European football: Como claim vital victory and keep up push for Champions League
"Milan host Atalanta in the day's late match and could be level on points with Roma by the time they kick off at San Siro. Also on Sunday night, Barcelona will seal the Spanish title if they avoid defeat in the home clasico against Real Madrid, while in France Paris Saint-Germain entertain Brest and can move to the verge of the Ligue 1 title."
Como secured a 1-0 win over relegated Verona with Tasos Douvikas scoring in the 71st minute at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi. The result moved Como up to fifth place and tightened the race for Champions League spots, putting pressure on fourth-placed Milan. Como had never previously played European competition and were in Italy’s third tier when acquired by tobacco giant Djarum in 2019. Cesc Fabregas’s side could drop to sixth, which currently offers a Conference League place, if Roma win at Parma later on Sunday. Milan play Atalanta later, with the possibility of being level on points with Roma by kickoff. Elsewhere, Barcelona can clinch the Spanish title by avoiding defeat against Real Madrid, while Paris Saint-Germain can move toward the Ligue 1 title against Brest.
