Hello my friends. Here are the Serie A RESULTS for Week 20 on Saturday 24, Sunday 25, and Monday 26 January, 2015. Juventus leading with 49 points followed closely by AS Roma in the second position with 42 points. The gap now are Juventus +7 points ahead of Roma.
It’s a major blow for AC Milan on their quest to reach the third position. Milan defeated by Lazio at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium. It’s a clear crisis for this Milan looking only as a shadow. Chaos is also for Inter losing the home match at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium defeated by Torino. The City of Milan must be crying seeing both of their teams defeated and far from the top 3 positions.
A joy for Cagliari finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel after defeating Sassuolo at the Sant’Elia Stadium. Cagliari battling for salvation and be away from the relegation zone.
As for relegation, a clear black crisis is for Parma losing again! Parma have only 9 points. It was the game for salvation Parma – Cesena….. Now, Parma will have to make a decision on whether to keep coach Roberto Donadoni or change coach to remain in Serie A next year.
