Serie A: Champions League surprise as Como joins Roma, Milan and Juve out

The final day of Serie A delivered stunning upsets, with both AC Milan and Juventus failing to secure Champions League qualification. Instead, Roma clinched a spot in Europe's premier club competition with a 2-0 victory against Verona, while Como, in a remarkable turn of events, also earned a Champions League berth.

AC Milan's hopes were dashed after an early lead, scored by Saelemakers, was overturned by Cagliari, resulting in a 2-1 defeat. The team faced boos from their home crowd at San Siro. Juventus also missed out, concluding a disappointing season for the Turin club.

Roma secured their crucial win at Verona thanks to a penalty converted by Dybala and a late goal from El Shaarawy, sealing their Champions League place. The match was influenced by a red card shown to Verona's Valentini in the second half.

Montipò nega il raddoppio a Dybala, ma nel recupero è El Shaarawy, su assist dall'argentino, all'ultima in giallorosso a mettere il sigillo sulla qualificazione in Champions della Roma.

Meanwhile, Como achieved a historic qualification by defeating Cremonese 4-1. Despite Cremonese briefly pulling a goal back, Como secured the win with goals from Jesus Rodriguez and Da Cunha, who scored twice. Lecce also secured their survival in Serie A with a 1-0 win against Genoa.

The final standings see Roma and Como join the already qualified teams for the Champions League, while Milan and Juventus will compete in other European competitions next season. The dramatic conclusion highlights the unpredictable nature of Serie A.

Ma è solo per un momento, perché il pallone finisce a Jesus Rodriguez, il cui destro da fuori - beffardamente deviato da Grassi - finisce in rete.
