Capello: Roma vs Juve decisive for Champions League spots

Fabio Capello asserts that the upcoming Roma vs Juventus match is decisive for the Bianconeri's Champions League hopes, though less so for the Giallorossi.

Capello argues fewer than 74 points may suffice for Champions League qualification due to tight head-to-head fixtures. He notes a loss for Juventus in Rome would likely widen the gap to the top four, complicating their season.

While Roma risks being the only team playing in Europe, Capello acknowledges this as both a credit and a burden for manager Gasperini, who must manage the squad's energy levels.
