‘Someone has to stay out’, says Lippi on top-four battle
Former Italy manager Marcello Lippi insists there will be a exciting battle for the Champions League qualification as three teams are fighting for two top-four spots.
The World Cup winner expressed his opinion about the current form of the three clubs and said Atalanta are fighting to finish second in Serie A.
“I’m sorry that someone has to stay out,” Lippi said, according to TMW. “There are some teams that have done very well in the last few games.
“Look at Napoli, Milan, Juventus, they have shown that they have recovered. Let’s see who will stay out.
“If all three win, Juventus remain out, let’s see what happens. Atalanta have the chance to finish second in Serie A after the disappointment in the Coppa Italia, it will be a tough game.”
