SOC:Como pips Milan, Juventus for Champions League spot

Como's remarkable rise has continued in Italy as Cesc Fabregas' team qualified for the Champions League along with Roma on the final day of the Serie A season.

AC Milan and Juventus missed out, while Cremonese were relegated.

Como, who have never participated in any European competition in their 119-year history, were playing in the fourth division just seven years ago.

Four teams were fighting for the final two Champions League berths in the final round.

Milan and Roma were in pole position as they occupied the third and fourth spots. They were level on points, two above Como and Juventus.

While Roma managed to win 2-0 at already-relegated Hellas Verona on Sunday (Monday AEST), Milan lost 2-1 at home to Cagliari. That saw the Rossoneri leapfrogged by Como, who won 4-1 at Cremonese.
