Bologna returned from Turin Stadium with a “point”, bringing them closer to securing their ticket to the Champions League for only the second time in their history, by drawing with them without goals at the opening of the thirty-fifth round of the Italian Football League.
As a result of Italy obtaining a fifth place in the Champions League, according to the new system of the tournament, Bologna’s dream of participating in the main continental competition for the first time since its first and only experience in the 1964-1965 season is close to being realized, despite being satisfied with the second draw in a row, and the fourth in the last five stages.
Coach Thiago Motta’s team raised its score to 64 points, in fourth place, seven points behind Atalanta, sixth, which still has a chance, because it trails fifth-placed Roma by two points, with one game less than the capital club.
On Monday, Atalanta will play away from home against Salernitana, whose relegation to the second division was decided, while Roma will engage in a fiery confrontation “Sunday” at home against Juventus III.
