Italian Soccer Serie A supports Serie A teams in the UEFA Champions League

AC Milan has touched down in Zagreb and is now at Maksimir Stadium. They are set to compete in their final Champions League group stage match on Wednesday, January 29, at 21:00 CET. Ahead of the game, Coach Conceição and player Christian Pulisic shared their thoughts during a press conference on Tuesday, January 28. Here’s a recap of their comments.

SÉRGIO CONCEIÇÃO ahead of Dinamo Zagreb vs AC Milan 

“We have prepared ourselves in a short time, as we were preparing to play a series of decisive matches, but I expect the team to give a positive performance and win. It will be an important and difficult match. We want to end the first phase of this competition in the best possible way: getting into the top eight in the Champions League is our goal now, after winning the Supercoppa Italiana. In the Champions League, in the long term, we aim to finish in the top four. They still have playoff hopes, so they will have great motivation in facing us. My choices will only be affected by Dinamo, not by the Derby.”

CONCEIÇÃO: “ I expect the team to give a positive performance and win“

THE TEAM

“We don’t need any particular shock; the shock comes from working and playing matches like this. I’d like to improve some aspects of our game: the management of certain phases of ball possession, the reaction when we lose the ball. These are the details, we need time and unfortunately we have very little of it. I see positive and negative things, we have never given up and, although I would prefer to win in a more comfortable way and not always in a comeback, I am appreciating the positive attitude. I see a very good group of people, I’ve changed a lot of things since I arrived but the guys have respected and followed my decisions.”

 Christian Pulisic 

“So far we have done well in the Champions League, and we have a great opportunity to finish in the top eight. Recently, the team has shown a good spirit; we try to give our best in every game, also in the league. With Conceição, we have improved our attitude: we believe in ourselves all the way.”

Napoli defeated Juventus at the Maradona Stadium. This victory is crucial for Napoli as they secure a significant win against a Juventus team that has just faced its first loss of the season. With this win, Napoli now sits at the top of the table with 53 points, while Juventus has slipped to 5th place with only 36 points, trailing Napoli by a hefty 17 points. Ouch!

Inter made a strong statement, signaling that they are still very much in the race for the Scudetto. Inter crushed Lecce at the Via del Mare with a 4-0!  Following Napoli’s victory over Juventus, Inter responded by narrowing the gap to just -3 points, now sitting at 50 points compared to Napoli’s 53. With a game in hand against Fiorentina, Inzaghi’s squad celebrated their third consecutive win across Serie A and the Champions League.

Meanwhile, Lecce faced their second straight defeat in the league, conceding four goals in both matches. They remain at 20 points, just one point above third-from-last Verona, who could potentially surpass them with a win against Venezia tomorrow. Inter’s victory was straightforward, with the team netting two goals in each half. They took an early lead just six minutes in, thanks to Frattesi, who received a perfect assist from Thuram. Although Thuram later missed a clear chance, Inter continued to press.

Torino secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over Cagliari, showcasing their dominance throughout the match. Che Adams was in exceptional form, scoring both goals—one in each half—which helped the Granata achieve their third home win of the season. Cagliari, on the other hand, struggled offensively and took a significant step back in their performance.

Milan staged a thrilling comeback scoring two goals in injury time to secure a 3-2 victory against Parma.  Christian Pulisic converted a penalty, while Reijnders and Chukwueze added to the tally.  Parma had initially taken the lead twice with goals from Cancellieri and Delprato. Just think about it! In a historic moment for Serie A, Milan achieved an amazing comeback, scoring two goals after the 90th minute to clinch their first-ever win from behind!  With this win, Milan climbs to 7th place, now tied with Bologna at 34 points, just 2 points behind Juventus with 36 points.  The Rossoneri remain in contention for a Champions League spot. On the other hand, Parma, who aimed for victory, now finds themselves just one point above the relegation zone.

Atalanta triumphed over Como at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium with a score of 2-1. This win brings Atalanta’s points total to 46, placing them 7 points behind the league leaders, Napoli, who have 53 points. Como, on the other hand, remains at 22 points. It was an exciting comeback match filled with twists and turns. Como initially took the lead thanks to Nico Paz, but the second half saw a turnaround as Mateo Retegui scored twice, flipping the score in Atalanta’s favor. Retegui is now the top scorer in Serie A with 16 goals.

What a disappointing outcome for Lazio as they fell to Fiorentina at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium. Fiorentina not only took the victory but also secured three crucial points. However, it’s not all doom and gloom for Lazio, as they still hold onto 4th place with 39 points. Fiorentina, on the other hand, climbed to 6th place with 36 points, tying with Juventus. Fiorentina took the lead in the first half with goals from Yacine Adli and Lucas Beltrán. The second half saw Lazio dominating possession, desperately seeking a glimmer of hope. Tensions flared, leading to both coaches being sent off by Referee Rapuano. In stoppage time, Marusic managed to score with a header from a Hyasj assist. Just as the match was about to end, Pedro hit the post in the 98th minute, leaving the home crowd in stunned silence!

Empoli and Bologna ended with a 1-1 draw at the Carlo Castellani Stadium.  Empoli now has 21 points, while Bologna sits at 34 points, maintaining their 6th place in the European zone. All the action took place in the first half: Colombo opened the scoring in the 24th minute with a cross from Pezzella, but Dominguez equalized just before halftime with a volley assisted by Lykogiannis. In the second half, Odgaard (73′) and Beukema (80′) had opportunities to score. In the upcoming round, Empoli will travel to face Juventus, while Bologna will host Como at home.

AS Roma secured an away victory, marking their first win since last April in Udine, bringing their total to 30 points. Meanwhile, Udinese remains at 26 points. In a thrilling match, Roma staged a comeback after the home team initially took the lead against Lucca. However, two penalties in the second half, converted by Pellegrini and Dovbyk, turned the tide in Roma’s favor.
