Lo Scudetto si tinge di Rossonero! Milan campione d’Italia dopo 11 anni

Qualità, grandi battaglie, emozioni e colpi di scena sono stati gli ingredienti di questo campionato di Serie A, concluso domenica con la 38esima e ultima giornata di partite. 

La sfida per lo Scudetto si è prolungata fino a domenica in quanto tra Milan e Inter c’erano solamente due punti di differenza. Il Milan, impegnato a Reggio Emilia contro il Sassuolo, ha dominato vincendo 3-0, tre assist di Rafa Leao, doppietta di Giroud e gol di Kessie, e vincendo il campionato. 

La vittoria dei cugini milanisti significa amaro per l’Inter, che avendo creduto fino all’ultimo è rimasta a bocca asciutta. Mentre il Milan giocava a Reggio Emilia infatti, gli uomini di Inzaghi hanno ospitato la Sampdoria, ormai salva, a San Siro, e il 3-0 rifilato agli uomini di Giampaolo rimane l’unico piccolo tocco di dolce in un’amarissima domenica calcistica per i nerazzurri.

Una volta terminate le partite, i tifosi milanisti hanno invaso Piazza Duomo con bandiere, stendardi e fuochi d’artificio, ed hanno festeggiato nella notte in cui Milano, e l’Italia intera si è colorato definitivamente di Rossonero. 

Ugualmente avvincente alla sfida per lo Scudetto è stata la lotta per la salvezza. Dopo che il Venezia è stato matematicamente condannato alla 36esima giornata, due tra Salernitana, Cagliari e Genoa avrebbero fatto compagnia ai veneziani. 

Dopo una brutta sconfitta con il Napoli alla penultima giornata, il Genoa si è dovuto arrendere ed accettare il proprio fato: la Serie B. Dunque la sfida finale per l’ultimo posto valido per rimanere in Serie A era tra Cagliari e Salernitana, quest’ultimi reduci da 5 risultati positivi e “favoriti”. 

Eppure, la Salernitana è stata travolta dall’Udinese, perdendo 4-0, ma grazie al pareggio tra Cagliari e Venezia, i sardi hanno perso l’ultima occasione per rimanere in Serie A.

L’ultima cosa da decidere, all’ultima giornata, era quali due delle tra Fiorentina, Roma e Atalanta sarebbero andate in Europa. Con Fiorentina e Atalanta a quota 59 punti, e Roma prima di loro a 60, tutto avrebbe potuto cambiare, in quanto la Fiorentina era impegnata in una sfida durissima con la Juventus, mentre la Roma era a Torino contro il Torino e l’Atalanta ha ospitato l’Empoli. 

A Torino la Roma ha vinto 3-0, qualificandosi per l’Europa League e levandosi un grosso peso dal peso in vista della finale di Conference League. La Fiorentina ha invece battuto la Juventus a Firenze per 2-0, sigillando il loro posto in Conference League e chiudendo una difficile stagione per gli uomini di Allegri. L’Atalanta è rimasta fuori da tutto dopo aver perso contro l'Empoli per 1-0 a Bergamo. Una sconfitta simbolo della pessima continuità da parte della squadra di Gasperini questa stagione, particolarmente nelle partite in casa. 

Inoltre, i premi per il miglior portiere, difensore, centrocampista, attaccante, giovane e MVP della stagione sono stati assegnati all’ultima giornata. Rispettivamente, i premi sono stati vinti da Maignan del Milan, Bremer del Torino, Brozovic dell’Inter, Immobile della Lazio, Osimhen del Napoli e Leao del Milan. Tutti decisamente azzeccati. 

The Scudetto is back in Rossonero! Milan win their first league title in 11 years

Quality, great battles, emotions, and twists have been the ingredients for this year’s Serie A, which ended on Sunday with matchday 38. 

The fight for the Scudetto lasted until the very last matchday, given that Milan and Inter were only two points apart. Milan, busy at Reggio Emilia against Sassuolo, bagged three goals in the first half to win them the game and the League. Three assists from Rafa Leao, two goals from Giroud and one from Kessie. 

The victory from the city rivals means agony for Inter, who having believed until the end fell just short of the title. While Milan was at Sassuolo, Inter hosted Sampdoria, already safe, at San Siro, and the 3-0 win by Inzaghi’s men was made useless by Milan’s win, and makes it the only tiny, sweet moment in an otherwise bitter Sunday. 

Once the games ended, the Milan supporters flooded Piazza Duomo and began the celebrations that lasted long into the night, while the sky over Milano and the whole of Italy coloured itself in red and black. 

Equally exciting as the Scudetto battle was the relegation battle. After Venezia was mathematically relegated in matchday 36, it left two more spots to be filled by Salernitana, Cagliari, and Genoa. 
 
After a bad loss to Napoli in the penultimate matchday, Genoa had to accept defeat and accept Serie B football for next year. This left the battle to stay up in the top flight between Cagliari and Salernitana, the ladder coming off of a good string of results. 

However, Salernitana were demolished 4-0 by Udinese, but thanks to a tie between Cagliari and Venezia, the Sardinians sealed their fate, and Nicola’s men clinched safety.

The last thing to be decided on matchday 38 was which two of Fiorentina, Roma, and Atalanta were going to play European football next year. With both Fiorentina and Atalanta level at 59 points, and Roma just ahead at 60, anything could have changed. Fiorentina was busy with Juventus, while Roma traveled to Turin to play Torino and Atalanta hosted Empoli. 

Roma got the job done by winning 3-0 and qualifying for the Europa League ahead of their Conference League final. Fiorentina, against all odds, walked over Juventus and won 2-0, securing Conference League football and ending off a difficult season for Allegri’s men. Atalanta missed out on everything after losing 1-0 to Empoli at home, a result symbol of the struggles in consistency that have hit Gasperini’s squad this season. 

The awards for best keeper, defender, midfielder, striker, young player, and MVP were also given out during this last matchday. Respectively, they were won by Maignan of Milan, Bremer of Torino, Brozovic of Inter, Immobile of Lazio, Osimhen of Napoli, and Leao of Milan. No controversy over these decisions.
