15 May 2021A Roma already out of the Champions race extinguishes Lazio's residual hopes of qualifying for the maximum continental club competition. The Olimpico derby, an advance on Saturday evening of the 37th and penultimate day of the championship, ends 2-0 for the Giallorossi, who rise to 61 points, seventh. Sixth fixed place for the Biancocelesti who remain at 67; even in case of victory in the recovery with Torino, the fourth place is unattainable.

Simone Inzaghi lines up the usual 3-5-2: Reina; Marušić, Acerbi, Radu; Lazzari, Milinković-Savić, Leiva, Luis Alberto, Lulić; Muriqi, Building. Arbitrator Pairetto di Nichelino.
