Bologna almost certainly said goodbye to the third place and could even be relegated to the fifth last position, after closing the season this Friday with a defeat (2-0) in their visit to the field of Genoa. The defeat of Motta’s team leaves Roma with almost no options to enter the Champions League and for Serie A to have six teams in the next Champions League.
A setback that will not spoil the sensational season of the team of Thiago Motta, a former player, among others, of Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid, who sixty years later will compete again in the Champions League.
A victory in which the ‘rossoblu’ wanted to add a third place where Bologna almost certainly said goodbye to the defeat (2-0) they suffered this Friday at the Luigi Ferraris stadium.
As if it was an extension of what happened on Monday, when the Bolognese did not get the victory (3-3) against Juventus that seemed certain after reaching the last quarter of an hour with a 3-0 lead, Bologna seemed to have given up for the season . ending early
A feat Genoa did not waste to end Thiago Motta’s men’s eight game unbeaten streak as visitors thanks to goals from Ruslan Malinovsky and Vitinha.
If in the thirteenth minute the Ukrainian midfielder did not waste a pass from the Spaniard Aarón Martín to open the score (1-0), in the fifty-ninth minute the Portuguese Vitinha definitely sealed the local victory.
Two goals that allowed Genoa, led by Alberto Gilardino, to close the season in a creditable eleventh position, while Bologna could be relegated to fifth by Juventus and Atalanta, with two games more lower than ‘rossoblu’.
