Napoli and Juventus qualify for 2022-23 Champions League

Napoli and Juventus have qualified for the 2022-23 Champions League campaign thanks to Roma’s draw with Bologna.

The Partenopei did their job with a 6-1 victory over Sassuolo on Saturday, while Juve saw off Venezia 2-1 this afternoon with Leonardo Bonucci’s brace.

They were one point away from securing their spots in the top four for this season, but Roma got the party started early by failing to get the better of Bologna in a 0-0 result at the Stadio Olimpico.

It is the return of Napoli to the Champions League after a two-year absence, when they were playing in the Europa League.

Juventus confirm a top four finish despite a dismal start to the campaign and now have 69 points after 35 rounds, the same number as Andrea Pirlo achieved in Serie A on the Bianconeri bench last season.

They cannot now be caught by Roma, Lazio or Fiorentina in the table with three rounds still to be played.

Milan and Inter had already guaranteed their Champions League qualification and will fight it out for the Scudetto.
