“Goodbye” Motta in Bologna with a defeat… knife for Roma – Difficult 6th team in the Champions League for Italy

With a defeat, it ended its historic course in this year’s Serie A Bolognawhich she lost 2-0 at its headquarters Genoa in the context of the 38th and last competition.

A game that also marked his “goodbye”. Thiago Motta on the “Rosoblu” bench. On Thursday (23/5), moreover, it was announced that he will not continue the new season in their ranks, while he will redeem what he achieved this year with his team – and the historic ticket for the Champions League– with “transfer” to Juventus.

At the same time, this result ended Bologna’s hopes for 3rd place. Of course – having always secured the exit to the Champions League – it can even find itself in 5th, if Atalanta wins at least one of the two remaining matches (both at home against Torino and Fiorentina). Negative development mainly for the 6th Rome. It is recalled that if and only if the “Bergamaski” finished in 5th place, Italy would also produce a 6th team in the top competition.

In the competitive part now, the game was relatively balanced, with the hosts “striking” once in each half, in the 13th minute with Malinovski and in the 59th minute with Vitinia. Basic for Bologna for one more game o Babis Lykogiannis.
