Italian Serie A 2024/2025

Grande Vecino. I guess I will cheer for Roma at this stage

 

[ElDuccio]

if theres any karma, inter wins the CL and Juve ends the season 5th. I might believe in some kind of god if that happens.

wait.. juve would get that extra CL spot because of Inter winning CL, or not?

no, i dont think so? I think if Inter came 5th, and won the CL, we'd still qualify, but the only way Italy gets a 5th spot is by UEFA coefficient. Im not sure what the story is there now, but I thought we were pretty far behind now


as far as i know, btw, that coming 5th and winning the CL = qualification thing changes every now and then too. I dont know what the rule is now, but doesnt matter for us.

Classic late season vecino

Now that I think about it, Frattesi is like Vecino on steroids.

like all the extremities. fewer passes, better goals

Hey that’s how I called fratessi in the Barca thread

 

[Broseph]

yeah Vecino could whip some decent crosses back in the day. Remember his last minute assist to Icardi in the derby? It was beautiful

 

[Jnr]

Parma losing, with a red card to Valenti in a do or die relegation battle.

They will go to a war next week against Napoli. Just like the doctor ordered!

 

[ElDuccio]

I know the chance are not big, but just in case id like to know: If Inter and Napoi should end with the same points, when do they want to make the playoff final? There are national games after the CL final. And after that there is the world cup i think, teams travel to USA at some point. If they think we can play 2 finals in one week, then i prefer to lose scudetto honestly

 

[Alex de Large]

if roma and rube draw at points for 4th place they also play a game?

no the rule is valid only for the first place

 

[bubba zanetti]

Cmon mister Ranieri you can do it!

 

[Besnik]

Lazio will miss Zaccagni against us, due to card accumulation. Luca Pellegrini will be suspended as well, but Mattia Zaccagni's absence is a huge blow for them.

Hopefully we have something to play for, at least.

Yeah since it's 4 spots max from the league + 1 extra for the two highest coefficients, the 6th placed side won't get to CL unless they win CL or EL.
What I'm not sure happens is if 6th takes the next CL spot if the 5th team wins. I think not, but it could be possible.

What happens though in cases where there's a team that gets qualification for a lesser competition or for the same one it gained via league, is a trickle down effect where the next league gets a favorable placement in qualification, or gets an automatic spot in CL, EL or Conference.

Then they also made this weird thing where it's conditional to the club that gets it rather than the league alone. So Greece has an automatic CL spot due to some events that led to the coefficient and qualified teams and there was some condition where Bodo/Glimt winning Europa League would have deprived the league from that spot. If it were a different champion, it wouldn't be a direct ticket apparently. Or maybe I got lost in translation somewhere, but it was pretty clear from their wording.

These are really played out in football media outlets of these 6-25 range countries as all these developments affect their qualified teams. And typically, the lower ranked the country is, the earlier this is decided, but sometimes the winner of the Conference League has or will have an effect on the lower placed ones.

For Serie A, not so much. Maybe for those who seek Conference League or Europa League entrance.
And this season, there probably won't be any impact on qualified teams from whatever happens in the 3 pending European finals. Only the Coppa Italia final could have an effect, which is business as usual.

 

[Mr-Intermilan]

Napoli will lose tonight, and hopefully we will win.

Napoli will win 4-0

Kevin De Bruyne's wife, Michel Lacroix, has been spotted in Napoli, where she is believed to have been house-hunting.

The 5th spot chance was mathematically gone when Lazio went out. In reality it was gone when bbilan, gobbi and Atalanta bombed in the cl playoffs.

no the rule is valid only for the first place

No rule also applies to relegation. Spezia and Verona had a playoff 2 seasons back for the last spot.

Doesn't apply to European spots.

As table currently stands Lecce and Empoli are heading for a playoff.
