Here are the latest results for Serie A Week 25 of the 2025-26 season. The matches are scheduled for Friday 13, Saturday 14, Sunday 15, and Monday 16 February 2026. The latest updates feature live standings, team lineups, and match statistics, including goals, yellow cards, red cards, penalties, and additional information.
👉 Summary: As of Round 25, the Scudetto remains a contest among at least three teams. Inter is currently the dominant leader with 61 points, while AC Milan is in 2nd place with 53 points (and a game to catch up). Napoli follows closely with 50 points, securing the 3rd position, which is 11 points behind Inter. Roma is in 4th place with 49 points, having overtaken Juve, who is in 5th with 46 points. In summary, there’s no time to rest, but Inter is clearly in control with their impressive victories.
AC Milan triumphed at the Arena Garibaldi. Luka Modric netted the decisive goal with a spectacular strike that brought the score to 2-1. This victory marks 23 consecutive league wins for Milan. Their only defeat so far was against Cremonese on Matchday 1. No other team in Europe’s Big 5 leagues can rival Milan’s achievement. Milan holds second place with 53 points and has a game in hand. Pisa, on the other hand, is struggling in 19th place with just 15 points. With this win, Milan reaches 53 points. They could potentially close the gap to eight points behind Inter. Meanwhile, Pisa remains at the bottom of the table with 15 points, tied with Verona.
⚪️🔵 Como 1 – 2 Fiorentina 💜⚜️
Fiorentina secured a victory in the Serie A Week 25 match against Como on Saturday, February 14, 2026, at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium in Como. This win earned Fiorentina three vital points, allowing them to temporarily escape the relegation zone, thanks to goals from Fagioli and Kean, the latter scoring from a penalty. The Viola are now four points clear of the bottom two teams. Como, on the other hand, remains in sixth place in the standings.
⚪️🔵 Lazio 0 – 2 Atalanta ⚫️🔵
Lazio fell apart in front of their home crowd! Atalanta triumphed at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium by securing victory. With 42 points, Atalanta managed to surpass Como, who lost this afternoon to Fiorentina, allowing them to climb into sixth place, while Fabregas’s team still has a game in hand. Conversely, Lazio, with 33 points, risks being overtaken by Udinese in this round, which would drop them to ninth place.
⚫️🔵 Inter 3 – 2 Juventus ⚪️⚫️
The Derby d’Italia was claimed by Cristian Chivu’s Inter, who secured a thrilling 3-2 win over Juventus, strengthening their position at the top of the standings with 61 points, widening the gap over Allegri’s AC Milan. Key goals from Pio Esposito and Zielinski proved crucial, along with an early own goal by Andrea Cambiaso. Despite goals from Cambiaso and captain Locatelli, the Bianconeri fell short. Pierre Kalulu received a controversial red card in the first half. Juventus now sits at 46 points.
⚪️⚫️ Udinese 1 – 2 Sassuolo ⚫️🟢
Sassuolo at the Bluenergy Stadium. They came from behind to beat Udinese, netting two goals within two minutes during the second half. After a nearly flawless first half where the home team dominated following Solet’s goal, the Neroverdi completely turned the match around with goals from Laurientè and then Pinamonti. This victory was vital for Grosso’s squad. In the upcoming round, Sassuolo will take on Verona, while Udinese will go up against Bologna.
🩶❤️ Cremonese 0 – 0 Genoa 🔴🔵
Cremonese and Genoa concluded with a stalemate at the Giovanni Zini Stadium in Cremona. The 0-0 result, which lacks much thrill, keeps both teams at 24 points, three points clear of the 18th position in the standings. Bonazzoli had a significant opportunity at the end, but Bijlow was saved by the post. Up next, Cremonese will face Roma in the capital, while Genoa will welcome Torino at the Ferraris stadium.
🟡🔵 Parma 2 – 1 Hellas Verona 🟡🔵
Parma won at the Ennio Tardini Stadium. They secured a strong yet tightly contested victory, even after having an extra player for nearly 80 minutes. This win propels Parma to twelfth place with 29 points, marking a crucial step in their fight against relegation. In their next match, Parma will face AC Milan away from home. Hellas Verona, on the other hand, fell to their rivals in injury time after a challenging match, where they played most of the game with just ten players due to Orbán’s red card in the 11th minute. Despite their fighting spirit, Verona seems to have suffered another vital defeat in their quest to avoid relegation. They remain at the bottom of the standings with only 15 points, trailing fourth-from-bottom Fiorentina by six points, and will be traveling to Sassuolo for their next game.
🐂 Torino 1 – 2 Bologna 🔴🔵
Bologna achieved a notable win at the Olimpico di Torino Stadium in Turin. Bologna secured a 2-1 victory, earning three points in the league, exactly one month after their previous win on January 15th, which was also an away match against Verona. This victory ended a streak of four consecutive league losses for Bologna, while Baroni’s team continued to struggle. Bologna now has 33 points, placing them in 8th position, tied on points with Lazio. Torino remains in 14th position with 27 points. The breakthrough came in the second half, with a 49th-minute own goal by Nikola Vlašić. However, Vlašić bounced back and equalized in the 62nd minute. Castro netted the winning goal in the 70th minute with an impressive strike.
🔵 Napoli 2 – 2 AS Roma 🟡🔴
Napoli and Roma ended in a 2-2 draw at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. This draw did not benefit either team in their pursuit of the Scudetto. Both teams earned 1 point. Napoli now has 50 points, placing them in 3rd position, which is 11 points behind Inter, who leads with 61 points. Roma sits in 4th place with 49 points, having surpassed Juve, which is in 5th with 46 points. Roma took the lead just minutes into the match , as Zaragoza set up Malen, who scored to put his team ahead. Towards the end of the first half, former Napoli player Spinazzola found the net from long range, thanks to a significant deflection that helped him equalize. Malen stepped up to take a penalty, scoring his second goal and marking his fifth for the Giallorossi. However, the Dutchman’s brace was not sufficient for Gasperini’s team, as they conceded another late equalizer from Alisson Santos, who was assisted by another January signing from Napoli, Giovane.
🔴🔵 Cagliari 0 – 2 Lecce 🟡🔴
Cagliari faced a home loss at the Unipol Domus. Lecce secured the victory in the second half with goals from Israeli midfielder Omri Gandelman and Albanian midfielder Ylber Ramadani. This win is significant for Lecce as they now have 24 points, marking their second consecutive victory. They have moved ahead of Fiorentina, who is now third-to-last in the standings, just three points behind Salento, and are level on points with both Cremonese and Genoa. On the other hand, Cagliari has suffered a second straight defeat but still holds a seven-point cushion above the relegation zone with 28 points.

Understanding the UEFA Champions League Structure
According to UEFA.com, starting this season, the rankings from the league phase will also play a crucial role in determining the seeding for the quarter-finals and semi-finals, in addition to the existing seeding for the knockout phase play-offs and the round of 16, as was the case last season.
In this context, the teams that are seeded for the quarter-finals (i.e., those that finish in the top four at the conclusion of the league phase) will benefit from playing the second leg of their quarter-final match at home, provided they advance that far.
Moreover, the teams seeded for the semi-finals (i.e., those that finish first and second at the end of the league phase) will also have the advantage of hosting the second leg of their semi-final match at home if they reach that level. However, if a seeded team is defeated in any round, the team that eliminates them will inherit their seeding position.

The 2026 edition will be larger than anything the competition has seen before.
Previous tournaments from 1998 to 2022 included 32 nations and 64 fixtures in total. This time, the event expands to 48 participants and 104 matches. Merely trimming the field to 32 sides will already require 72 fixtures, which is eight more than the entire schedule of a 32-team format.
Although three countries are co-hosting, the United States will stage far more than any other nation has ever managed in a single competition. It will host 14 more fixtures than the previous record and 26 more than it did when the event came to its soil in 1994.
The first 27 days of action, from the curtain raiser through the last-32 round, will feature 96 contests without a single rest day. Only one day will stage a solitary clash, and two other days will include two fixtures. All the remaining 24 days will deliver between three and six matches.
By the final week of the group stage, the calendar will be jam-packed. From June 24 to 27, 18 games will be played—more than the entire total of the 1934 edition, which only had 17.
The abandoned plan of three-team groups
Originally, FIFA had considered creating 16 trios instead of 12 groups of four.
That plan would have produced 80 fixtures in total, noticeably fewer than 104. It would also have been simpler to follow, with the two best teams moving straight into the round of 32 to face each other in a clear bracket.
However, every team would only have been assured two matches, not three. More importantly, the structure would have been vulnerable to manipulation. With three-team groups, only three fixtures could be played, and no two at the same time. That meant one team would always complete its games earlier, leaving the final fixture open to scenarios where both sides knew exactly what outcome would secure progress.
The risk of collusion across 16 groups proved too significant, and the plan was eventually dropped despite its more compact design.
The adopted system of 12 groups of four
Instead, the competition will use 12 sections of four, echoing the approach of earlier tournaments such as the 1986, 1990, and 1994 World Cups, or more recent 24-team European Championships.
The formula is straightforward: the top two from each group advance, and they are joined by the eight best third-placed nations to complete the last 32.
It is less tidy than the three-team plan, but it ensures fairness and avoids the controversies that might have arisen otherwise.
The expanded knockout rounds
Once the field has been reduced to 32, the knockout journey follows a familiar path. The difference is simply scale.
Group winners will mostly be paired against third-placed finishers, although four of them will meet runners-up. Meanwhile, the remaining runners-up will be matched against each other.
From there, the tournament progresses in the traditional order: round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final.
For the first time, the eventual champion will need to play eight matches rather than seven, adding one extra step on the road to lifting the trophy.

The 8 seeds will enter the tournament in December, starting from the round of 16:
Bologna
Napoli
Inter
Atalanta
Juventus
Roma
Fiorentina
Lazio
Possible derbies and crossovers in the draw
One of the main novelties of the new calendar is that potential derbies between Serie A teams (Inter-Milan, Roma-Lazio or Juventus-Torino) can only occur in the final, unlike what happened in the last edition when the Milan derby was played in the semi-finals.
The reigning champions Bologna, winners of the last edition against Milan, could start from the round of 16 with an evocative Emilian derby against Parma, with a possible challenge to the Rossoneri in the quarterfinals. Another possible crossover between two recent former finalists is that between Juventus and Atalanta – Juventus won in the 2023/24 edition – which could also take place in the quarterfinals.
Coppa Italia Frecciarossa 2025/26 final: when is it played?
The final of the Coppa Italia Frecciarossa 2025/26 will be held at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on Wednesday 13 May 2026.
