Prior to Atalanta’s win, Italy and Germany had already secured a fifth Champions League spot due to their higher coefficient rating. With Atalanta’s victory, Italy is now poised to earn a sixth UCL place if they can maintain their current fifth position in the Serie A standings.
Roma, who are guaranteed to finish sixth, would then enter the Champions League as the fifth league qualifier.
