Milan and Juventus struggle in Europe as Italy seeks Champions League spot

Summary

Italian clubs Milan, Juventus, and Atalanta faced setbacks in the Europa League and Conference League this week. Juventus drew 2-2 against Rennes, while Milan lost 3-0 to Bournemouth and Atalanta fell 2-0 to Ajax. These results come after a strong showing by Italian teams in the Champions League, where Napoli, Roma, Como, and Inter secured victories. Despite some success, Italy's hopes for an additional Champions League spot for the 2027-28 season remain uncertain, as they sit in ninth place in the UEFA Season Association Coefficient, although their average score improved to 6.500 after recent matches.
