Totti ruins Maldini's big day, Lecce relegated
MILAN (Reuters) - Francesco Totti's freekick gave AS Roma a thrilling 3-2 win at AC Milan on Sunday to seal a Europa League spot and ruin Paolo Maldini's last home appearance before retirement.
Milan, who dropped to third after Ciro Ferrara's Juventus won 3-0 at Siena, will visit fourth-placed Fiorentina in the last game of the season next Sunday which could decide who takes the final automatic Champions League spot.
Fiorentina equalised late on to draw 1-1 at Lecce and condemn the hosts to relegation while also sealing fourth spot and a Champions League qualifying berth.
Fifth-placed Genoa, who won 3-2 at relegation-threatened Torino in a bad-tempered clash, are three points behind Fiorentina but have a worse head-to-head record so cannot overtake them next weekend.
