The next Champions League reform, the shortlisted teams will be increased from 32 to 36, so the top two countries in the European competition points will get 1 more seats, has been determined to be Italy and Germany, so Serie A will have 5 teams qualified for the Champions League, the eighth team can also participate in the European Association League in the next season.
However, at present, the details of the competition system and the calculation of points are still quite confusing, even the authoritative foreign media and the European Football Association itself are not clear. Italy's Sky Sports reported that UEFA general secretary Giorgio Marchetti has confirmed to them that Serie A has a chance of winning nine European places next season: "If Fiorentina win the UEFA League and finish eighth in Serie A, the team in ninth place will participate in the next UEFA League."
Six teams in Serie A play in the Champions League depending on Atalanta
Atalanta have just beaten Bayer Leverkusen to win the Europa League and secure a place in next season's Champions League. According to UEFA regulations, the additional Champions League places created by the winners of the Europa League only apply if the team does not finish in the top four. Coincidentally, because of the restructuring of the European competition, Serie A has five places in the Champions League this season.
If Atalanta finish fifth, they will be awarded a place in the next season's Champions League as champions of the Europa League, and the additional fifth place will be transferred to the team in sixth place, that is, a total of six teams can compete in the next season's Champions League; Once Atalanta finish in the top four, Atalanta will qualify for the Champions League by league position, Serie A will maintain five Champions League qualification, and the extra place will go to Benfica.

In short, Atalanta will qualify for the Champions League anyway and will decide whether they can get six places in Serie A. Atalanta are fifth with 66 points from 36 rounds, only two points behind Bologna and Juventus in third and fourth places, and can move up to third place if they win their last two rounds. As Roma finished better than seventh-placed Lazio and worse than Atlanta, they secured sixth place.
Atalanta's final Serie A tie will take place on June 3 against Fiorentina, who have reached the Europa League final, and depending on the result, the final allocation of places in the European competition will also be affected.
