Special congratulations to the moms of all our Serie A coaches and players… thanks for your sons because they delight us every week playing football, thanks for your dedication.
Hello my friends. Here are the front pages from Italy main Sports newspapers La Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport, and Tutto Sport from Sunday 10 May 2015.
Happy Mother’s Day to all moms! It’s Sunday and today all moms should be pampered. So, let’s grab a cup of coffee and share the headlines.
It’s a good day for Cagliari! Why? Hello, hello, hello, headlines stating the 1-1 draw at the Juventus Stadium. Yep, you are reading right. Cagliari who are battling to survive in Serie A managed to get a draw with Juventus thanks to the goal by birthday boy Cagliari defender Luca Rossettini. As for Champions League headline, it’s so exciting to see the words the Bernabeu Stadium already trembling because they barely got a 2-2 draw with Valencia. Juventus will go to the Bernabeu to play the Champions League Semifinal second leg.. and everything is possible. Imagine, Cristiano Ronaldo failed to convert a penalty…. so, that is an added motivation for the Bianconeri to believe in the qualification to the Champions League Final. Despite the draw, it was a party at the Juventus Stadium because fans welcomed their players and celebrate their 4th Consecutive Scudetto with 4 games to spare… plus seeing midfielder Paul Pogba scoring a goal.
Now, my friends, the real news… excuse me… is about finally AC Milan winning!!! Headlines showing Roma losing in San Siro with a goal by the ex Roma player forward Mattia Destro. For Roma, shortening the distance was Captain Francesco Totti converting a penalty. I agree with the headline of Corriere dello Sport stating that indeed it was a beautiful Milan. Final result 2-1. Reportedly, coach Rudi Garcia thinking on a forced retreat because Roma now risk to lose the second position. Here is the thing, Lazio having the chance to grab the second position if they defeat Inter.
