Atalanta qualified on Monday for the Champions League by beating Roma 2-1 and mathematically obtaining a place in the top four of Serie A. The strike of Ibrahim Sulemana in the 76th minute to emu Atalanta, in third, seven points ahead of the fifth placed Lazio with two remaining games in the season. The team of Gian Piero Gasperini had only taken an early advance by Ademola Lookman only for the old boy of Atalanta Bryan Cristant to direct the level of Roma in the 32nd minute. But Sulemana put an end to the long race of the undefeated Roma at 19 games and left the team of Claudio Ranieri to a point behind Lazio and Juventus, which is fourth.
Roma can always enter a place in the best club competition in Europe, but welcome the shape of AC Milan next weekend while Juve welcomes Udinese.
Reaching the Champions League would be a huge triumph for Ranieri because Roma looked like candidates for relegation when he got out of his retirement in November to take charge of his childhood club for the third time.
Gasperini was condemned to conquer Ranieri after nine years of success in the Atalanta canoe, winning the Europa League last season.
