Cassano predicts Juventus and Milan will miss Champions League spots

Antonio Cassano, the former Italian striker and current social media commentator, has made a bold prediction regarding the Serie A standings. During his weekly segment on “Viva el Futbol” with Lele Adani and Nicola Ventola, Cassano expressed his views on the Scudetto race, declaring, “Inter is by far the strongest team in Italy right now. Behind them, I place Napoli.” He suggested that Atalanta could achieve a remarkable feat by finishing in the top four but emphasized that winning the title requires additional factors, particularly during the critical months of March and April.

In a surprising twist, Cassano expanded his analysis to include Juventus and AC Milan, predicting that both clubs will miss out on Champions League qualification. “Juve and Milan will remain outside the Champions League zone,” he stated emphatically. Despite Juventus’ active transfer window and Milan’s consistent presence in the top four, Cassano believes they will not secure a spot this season. Instead, he anticipates that Atalanta, Roma, and Napoli will claim the coveted positions.

Cassano’s comments sparked debate among his fellow commentators. Daniele Adani agreed with Cassano on Inter’s potential to win the Scudetto but disagreed about Juventus and Milan’s exclusion from the top four. Adani remarked, “I still believe Milan and Juventus will be contenders for Champions League spots alongside Atalanta and Roma.” Meanwhile, Nicola Ventola offered a contrasting view by naming AC Milan as the favorites for the Scudetto, stating, “Milan has the quality and depth to challenge for the title.”

These differing opinions highlight the competitive nature of Serie A this season, with several teams vying for top honors and Champions League qualification. As Cassano concluded, “The fight for the Scudetto is wide open, but I see Inter as clear favorites.”
