AC Milan won the Serie A Week 36 game crushing Cagliari on Saturday 11 May 2024 at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy. It is a great victory for Milan with 5 goals. This is a delicate moment for Milan despite the arithmetic placement in the Champions League having already arrived a few weeks ago. Even today the fans did not support the team as a sign of protest asking for investments for the near future. One of the banners displayed read: “We demand and deserve a strong and winning club. Milano does not settle”.The Rossoneri are coming off a spectacular draw here at San Siro against Genoa 3-3, and have not won at home since the 3-0 defeat against Lecce last 6 April.
Anything but a trivial match for Cagliari, failed to find oxygen in order to save themselves. In fact, the rossoblù are floating in 15th place with 33 points, only 3 more than Udinese who are currently the team to take as a reference for the relegation zone. In a week’s time the rossoblù will have the very important match at the Mapei against Sassuolo.

👉 Hello, my friends. Here are the 2023-2024 Italian Serie A Week 35 RESULTS / Thirty-fifth Round on Friday 3, Saturday 4, Sunday 5, and Monday 6 May 2024.
Inter won the 2023-2024 Italy’s Champions winning the Scudetto last week after defeating AC Milan in the Milan Derby. Inter’s 20th Italian league title and earn the Nerazzurri a second star on their shirts. Inter won the Serie A Week 34 game against Torino thanks to a brace by Hakan Çalhanoglu reaching 89 points.
Sassuolo beats Inter 1-0 and obtained three precious points in the fight for survival. The decisive goal by Laurienté in the 20th minute. The Nerazzurri have a lot of ball possession but don’t create clear scoring opportunities. Inter’s only defeat in this championship came against Sassuolo (1-2 on 27 September) and today. Sassuolo won both seasonal Serie A matches against Inter for the first time since 2017/18. Sassuolo are still in the relegation zone in the 19th position and this victory is an added boost to continue the battle for salvation.
AC Milan failed their mission to defeat Genoa to claim all 3 points. The game ended with a draw. This draw is like a victory for Genoa and a flop for AC Milan. Surely, the ex-Milan player Alberto Gilardino and now Genoa Coach can celebrate this draw. Nevertheless, Milan kept the 2nd position reaching 71 points while Genoa remained in the 12th position with 42 points being -2 points below Monza in the 11th position. One of the match’s highlights happened in the stands and not on the pitch. The Milan fans in the Curva Sud remained silent throughout the match. It was a sign of protest to show their displeasure with the team. To make matters worse, the fans left with 10 minutes remaining. You bet that the message to the Club is loud and clear to improve the team with better signings.
Torino and Bologna ended with a goalless draw. This is Torino’s third consecutive 0-0 at home, the ninth of the season. However, Bologna are 5 points away from arithmetically qualifying for the Champions League. Bologna is also chasing Europe, as they want to crown a memorable season so far with the historic qualification for the Champions League. The search for the European dream continues for Ivan Juric’s Torino, currently 4 points behind Napoli and Fiorentina. However, the Granata are in a moment of decline having achieved only one victory in the last five championship games.
Juventus and Roma failed to win. The game ended with a draw helping more Juventus because they move closer to qualifying for the next Champions League. Juventus are maintaining a two-point lead over Bologna and six over Roma. The Giallorossi move to 60 points but with Atalanta, playing tomorrow in Salerno and with two games less, who could catch them.
