Como clinched a historic place in the UEFA Champions League after finishing fourth in Serie A, edging out rivals for the coveted European berth.
Roma also secured a Champions League spot, while traditional powerhouses AC Milan and Juventus saw their campaigns end without the European ticket.
The achievement marks a stunning ascent for Como, a club that was playing in Italy’s fourth division just seven years ago, a rise fueled by the financial backing of Indonesian billionaires Robert Budi Hartono and Michael Bambang Hartono.
On the final round of matches, Como defeated Cremonese 4‑1, sealing the qualification, while Roma beat Hellas Verona 2‑0; AC Milan fell 2‑1 to Cagliari and Juventus lost 2‑1 to an unnamed opponent, leaving Milan a point behind Como.
The Final Day Drama
The last matchday delivered a cascade of twists, with head‑to‑head results and goal differences deciding the final standings, and Como’s superior record against Juventus proved decisive.
Meanwhile, Lecce ensured Serie A safety with a 1‑0 victory over Genoa, and Cremonese joined Verona and Pisa in relegation to the second division.
