👉Referee fails. Napoli’s goal should have been validated.
“The goal was good!”

Rocchi said it was a mistake to call the foul for the contact between Hojlund and Hien in Bergamo.

Chiffi will be suspended for a match, as he will be the VAR referee for Real Madrid-Benfica tomorrow and will meet Mourinho again after their altercation during his time at Roma. De Laurentis is outraged.

👉In two days, we’re playing for our European reputation.
Champions League Pride

Inter for the comeback: they need a three-goal margin.

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
First anti-crisis move: Wes’s renewal is just around the corner.
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.

Chivu’s tension is high.

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.”
