"Lega Serie A like games in the final two rounds to kick-off at the same time if there are teams whose results impact each other, such as in the fight for the title (as with Inter and Napoli's matches last season), the top four and the relegation battle."
"On Monday night, it was officially communicated that the games in round 37 involving the teams fighting for the Champions League places would be played simultaneously at 12:30 CEST on Sunday. Problem solved, right? Apparently not, because reports then surfaced on Tuesday claiming that the Rome Prefecture had moved to block the derby between AS Roma and SS Lazio being played at the same time as a tennis final is taking place, due to public order concerns."
"It's better to play the derby on Monday. It's better for everyone, including us, who have an extra 24 hours of rest. But also because I believe the four teams playing for €80 million in the Champions League shouldn't be playing at 12:30 on Sunday,"
Lega Serie A planned to start the final two rounds simultaneously to prevent scheduling advantages when results affect each other, including title, top-four, and relegation races. Round 37 matches involving Champions League contenders were set to be played at 12:30 CEST on Sunday. A later report claimed the Rome Prefecture blocked the Roma-Lazio derby from being played at the same time as a tennis final due to public order concerns. Maurizio Sarri said the derby should be played on Monday, arguing it benefits all parties and provides an extra 24 hours of rest. He also said Champions League teams should not play at 12:30 on Sunday.
