The curtain falls on the 2024-2025 Serie A season, after Napoli won the Scudetto on Friday by beating Cagliari 2-0 . Today's main verdicts see Juventus take fourth place and the Champions League, while Empoli and Venezia are relegated.
Juventus suffers a lot, but wins 2-3 in Venice and closes Serie A in fourth place: they will participate in the next Champions League, as has been the case continuously since the 2012-2013 season. For the orange-black-greens - who only needed to win to have any hope of salvation - it is not enough to go ahead in the 2nd minute with Fila and equalize at the beginning of the second half with Haps, it is a penalty by Locatelli (awarded for a foul by former Nicolussi Caviglia on Conceição) that closes the accounts in the 73rd minute . Therefore, Roma's 0-2 in Turin is not enough: for Claudio Ranieri his career on the bench ends like this, with the granata who celebrated him with a plaque and a video on the big screens before the match.
The other relegated team, in addition to Venezia, is Empoli, who - compared to a year ago - are now finding the last day of Serie A hard to stomach. The 1-2 defeat at home to Verona was fatal for the Tuscans, with Hellas overtaking Cagliari with this result, who finished fifteenth . Marco Giampaolo's Lecce made a great feat: they conquered the Olimpico (0-1 with Lazio) and were saved despite being reduced to ten men for a half due to Pierotti's double yellow card. Parma also reached this milestone, overturning the result from 2-0 to 2-3 against Atalanta with a decisive goal in the 91st minute by Ondrejka, who had also previously equalised. The Bergamaschi were calm in third place, with the fans displaying an eloquent banner: «Gasperini go and renew your contract», loudly calling for an extension for their coach.
In the Europa zone, with Roma and Bologna (thanks to the victory of the Coppa Italia) in the Europa League, it is Fiorentina who conquers the Conference League again . The 2-3 in Udine, with a goal by Kean in the final, allows them to overtake Lazio who remains out of everything together with Milan, who already knew they could not make the cups next season. Serie A 2025-2026 will begin on Saturday 23 August, Friday 6 June (18:30) the presentation of the calendar.
