MILITO doubles again, finish one goal short of IBRA

It's funny how it works. I thought Genoa had advance to the next edition of the Champions League on virtue of having a better goal-difference than Fiorentina (both finished behind the Big 3 on 69 points, but Genoa had a +17 to Fiorentina's +15), but since in Italy, everything has to be complicated (otherwise it wouldn't be Italy), it looks like Fiorentina will advance to the Champions League because they defeated Genoa (1-0) at home and managed to get a draw away (3-3), and that is the main tie-breaker.

That's why Juventus clinched second place despite having a worse goal-difference than AC Milan.

A stupid system if you ask me. Teams achieve their final league position once you take into account the points they have gathered against every team in the tournament. The main tie-breaker has always been goal-difference and then, if things remained levelled, you could take the results between the teams in question as the decisive factor.

It wasn't to be this time. Genoa will have a spot in the Europa League (the new name given to the UEFA Cup) as a consolation prize.

It wasn't to be for Diego MILITO either. He finished with 24 goals (31 appearances) and tied for second place in the top-scoring charts with Bologna's Marco DI VAIO (38 games). The two of them were only 9 minutes from sharing the capocannoniere title with Inter's Zlatan IBRAHIMOVIC (who also scored two on Sunday to finish with 25 in 35 matches).

Now MILITO is on his way to Inter (will Zlatan stay?) and he will have his deserved place in a Champions League side, but first, I'm sure the only thing on Diego's mind is to earn himself a place in MARADONA's Argentina.
