Italian football is experiencing a resurgence on the European stage, with Serie A teams making significant strides in continental competitions. Last night, Atalanta, Roma, and Fiorentina secured spots in the semi-finals of the Europa League and Europa Conference League, earning Serie A an additional place in the revamped Champions League for the upcoming season.
Despite this success, Italy's representation in the Champions League quarter-finals was notably absent this season, with no teams advancing to the last eight. Inter, the dominant force in Serie A, faltered in the round of 16, while Napoli, Lazio, and Milan exited earlier stages of the competition.
