Cesc Fabregas orchestrated Como's fairytale finish to the Serie A season, securing the club's first-ever Champions League qualification with a commanding 4-1 victory over already-relegated Cremonese. The match descended into chaos late when three players were sent off in the 72nd minute, with two substitutes seeing red for the home side. Fabregas, 39, has transformed a club purchased by Indonesian investors in 2019 from Serie D to European competition.

Meanwhile, AC Milan suffered a devastating collapse at home against mid-table Cagliari, losing 2-1 and falling to fifth place. The defeat condemned Christian Pulisic and his teammates to the Europa League despite earlier title aspirations. Milan fans loudly booed their team as they missed out on Champions League football by a single point to Como, marking a bitter end to their campaign.

Roma's 2-0 win over Verona propelled them to third place and Champions League qualification, leapfrogging both Milan and Juventus. The Turin derby between Juve and Torino was delayed after serious fan clashes left one supporter hospitalized. Juve ultimately settled for the Europa League after drawing 2-2, finishing sixth behind the surging Como and Roma.

The dramatic final day showcased Serie A's unpredictability, with Como's meteoric rise under Fabregas contrasting sharply with Milan's late-season implosion. For a club with 119 years of history but zero European experience, this represents a remarkable achievement that could convince Fabregas to stay amid reported interest from bigger clubs.
