The goal for Italy is to ensure that the fifth-placed team in Serie A also qualifies for the Champions League next season, similar to what happened with Bologna just a few months ago. Italy, boasting one of the favourites to win the Champions League according to bookmakers’ odds, currently holds the second place in this special ranking, behind England and ahead of Spain.
