro for the first time since 29 years old. For Cagliari, that victory meant nothing but prestige, and it could have been more pronounced than the final 2-1, if Mike Maignan had not miraculously defended his net in several “one-on-one” situations.
Luka Modric played for the first time after cheek bone surgery, and entered the game in the 62nd minute. Milan had the Champions League in the 2nd minute when Saelemaekers gave the home team the lead. However, the guests equalized in the 20th minute through Borrelli, and Jesus Rodriguez brought victory to Cagliari in the 57th minute.
At that moment, Milan could reach the Champions League only if Como doesn’t win away to Cremona, but Cesc Fabregas’ team won convincingly 4-1 and sent the Cremonese to Serie B. Martin Baturina and Ivan Smolčić were in the starting line-up of Com. Baturina played until the 82nd minute, and Smolčić played the entire match.
How is the start of the match Torino – Juventus delayed by an hourdue to the conflict between fans in front of the stadium, “Juve” could only reach the Champions League if Roma did not win in Verona. But that didn’t happen. Malen (56) and El Shaarawy (90+3) took “Vučica” to the Champions League.
Lecce did their part and secured their stay in Serie A with a 1-0 win against Genoa, regardless of the outcome of the game in Cremona.
