Good morning my friends. Here are the front pages from Italy main Sports newspapers La Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport, and Tutto Sport from Tuesday 21 April 2015.
And we are still talking about the Milan Derby flop! Headlines stating the face to face between Inter Coach Roberto Mancini and Referee Luca Banti… for Mancini there was a penalty.. but nevertheless the Derby ended with a 0-0.
Things are not working out for AS Roma and headlines showing President Pallotta having everybody under test! Come on, guys, I would agree with Pallotta too! It is just U N T H I N K A B L E to see how Roma have been losing points after points now to the point of risking to lose even the third position! OUCH….. oh welll… the happiest ones are Lazio fans because they took away from Roma the second position…
I love Carlo Ancelotti, beloved Ancelotti, encouraging Juventus to move forward in Champions League. I agree that it will be good for Italian football to see Juventus passing to the next round. However, what really caught my attention from this headline is the possibility of Ancelotti to return to coach either Roma or AC Milan! UEPPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA and if you ask me, I will say, AC MILAN.
Awesome to see Juventus forward Alvaro Morata encouraging the team to make it all the way to the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL… and hello, I am set for that!
Ouch! Not good news for Juventus fans regarding transfer market… headline from La Gazzetta indicating that actually it is forward Carlos Tevez to be the decisive factor in Champions League and his future. Tevez between Monaco and Boca Juniors!!! Surely, Tevez is the key player to win against Monaco.
Perfect headline for the game Fiorentina vs Hellas Verona. I agree that it was a slap to Fiorentina by Verona claiming the victory at the Artemio Franchi Stadium.

Fiorentina falling at the Artemio Franchi Stadium. A miraculous victory for Hellas Verona seeing their hope for salvation closer. It’s a historical victory for Verona not winning at the Franchi since October 21, 2001!!!! This lost is a step back for Fiorentina because they might lose their chances for the Europa League next season considering we have only 7 more games.
Hellas Verona opening the score with midfielder Mounir Obbadi defeating Fiorentina goalkeeper Neto with a right footed shot in the bottom right corner.
Fiorentina could have taken the lead in the 67th minute when Referee Mazzoleni granted a penalty conceded by Goalkeeper Rafael after a foul on Fiorentina forward Alberto Gilardino. Yet, Rafael saved the left footed shot in the bottom right corner by forward Alessandro Diamanti. A blow! A cold shower!
