Milan’s Inter footballers defeated Atalanta in the final round of the Italian A-series on Saturday, finishing second in the championship, third place Atalanta, Rome’s Lazio left blank after a loss to Naples, and the league’s sniper record was repeated. Siro Immobile from Rome’s “Lazio”, with 36 goals scored, has also become the richest football player on the European continent.
Immobile has thus won the “Golden Kiss” award, which is presented to the best goal scorer of the season in Europe every year, ahead of Munich “Bayern” forward Robert Levandowski with 34 “goals”. He is the first Italian footballer since the legendary Francesco Totti to win the European “bombers” race. Totti won the award back in 2007.
In the Lazio championship, he finished fourth with the same number of points as Atalanta, but with a worse balance of games. When the season resumed on June 20, the Rome club was fighting for the title of champion, only one point behind “Juventus”.

Atalanta, led by Antonio Konte, saw the end of a series of 17 unbeaten games that began after a loss on January 20 against the league’s last SPAL.
Already next week, Milan footballers have to play with the Spanish “Getafe” in the European League.
Danilo d’Ambrozio made a superb strike after 20 minutes with a shot straight in front of the goal after a long ball through the middle, but one of the visitors’ defenders got a foot in at the last second and warded it off for a corner.
Atalanta, which meets with Paris-Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals of the Champions League on August 12, finished third for the second consecutive season.
They succeeded thanks to “Napoli”, which beat the Bergamo club’s competitors in the field for the bronze medals in Rome “Lazio” with 3: 1 (1: 1).
At the end of the season, “Juventus” suffered the third loss in four games, conceding “AS Roma” 1: 3 (1: 2).
Juventus had already celebrated their ninth league title in a row and are preparing for the Champions League quarter-final response against Lyon’s Olymigue next Friday, when Mauricio Sarri has to play a 0: 1 deficit in the first game.
Christian Ronaldo was given a break in his last match, and in the fight against fifth-place winners from Rome, who had already secured a Europa League group tournament the following year, Sarri had even threatened to let the club’s U-23 team off the field when his tired team visited the previous match. Cagliari gave up 0: 2.
Argentine Igvains revealed the result in favor of “Juventus” in the fifth minute, but the guests responded to the 52nd minute with three accurate programs performed by Nikolas Kaliniča and Diego Peroti, who scored the first of their two goals in the game with an 11-meter shot.
