Champions League zone and relegation, what changes in the Serie A standings. Roma won 2-1 against Udinese thanks to a header from Bryan Cristante which secured the 2-1 victory. An important win, which allowed Daniele De Rossi to keep the race for the Champions League alive. Three points that came after a win in the recovery match against Udinese following the game postponed due to Ndicka's illness. Twenty-five minutes to try to get into the game and achieve a win. However, this plan did not work for Roma, who clung to Cristante's header, one of the trademarks of the former Atalanta number 4.

How the standings change for Roma
This success allows the Giallorossi to remain behind Bologna, closing the gap despite the defeat in the direct clash over the weekend. Due to this game with Udinese, the gap from the Rossoblù had become 7 points, but now it's 4. Zirkzee and his teammates are fourth with 62 points, while the Giallorossi are fifth in Serie A with 58. Thus, the race for the next Champions League remains alive, with the threat of being overtaken by Atalanta being pushed away. The Bergamaschi, in fact, are sixth with 54 points, 4 points behind Roma but have the chance to close the gap in the postponed match against Fiorentina. But when will the game postponed last March 17th due to the - later fatal - illness of the Viola executive Barone take place? Given the commitments of the two teams in the Cups (Bergamaschi in the Europa League and Coppa Italia, Tuscans in the Conference) it becomes very difficult to find a useful date, to the point that the match could be played after the end of the championship.
How the standings change for Udinese
Until the eve of this recovery match, Udinese could hope for a golden point for their standings. In fact, the Friulians had a 1-1 draw in their hands that allowed them to escape the relegation zone. Lucca also came close to scoring the goal that would have given an unexpected victory, but instead, the disappointment came in the end. Thus, Udinese remains at 28 points in seventeenth position, with the same tally as Frosinone eighteenth. If the two teams were to finish with equal points in eighteenth position at the end of the championship, a playoff with home and away matches would be necessary. In case of more teams finishing with equal points, the head-to-head standings would be examined with the best-placed team saved and the last two facing off in the playoffs.
