Atalanta and Reggina face a two-legged relegation playoff after a dramatic
finale which saw four teams locked on 38 points at the foot of Serie A. Rare
away wins for both teams were not enough to guarantee survival as Modena and
Empoli also finished on 38 points. Torino, Como and Piacenza had already been
relegated.
Parma and Udinese qualified for the Uefa Cup at the expense of Chievo, who fell
to a dramatic 4-3 defeat to champions Juventus despite a hat-trick from Oliver
Bierhoff. Inter Milan finished second although they could only draw 2-2 at home
to Perugia, qualifying automatically for the group stage of next season's
Champions League.
AC Milan, who face Juventus in the Champions League final on Wednesday, fielded
several youth team players and fell to a 4-2 defeat away to
Piacenza. Milan finished in third place ahead of Lazio, who also have a place in
the qualifying round for the Champions League despite falling to a 2-1 defeat at
Udinese.
