Inter have won the Coppa Italia and Scudetto, meaning that the teams in fifth and sixth in Serie A will qualify for the Europa League, and seventh enters the Conference League.

The Nerazzurri were the favourites this evening at the Stadio Olimpico and duly swept Lazio aside 2-0 in the Coppa Italia Final.

It allowed them to complete The Double, but also has a significant knock-on effect for several other teams.

Coppa Italia not worth Europa League spot

Whoever wins the Coppa Italia then qualifies for the Europa League in the following season, but Inter are already in the Champions League.

With that in mind, rather than fifth place in Serie A going to the Europa League and sixth the Conference League, the qualifying spots are expanded.

Now fifth and sixth both enter the Europa League, and seventh is valid for the Conference League.

This is particularly important for Atalanta, who seem to be almost certain to take that seventh place and therefore qualify for UEFA competition.

It also means Roma are at the very least sure of qualifying for the Europa League.
