Udinese Calcio, Atalanta BC reach the Champions League as Inter Milan lose to Bologna
Serie A news: Sensational results on the final day saw shock results as Udinese and Atalanta qualified for the Champions League
Udinese and Atalanta have clinched the final two Champions League spots in Serie A after a dramatic final day of the season.
Udinese's 4-0 win over Salernitana, coupled with Inter Milan's surprise 3-1 defeat to Bologna, saw the Bianconeri leapfrog the Nerazzurri into fourth place.
Atalanta also took advantage of Inter's slip-up, as they secured a 1-0 victory over Empoli to finish in fifth place.
Udinese
Udinese's triumph is a remarkable achievement for a club that was only promoted back to Serie A in 2019.
Under the guidance of manager Andrea Sottil, Udinese have played an attractive and attacking brand of football this season.
They have also been boosted by the goals of Gerard Deulofeu, who has netted 13 times in the league.
Atalanta
Atalanta's qualification for the Champions League is also a major achievement, as they have now qualified for Europe's premier club competition for the fifth time in the past six seasons.
Manager Gian Piero Gasperini has once again worked wonders with a limited squad.
Atalanta have been particularly impressive in attack this season, with Luis Muriel and Duvan Zapata scoring 15 and 13 goals respectively.
Inter Milan
Inter Milan's failure to qualify for the Champions League is a major disappointment for the club.
The Nerazzurri have won the Scudetto in each of the past two seasons, but they have struggled to maintain their form this campaign.
Manager Simone Inzaghi has come under pressure in recent weeks, and his position could be in jeopardy if Inter fail to win the Coppa Italia final against Juventus on Wednesday.
