A marathon of thirty-eight games to finish in fifth place. Now Cagliari is preparing for the real final rush, the playoffs that will start on Saturday at the Domus against Venice (time to be established and which should be made official on Monday), a one-off challenge that will allow the qualified team to meet in the semifinal, with the first leg and back Parma, fourth classified.

Ranieri gave the rossoblù two days of rest, making an appointment for the resumption of training on Monday afternoon in Asseminello. The decision to spare the cautioned players in Cosenza paid off, given that Goldaniga, Makoumbou, Nandez and Luvumbo will be regularly available against Venice (only the last two were used in the second half). On the injury front, however, with Capradossi and Falco out, Millico's conditions will have to be assessed, forced to take a forfeit due to an ankle contusion remedied during the pre-Cosenza finishing.
