Thus, they will be able to play the third qualifying round of the Champions League, with which Monaco returns to the best club competition in the world after two seasons.

Meanwhile, Gary Medel and Erick Pulgar also saw action in Serie A. The “Pittbull” returned to the starting line, after being absent for a long time due to injuries. Unfortunately, Bologna fell 1-4 at home to Juventus. Gary, curiously, played central, won yellow at 43 ‘and was substituted at 57’. His squad finished the league in 12th position with 41 points.
During the season it has been speculated that he would leave the team led by Sinisa Mihajlovic to return to South America, however no official information has emerged.
On the other hand, Erick Pulgar also started in the goalless draw between Fiorentina and the relegated Crotone. The Antofagasta midfielder played until 46 ′ and was replaced by the Spanish Borja Valero. Judge Eugenio Abbattista admonished him at 25 ‘.
The “Fiore” ended a season to be forgotten, placing it far from European positions, that is, in 13th place with 40 points.
The case of the former UC central midfielder is similar to that of Gary Medel. Throughout the season it has been announced that Pulgar would be being polled by La Liga teams. According to information, it would be claimed by the casts of Seville, but no specific information has come out either.
For now, the crusaders will have to focus on La Roja, as it is their turn to face Argentina and Bolivia on a date that will be decisive to mark the future of Chile on the way to Qatar 2022.
