With the top teams out of the league, it's important to turn to which team will represent Italy in the Cup Winners' Cup next season.

According to UEFA's original rules, if the winner of the Coppa Italia qualifies for next season's Champions League, qualification for the Cup Winners' Cup will be passed to the team that finishes as runners-up. If the runners-up also qualify for the Champions League, the spot will be extended to the other two teams eliminated in the semi-finals.

All in all, the recursive rule is that the Champions Cup takes precedence over the Cup Winners' Cup, which in turn takes precedence over the League Cup, and as long as one of the four clubs does not qualify for the Cup, then the Cup Winners' Cup is a place for it.

And this season, although the Coppa Italia final has not yet begun, with the teams in the last four of the cup all likely to qualify for the Champions League (Fiorentina, Lazio, Inter Milan and AC Milan respectively), the ownership of the right to participate in the Cup Winners' Cup has suddenly become quite awkward. After all, the Winners' Cup is obviously a lot less profitable than the huge benefits that can be gained by participating in the Champions Cup, so naturally no one would be foolish enough to put the Champions Cup aside and choose the Winners' Cup with fewer benefits.

But fortunately, under Zhuang Mingge's reminder, Beckenbauer's UEFA has long been prepared to deal with this. Ahead of the start of the season, UEFA introduced new additional rules to the top leagues in terms of European points totals to prevent this from happening.

To put it simply, if all four teams in the semi-finals of the cup qualify for the Champions Cup, then unfortunately, the bottom team in the league will automatically lose their place in the Champions Cup and qualify for the Cup Winners' Cup! As for the Champions Cup qualification that belongs to it, it will continue to be postponed to the teams that are behind it.

Although this may seem unfair, there is no absolute fairness in this world, and this is also the decision made by all the delegates after careful consideration! Moreover, before announcing this decision, UEFA also specifically consulted the representatives of the clubs of the four major leagues (after all, this rule is mainly set for them), and received a positive answer.

Therefore, Inter fans actually missed one thing, and that is that even if Fiorentina beat Valencia in the Champions League final, Champions League qualification has nothing to do with the Nerazzurri's eight poles, because no matter how you count it, Inter Milan, the lowest ranked of the four teams, must go to the Cup Winners' Cup......

Incidentally, although some members of the Executive Committee proposed to cancel the establishment of the Cup Winners' Cup at the meeting, this opinion was quickly suppressed by the other members of the Executive Committee - after all, the Cup Winners' Cup has a history of nearly 30 years since its inception, and although the quality of its competition is not as good as before the expansion of the Champions Cup, the influence is still above the original League Cup, so the choice to cancel this event is simply a brain-dead move.

Let's talk about a few unlucky ones who were unfortunately relegated: Piacenza, Cagliari and Venezia, the three lowest-ranked teams, said goodbye to Serie A; As for Torino, who are fourth from bottom in the league, they will have to play two play-off games against the fourth-placed team in Serie B to decide whether they can still play in the league next season.

At the same time, with the relegation of Venezia, the core of the team, Mutu, has naturally become the favorite for all kinds of giants to compete for. Because everyone knows very well that with the current fame and strength of the Romanian striker, he will never accompany Venice to play in the second division, so Mutu's departure is only a matter of time.

In addition to Mutu, people like Regina's Sierra Leone striker Caron, Bari's homegrown talent Cassano, and Udinese's Danish international Martin Jorgensen have also become the target of competition from various teams with their outstanding performances.

Considering that funds are being raised, and clubs such as Inter Milan and Lazio are ready to make a big splash in the summer, it is foreseeable that this year's Italian summer transfer market will still stage a wonderful play!

After talking about the final ranking of the Serie A standings, let's now take a look at another list, that is, the league scorer list that fans are most concerned about in addition to the team's league ranking.

As last season's Serie A Golden Boot, Christian Vieri has lived up to expectations with 21 league goals this season, and although there is a certain gap from last season's 30 goals, it is also a number of top strikers. After all, you can't always expect Vieri to be in the same form as those protagonists with systems or anti-sky skills, and he can easily score seventy or eighty goals every season, which in itself is neither scientific nor realistic.

Ronaldo and Inzaghi are in a similar situation to Vieri, and their league goals tally this season have also shrunk by a much larger margin than the latter – the aliens, who have missed since April through injury, have only scored 12 goals, and the lack of playing time and Champions League matches is the main reason for the Aliens' lack of goals this season; Inzaghi has been a bit better than Ronaldo, scoring 14 goals in his limited playing time this season as a super-substitute under Heynckes, which is nothing short of efficient.

Among Fiorentina's four strikers, Shevchenko, who has just landed in Serie A, played the best, and when Ronaldo was reimbursed for the season due to injury, Ukraine's nuclear warhead table was extremely good, scoring goals in the last few rounds of the league, helping Fiorentina, who was not in good form in the domestic arena, to score a lot of points. If it weren't for Shevchenko's goals, Fiorentina would have been overtaken by Lazio long ago, and it would have been impossible to maintain the advantage until the last round, or the last minutes before the end of the game!

In the end, with a steady and efficient performance in the league this season, Shevchenko snatched the Serie A Golden Boot with 24 goals from a well-known goalscorer, and was lucky to receive a heavyweight individual honor in his first season after landing on the Apennine Peninsula!

Behind the Ukrainians are Batistuta and Crespo, who are currently in a fierce battle for the position of the main center forward of the Argentine national team, but in terms of numbers, they are tied for second place in the scorer list with 22 goals.

After these three, Vieri is fourth with 21 goals, Torino goalscorer Ferrante and small plane Montella (18 goals) are tied for fifth, and C. Lucarelli effectively fills the void left by Luca Toney and is seventh with fifteen league goals!

Despite the problems exposed during the season, and the league title that he had held for five years was also taken away by the Blue Eagles, Heynckes' first season in charge of Fiorentina was generally underwhelming.
