The story of the day belongs to Como 1907. Forced to win and rely on favorable results elsewhere, Cesc Fabregas’s men delivered a stunning performance with a 4-1 victory away to an already relegated US Cremonese. Early goals from Jesus Rodriguez and Anastasios Douvikas set the tone, before Lucas Da Cunha netted a late brace—including a controversial penalty and amid a flurry of red cards for the hosts—sealing a result that will be etched in memory on the shores of Lake Como. This victory secures Como 1907 a place in the Champions League, capping a meteoric rise from Serie B in just two seasons.
Meanwhile, disappointment descended on Milan. AC Milan entered their final home game needing a win, but a rampant Cagliari Calcio side had other ideas. Despite an early opener from Alexis Saelemaekers, the Rossoneri succumbed to goals from Gennaro Borrelli and Juan Rodriguez. This 2-1 defeat means Max Allegri’s men, long comfortably in the top four, miss out on the Champions League and finish sixth—a shock that is sure to prompt deep soul-searching at the club.
Elsewhere, SSC Napoli ended their season on a high note, defeating Udinese Calcio 1-0 thanks to a clinical finish from Rasmus Hojlund, expertly set up by a clever pass from Kevin De Bruyne. Despite missing several key players, Antonio Conte’s side showed solidity and professionalism to secure second place and a return to the Champions League, even as Conte’s future in Naples remains uncertain. At the Tardini, Parma Calcio 1913 overcame US Sassuolo Calcio 1-0 in a local derby, with Mateo Pellegrino’s sixth headed goal of the season—the best tally in the league—providing a positive end to the campaign despite doubts surrounding both benches.
The day was also marked by a tense Turin derby between Torino FC and Juventus FC, with the two rivals sharing the spoils in a 2-2 draw, reflecting the fierce rivalry that animates the Piedmont capital. Lower down the table, US Lecce snatched a 1-0 win over Genoa CFC, while AS Roma impressed with a controlled 2-0 victory away to Hellas Verona FC, continuing their strong momentum heading into the new season.
With spectacular twists at both ends of the table and standout individual performances—notably from Mateo Pellegrino, Rasmus Hojlund, and Lucas Da Cunha—this final day of Serie A delivered a finale worthy of the greatest scripts. As the curtain falls, clubs now turn their attention to the summer, where coaching changes, squad rebuilds, and dreams of European glory will once again dominate the headlines.
