The finale of the 2024/25 Serie B League: Samp s first downfall in Serie C in history, and a Serie A team declined twice in a row

On the evening of May 13, local time in Italy, the Serie B held a supplementary match for the 34th round of the league. This round was postponed to the 38th round due to the death of the Pope, and therefore it is also the last round of the Serie B this season.

Before this round of the game, in addition to Cosenza, who was relegated early, there were a total of six teams who were relegated. In this round, Brescia and Mantova came ashore safely after defeating and dating their opponents at home.

In a relegation battle, Hitadra lost 0-2 to Sarenitana at home, locking in the second-to-last position, and Sarenitana entered the relegation play-off.

Frosinone also defeated the league champion Sassuolo 1-0 away and entered the relegation play-off.

With several competitors winning one after another, Sampdoria was the only one who was injured. They did not break the goal of Juvestabia away, and a 0-0 draw made them finally ranked third from the bottom of the standings and will be relegated to the Serie C next season.

The results of each game in this round are as follows:

The final standings of the Serie B League are as follows, and two Italian 2006 World Cup champions, Grosso and Sassuolo and Pisa led by Inzagi, won the championship and runner-up respectively and locked in two upgrade places.

Spezia, Cremona, Juvestabia, Catanzaro, Cesena and Palermo will enter the upgrade play-offs. The first round of the upgrade playoffs is Juvestabia vs Palermo and Catanzaro vs Cesena. The winners of the two groups will face Cremona and Spezia in the semi-finals respectively. The winners enter the finals to compete for the last upgrade place.

The Serie B scorer list this season is as follows. Sassuolo's winger Laurient scored 18 goals to win the top scorer, and he also won the best player in the Serie B this season. Inter Milan's young player Pio Esposito who was loaned to Spezia and Catanzaro veteran Jemero ranked second and third respectively.

As a veteran team in the Serie A small World Cup, Sampdoria won a Serie A championship, four Italian Cup championships, one Italian Super Cup championship and one European Cup winners championship in the 1980s and 1990s. In the 91/92 season, they reached the Champions League final in one fell swoop, but they lost 1 goal in overtime and lost to Barcelona 0-1 to finish the runner-up. In that era, many Italian football celebrities such as Mancini, Viali, Montera, Mannini, Veljoward, Lombardo, Paliuca were introduced from Sampdoria.

Since its establishment in 1946, Sampdoria has played in the Serie A for a total of 66 seasons and played in the Serie B for 12 seasons. She has never been reduced to the third-level league. I wonder if they will be ashamed of playing in Serie C next season and will return to the familiar Serie B and even Serie A as soon as possible.

Sampdoria's fate has been determined. The other two teams Frosinone and Sarenitana will continue to suffer. These two teams, which were still playing in Serie A last season, have been fighting for relegation since they were down to Serie B this season. After both winning in the last round, the two teams overtake Sampdoria and qualified for the relegation play-offs. After two rounds of relegation play-offs, the winner succeeds in relegation and the loser will get the last relegation place (Frosinone will succeed in relegation based on his ranking advantage in the league when the total score is tied). Since both teams have just been relegated from Serie A to Serie B this season, no matter which team is relegated, they will be relegated for two consecutive seasons.
