Will Italy have the fifth team in the Champions League? To date, yes, but after the excellent Tuesday with the victories of Atalanta, Inter and Milan, there was a sudden slowdown with Juventus’ draw and Bologna’s defeat. And at the same time, Benfica’s comeback victory on Monaco’s pitch which shortens the gap between us and Portugal. It’s up to Roma, Lazio and Fiorentina to reiterate their distances. Complicated round for the Giallorossi, playing in London against Tottenham. Biancocelesti who can continue their winning streak, at home against the Bulgarians of Ludogorets. Viola who on paper are largely favourites, against the Cypriots of Paphos. Not very easy rounds for the Portuguese: Anderlecht-Porto and Braga-Hoffenheim in the Europa League; Astana-Vitoria Guimaraes in Conference League.
