Carlo Ancelotti ended weeks of speculation to become Chelsea manager this morning, and his reign at AC Milan ended on a high note yesterday with a 2-0 win at Fiorentina meaning Milan clinch the final Champions League spot ahead of the Viola. Kaka broke the deadlock 10 minutes into the second half and substitute Alexandre Pato sealed the victory in the 75th minute. Their city rivals had of course already wrapped up the Scudetto but they were pushed all the way in their final game by Atalanta. Sulley Muntari and Zlatan Ibrahimovic ensured Inter were 2-1 up within 12 minutes, with Cristiano Doni nabbing the equaliser. Luca Cigarini and a second from Doni gave Atalanta the lead but Esteban Cambiasso levelled and Ibrahimovic scored his 25th of the season two minutes later. Ibrahimovic ends the season as top goalscorer in Serie A, with one more than Diego Milito and Marco Di Vaio.
Two goals from Vincenzo Iaquinta saw Juventus pip Milan to second spot at home to Lazio, while Genoa finish 5th after crushing Lecce 4-1. Inter-bound Diego Milito scored twice in that game, which sees Lecce finish bottom by a point. Roma squeezed past Torino thanks to a late penalty from Francesco Totti after Jeremy Menez and Mirko Vucinic had earlier got on the scoresheet, while Udinese end the season in 7th after a crushing victory over Cagliari. Three goals in five minutes from Kwadwo Asamoah, Simone Pepe and Antonio Floro Flores gave the hosts a convincing lead within the first 15 minutes. Robert Acquafresca's penalty and Andrea Parola's 57th-minute goal gave Cagliari hope but Giovanni Pasquale scored a minute later before Fabio Quagliarella and substitute Odion Jude Ighalo capped off a brilliant game for Udinese.
Elsewhere, Napoli beat Chievo 3-0 thanks to goals from Francesco Montervino, Mariano Bogliacino and Joao Inacio Pia . Outgoing Sampdoria coach Walter Mazzarri saw his side fight back from two goals down to snatch a point at Palermo. Fabrizio Miccoli and Davide Succi had given the hosts the lead but Giampaolo Pazzini pulled one back in first-half stoppage-time and Marius Stankevicius scored the equaliser. Bologna secured Serie A football for another season with a 3-1 victory over Catania. Nicola Mingazzini gave the hosts the perfect start in the fifth minute and Claudio Terzi doubled their lead before Takayuki Morimoto pulled one back for Catania five minutes into the second half. But top goalscorer Marco Di Vaio eased their nerves by restoring their two-goal advantage in the 68th minute.
Team of the season and a season review to follow.
