There were many calculations in the fight for a place in the Champions League, even more so when it comes to the battle for survival, and the most important thing is that Nikola Krstović and Lecce secured survival in the last round of Serie A.

The Montenegrin international assisted on Koulibaly's goal in the 1-0 win over Lazio in Rome, leaving Adam Marušić's team - who were on the pitch in the first half - without a place in the Conference League. Although they were chasing a place in the Top 4 until a few rounds ago...

Lazio will therefore not be playing on the European stage next season, the last place was "grabbed" by Fiorentina with a 3:2 triumph in Udine. Mojze Ken brought it to them.

Along with Lecce, Parma also survived in the league (they won 3:2 in Bergamo despite losing 2:0 to Atalanta), and in Serie B, along with the previously relegated Monza, Venezia and Empoli are moving.

Venice had a tough job in the last round, they needed a triumph at home against Juventus, they had a 1:0 lead, but in the end they faltered - the giants celebrated 3:2, and Locatelli secured the three points from the penalty spot (Vasilije Adžić was on the bench).

The "Old Lady" thus preserved fourth place for the Champions League, surpassing Roma despite unreal progress under the leadership of Claudio Ranieri.

The victory over Torino (2:0) brought the "wolf" "only" a ticket to the Europa League, where Bologna will also go as the Cup winner.
