Napoli Seal Champions League Return as Milan Rebound, Roma Win Derby, Juventus Slip

Champions League revenue now hangs on next Sunday's finish.

Overview

  • In simultaneous Sunday noon kickoffs, Napoli beat Pisa 3-0 to clinch a Champions League place.
  • Milan revived their bid with a 2-1 win at Genoa through goals by Nkunku and Athekame, putting qualification back in their own hands for the final round.
  • Roma defeated Lazio 2-0 with a Mancini brace to move into the Champions places, while Juventus fell 0-2 to Fiorentina and now need an unlikely last‑day swing.
  • After the matches, Allegri said Milan still must win next weekend and noted Gerry Cardinale spoke to the squad pregame, while Gasperini said Roma’s target now depends on winning at Verona.
  • Coaches criticized the noon slot as poor planning for traveling fans, even as Serie A requires simultaneous kickoffs in decisive rounds to protect competitive integrity.
