Today’s Front Page Tutto Sport, Tuesday 24 February 2026

👉The new coach, called upon to avoid Serie B, will be with Torino until June.
D’Aversa, the choice of desperation

After constantly encouraging him, reversing criticism, Cairo also kicks out Baroni and hires the only coach willing to accept the Torino situation: he signs a four-month contract. The fans: when will the president be sacked? 1-0 against Pisa: Fiorentina 3 points behind.

👉Juve

MacKennie shakes his hand.

The American is a key player for Spalletti, won over by his versatility. The backstory of the reopening with Vlahovic. Shocking insults and threats: Di Gregoria seeks serenity. Tomorrow, Galatasaray: Bremer close to a no, Yildiz perhaps a yes.

Italy wants another Olympics

👉Vonn: Relief after the tragedy
“I risked amputation.”

👉Bertolucci explains the difficult moment
“Sinner is in a tight spot, no crisis.”

⚽️ As of Week 26:  The leading scorer is Inter forward Lautaro Martínez with 14 goals. Cremonese midfielder Nico Paz has 9 goals. AC Milan forward  Christian Pulisic, Juventus forward Kenan Yıldız, Como forward Anastasios  Douvikas, Napoli forward R. Højlund follow with 8 goals each.

Italian Serie A
⚫️🟢   Sassuolo 3 – 0 Hellas Verona  🟡🔵

Sassuolo triumphed at the Mapei Stadium against Hellas Verona. Sassuolo has now gathered 35 points. On the other hand, Verona is facing difficulties at the bottom of the table with just 15 points and a concerning goal difference of -27. Andrea Pinamonti and Domenico Berardi, with Berardi scoring after a rebound from a penalty saved by Montipò, secured the three points in the first half, and Berardi added another goal in the second half. Verona was also reduced to ten players since the 85th minute when Al Musrati received a red card for a second yellow. Sassuolo got their second consecutive win, bringing them closer to safety. Sadly for Verona, their chances of remaining in Serie A next season appear quite grim.

⚪️⚫️    Juventus 0 – 2 Como   ⚪️🔵 

Absolutely astonishing, what a downfall, a complete shock! Juventus faced defeat in their home ground in Turin. The harsh truth is that Juventus faltered at the Allianz. The final score was 2-0 in favor of Como, with goals from Mërgim Vojvoda and Maxence Caqueret. Como rightfully celebrated a historic win, reaching 45 points and closing in on Juventus, which has 46 points, and significantly narrowing the gap to the fourth position. It’s hard to swallow, but Juventus has now lost four out of its last five games. The current goal is for Juventus to regroup and attempt a nearly impossible comeback against Galatasaray in the Champions League.

🟡🔴     Lecce 0 – 2 Inter ⚫️🔵  

The Scudetto appears to be within reach for the Nerazzurri! Inter secured victory at the Via del Mare Stadium. Despite facing some challenges, Inter successfully overcame Lecce, thanks to goals from Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Manuel Akanji. Inter currently leads the standings with 64 points. This marks Inter’s ninth consecutive away league victory. Lecce, despite a commendable performance, ultimately falters. The concern is that Lecce is edging closer to the relegation zone, having accumulated only 24 points.

🔴🔵   Cagliari 0 – 0 Lazio  ⚪️🔵 

Cagliari and Lazio ended up in a 0-0 stalemate, with no goals scored at the Unipol Domus. Each team earned 1 point from the match. Cagliari now has 29 points, while Lazio has 34 points. Lazio’s aim to break into the European zone is still quite distant. Como currently holds the 6th position with 45 points, which creates an 11-point gap.

🔴🔵    Genoa 3 – 0 Torino  🐂 
⚫️🔵    Atalanta 2 – 1 Napoli  🔵

Atalanta achieved a remarkable victory by triumphing against Napoli at the New Balance Arena in Bergamo. To add to the significance, Atalanta came from behind with goals from Mario Pašalić and Lazar Samardžić, overcoming Napoli in the second half to secure three vital points for their ascent. In simple terms, Atalanta defeated the reigning Italian champions 2-1, bringing their total to 45 points, while Napoli remained at 50 points.

 🔴⚫️  AC Milan 0 – 1 Parma  🟡🔵 

AC Milan suffered a loss in their home game at the San Siro Stadium. They were expected to respond to Inter’s victory and the losses of Juventus and Napoli, but they were unexpectedly defeated 1-0 by Parma. As a result, Inter stays 10 points ahead of Milan with 54 points, significantly impacting the Scudetto race, while the Rossoneri still hold a 4-point advantage over Napoli, a 7-point lead over Roma, and an 8-point cushion over Juventus. This outcome also allowed Parma to make significant progress in their fight against relegation, bringing their total to 32 points.  Parma’s victory was secured by Mariano Troilo’s crucial goal in the 80th minute. However, this goal led to more controversy regarding officiating, as it was initially ruled out on the field but later confirmed after a lengthy VAR and OFR review.

🟡🔴   AS Roma – Cremonese  🩶❤️   
💜⚜️    Fiorentina 1 – 0 Pisa   ⚫️🔵    

Fiorentina successfully completed their mission by securing a victory at the Artemio Franchi Stadium. A goal in the first half from Moise Kean was sufficient to determine the outcome of the Tuscan derby between Fiorentina and Pisa. With this win, Fiorentina achieved their third consecutive victory across both the league and the Conference, bringing their total to 24 points in the standings, which places them tied for third-last with Cremonese and Lecce. On the other hand, the unfortunate news is for Pisa, who remain at 15 points, sinking deeper into last place alongside Verona in the relegation zone.

🔴🔵    Bologna 1 – 0 Udinese   ⚪️⚫️ 

Bologna narrowly triumphed over Udinese at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium. This victory marked the end of Bologna’s home drought that had persisted since November. With this win, Bologna accumulated 36 points, inching closer to the European Zone, while Como holds the 6th position with 45 points. Udinese remains in 11th place with 32 points.   In the 75th minute, Bernardeschi scored from the penalty spot after Castro was fouled, although his initial attempt was saved by Karlström.

Today’s Front Page Tutto Sport, Sunday 22 February 2026

👉A touching double in ski cross, Giovannini bronze in figure skating
Italy 30 cum laude!

Freestyle makes us jump with joy: Deromedis takes gold and Tomasoni silver with a moving dedication to Matilde Lorenzi; the skier who died in 2024 from a fall was his girlfriend. The 30th Italian medal comes again from the ice, in the men’s mass start. Today is the final day: we’re hoping for the four-man bobsleigh. Then comes the closing ceremony at the Verona Arena.

Lucio: “If the level is this high, we can’t hope for anything.” The Di Gregorio case. Yildiz injured: doubtful for the Champions League return match against Galatasaray on Wednesday.

👉At 18:00, Milan is now 10 points behind.
Two corners, two goals.
Inter wins at Lecce.
Bastoni, what boos!

👉Toro
Baroni’s final call

The relegation battle with Genoa in the chaos of Marassi could prove fatal for the coach. Maripan is a doubt, Ebosse a temptation.

👉Basketball, Italian Cup: at 17 in Turin
Tortona Masterpiece
Final against Milan

     ⚫️🔵   Pisa 1 – 2 AC Milan  🔴⚫️ 

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.

How the new 48-team 2026 World Cup works

StickyHistory and facts 2026

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.

From August 15 to 18, the Serie B teams along with the first teams from Enilive Serie A will compete in the thirty-second finals.

The event kicks off on Friday the 15th at 18:00 with Empoli taking on Reggiana, and the final match will feature Torino against Modena, set for Monday the 18th at 21:15.

  • Bologna

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.

Mexico World Cup hosting under threat amid cartel violence

History and facts 2026

Mexico’s preparations for this summer’s FIFA World Cup face uncertainty as violence from the Jalisco New Generation (CJNG) cartel intensifies. The criminal organisation has clashed with the Mexican military, blocked roads, and set vehicles on fire following the killing of its leader, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, also known as ‘El Mencho’, in a military operation on Sunday.

The unrest began in Jalisco, where authorities declared a code red alert, and has now expanded to more than a dozen regions. Videos shared online show armed individuals patrolling urban areas, with smoke rising over cities. At least 25 members of the National Guard have died in a single 24-hour period.

Jalisco’s capital, Guadalajara, which will host four World Cup matches, along with Mexico City and Monterrey, where nine more matches are scheduled, is at the center of concern. Experts warn that the elimination of El Mencho could trigger a period of instability as rival factions compete for control.

Javier Eskauriatza, assistant professor of criminal law at the University of Nottingham, notes that crackdowns on cartels often provoke significant retaliation, creating a difficult security environment to manage.

Cartels’ economic interests and tourist safety

Despite the violence, experts believe cartels have incentives to maintain a degree of calm during major events. “Cartels benefit from a peaceful World Cup,” says Dr. Eskauriatza. “They invest in local businesses, hotels, and restaurants, so it is in their interest that international visitors enjoy their stay.”

The CJNG, valued at more than £10bn and with tens of thousands of members, has a history of kidnappings, massacres, and attacks on politicians since 2009. Nonetheless, some members are seen positively in local communities due to their contributions to infrastructure and facilities.

Dr. Karina Garcia-Reyes, senior lecturer in criminology at UWE Bristol, assesses the threat to tourists as moderate. She suggests that unless further military actions occur this week, authorities in the affected regions are likely to manage risks, allowing fans to travel safely if they follow official guidance.

The cartel’s violent response is seen as a necessary show of strength following the removal of its leader. Social media footage of the incidents serves to amplify their message nationally, underlining the scale and organization of their reaction.

Impact on sports and international perception

The unrest has already affected football in Mexico, with four matches – two in the top division and two in the second tier – postponed on Sunday due to security concerns. Monica Serrano Carreto, professor of international relations at El Colegio de Mexico, warns that while many hope the retaliation is temporary, there is a risk of continued unrest and unpredictability.

The weapons at the cartel’s disposal, some capable of targeting helicopters, mean that military confrontations are likely in response. The images and reports of violence have influenced international perceptions, potentially affecting travel plans for visitors attending the World Cup.

Mexico has faced heightened pressure to tackle cartel activity in the past year. Jon Benjamin, former UK ambassador to Mexico, emphasizes the seriousness of the situation, highlighting previous US designations of cartels as terrorist organisations and the extradition of cartel figures. He adds that international political factors play a key role in the current escalation.
