Atalanta End Roma Unbeaten Run Secure Champions League Spot

Atalanta secured qualification for next season's UEFA Champions League by defeating Roma 2-1 at home, ending Roma's 19-match unbeaten run in Serie A. Ademola Lookman opened the scoring early, with Ibrahim Sulemana, coming off the bench, netting the decisive goal in the 76th minute. Bryan Cristante had equalized for Roma, who remain sixth and face an uphill battle to reach the Champions League spots with only two games remaining. Atalanta's victory places them third in the league with a seven-point buffer over fourth-placed Juventus and fifth-placed Lazio, virtually guaranteeing their Champions League spot. Despite Atalanta's earlier struggles at home during the season, their attacking performance in this match was strong, and they have now scored over 100 goals in all competitions this season. The result is also a setback for Roma and their manager Claudio Ranieri, who has been trying to lift the club back into Europe's top competition.
