The Italian League is still one of the top five European leagues. It’s just that, their prestige is still inferior to the Premier League and Spanish League.
Apart from that, quite a lot of people consider the Italian League to be boring or monotonous. Plus the rare names of great players.
However, the Italian League can show its quality in the 2022/2023 European competition. This is proven by the presence of three representatives in the finals of different blue continent competitions.
Inter Milan became Italy’s representative in the top party of the Champions League this season. La Beneamata -nicknamed Inter Milan- successfully eliminated AC Milan 3-0 on aggregate in the semifinals.
Furthermore, Lautarpo Martinez et al will face Manchester City. Inter last won the Champions League in the 2009/2010 season.
Meanwhile, AS Roma represented Italy in the 2022/2023 Europa League final. The Giallorossi -AS Roma’s nickname – succeeded in silencing Bayer Leverkusen with an aggregate of 1-0.
However, Roma will face a difficult opponent in the Europa League final, which is against Sevilla. Los Nervionenses -Sevilla’s nickname- is the holder of the most Europa League titles, namely six times.
Meanwhile, Fiorentina represented Italy in the final of the Europa Conference League this season. La Viola-nicknamed Fiorentina-walked after winning 4-3 on aggregate over FC Basel in the semifinals.
Italy last had three representatives in the final of a European competition in 1997/1998. At that time, Inter faced Lazio in the UEFA Cup (before changing their name to the Europa League) and Juventus in the Champions League.
