How Serie A Could Have Eight Clubs in Europe Next Year

Serie A will have the chance to take home the top three continental competitions for the second time in its history. The potential triumphs would have meaningful ramifications on the standings and next season as well.

As Calcio e Finanza points out, this year’s success could lead to five representatives in the Champions League and eight overall in the three cups. The first part hinges on Roma. It would occur if they beat Sevilla and finished outside of the top four.

Instead, the second element depends on Fiorentina. It would happen if they defeated West Ham in the European Conference League and lost to Inter in the upcoming Coppa Italia final. Both victories would grant access to the second-tier cup. However, if they succeeded domestically, they would replace a team and not be added to the lot.

There are also two possible scenarios where Serie A wouldn’t have any side in the third continental competition. It would be the case if the Giallorossi won Europa League and Fiorentina the Coppa Italia, or if Roma came out on top but finished seventh and Inter prevailed next Wednesday.

Our Take on the Serie A Table

Things are headed toward an extremely chaotic finish considering these combinations and Juventus’ likely point deduction, which could realistically place them near Roma, Milan, and Atalanta, further spicing things up. Given their recent formations and some dings and bruises, the Giallorossi have prioritized the Europa League. José Mourinho’s track record made the gamble easier to justify, but they will meet their match given Sevilla’s familiarity in such a tournament.
