Will Juve qualify for the CL?

Agencies

This has been a remarkable season in Serie A as Inter Milan became the team to finally put an end to Juventus' dominance in the Italian League. Even though Inter have already been crowned champions of Italy, there is still much at stake in the final fixture of this Serie A season.

The focus is on AC Milan, Napoli and Juventus, who are involved in a tight race for a top-four finish that would give them access to next year's Champions League.

Atalanta has clinched Champions League berth with 78 points but Milan (76), Napoli (76), and Juve (75) are interlocked after 37 rounds; the scenarios for what results are needed to take who into the Champions League next season are innumerable.

The Biaconeri will have to win their final game of the season against mid-table Bologna and hope that one of Napoli or AC Milan drop points during the final round fixtures.

For third-placed AC Milan, things will be much more complicated as they Gian Piero Gasperini's Atalanta side away from home on the final match-day. Meanwhile, Napoli, who are currently fourth, also cannot afford a slip up on the final game of the season as they face tenth-placed Verona but on paper, they have a big advantage over Milan considering the fact that they have an easier fixture and that too at home.
