Atalanta is guaranteed to finish at worst in 5th place in the Italian Championship, synonymous with qualification for the next Champions League, thanks to its success against Lecce (2-0) this Saturday during the 37th and before last day. Three days after its defeat in the final of the Italian Cup against Juventus Turin (1-0), the Bergamo club reacted well and signed a fifth consecutive victory in the championship with goals from Charles De Ketelaere (48th) and Gianluca Scamacca (53rd).
Gian Piero Gasperini’s team, with its 66 points and six ahead of Roma, will finish at worst 5th and can still aim for better with only one point behind Bologna (3rd) and Juventus Turin (4th). It will play in the Champions League for the first time since 2021-22 when it was eliminated in the group stage, and for the third time in its history.
But the peak of his season may not have been reached yet. She faces Bayer Leverkusen in Dublin on Wednesday in the Europa League final with the hope of winning the second trophy in its history, 61 years after the 1963 Italian Cup. If she were to beat Bayer Leverkusen, undefeated this season, in the Bundesliga and in Europe, Atalanta would offer Serie A a sixth place in C1 next season, provided that it is no better than 5th in the final ranking.
