👉 Hello, my friends. Here are the 2023-2024 Italian Serie A Week 25 RESULTS / Twenty-fifth Round on Friday 16, Saturday 17, and Sunday 18 February 2024. Without a doubt, Inter are having a great season! Inter is the sole leader with 63 points after crushing Salernitana with a 4-0. Salernitana are in the last position with only 13 points.
It seems Inter are running alone at high speed. Juventus wasted their chance to keep up the race for the Scudetto after another draw against Hellas Verona. Juventus risk losing the third position too. Juve are -9 points below Inter and just +2 above AC Milan in the 3rd position. Another flop was for AC Milan who could have taken the 2nd position, yet, they lost the away game against Monza. Good job for Monza showing character and playing without fear. Milan played with 10 players since the 52nd minute after Luka Jovic got a red card. Still, no excuse.
Atalanta consolidated the fourth place with 45 points after beating Sassuolo. On the other hand, Sassuolo, caught by Hellas Verona after the draw against Juventus, is now in third to last place with 20 points.

===============
Torino have kept 12 clean sheets this season in 24 games, the last time Torio had recorded at least 12 clean sheets after 24 Serie A games this season was in 1991/92 (13 in that case and third place in the standings at the end of the championship). Ivan Juric’s 100th bench with Torino in Serie A TIM, the Croatian coach is the seventh Granata coach with the most benches in the top flight.
Lautaro Martínez is the third player to score at least 20 goals for three seasons in a row in Serie A with Inter, after Giuseppe Meazza (five – from 1929/30 to 1933/34) and Stefano Nyers (four – from 1948/49 to 1951/52). Before Carlos Augusto, the last Inter defender to provide two assists in a Serie A TIM match was Yuto Nagatomo on 21 December 2011.
Considering the last two Serie A TIM seasons, Giovanni Di Lorenzo is the defender who has provided the most assists in the top flight (nine).
Genoa remained unbeaten in their first four away games of a calendar year in Serie A for the first time in the three points per win era (the last precedent dates back to 1993/94).
After three defeats in a row at the Bentegodi, Verona remained unbeaten in six of the last seven home league matches: two wins and four draws in the partial (1P).
Dušan Vlahović scored seven goals in six games played in 2024; in the last 30 seasons (since 1994/95), only one Juventus player has done better than the Serbian in his first six matches of a single calendar year in Serie A TIM: Cristiano Ronaldo with 10, in 2019/20.
Atalanta have won all of their last five matches played in Serie A TIM: this is the longest streak of consecutive victories for the Dea since the one recorded between November and December 2021 (six in that case).
In the last three seasons, Mario Pašalić (22) and Teun Koopmeiners (21) are the two midfielders who have scored the most goals in Serie A TIM.
Bologna have scored 45 points in the first 25 games of a Serie A season for the first time in the three points per win era (since 1994/95).
Felipe Anderson played his 100th consecutive Serie A TIM match since his return to Lazio in 2021/22: he is the only player to always appear in the competition in the last three seasons.
M’Baye Niang is the first Empoli player capable of scoring in his first two appearances for the Tuscan club in Serie A in the three points for a win era.
Empoli for the first time remained unbeaten at home against Fiorentina for four consecutive matches (W2, D2) in Serie A. 1-1 is the most frequent score between these two teams in the competition (six times).

👉 Hello, my friends. Here are the 2023-2024 Italian Serie A Week 24 RESULTS / Twenty-fourth Round on Friday 9, Saturday 10, Sunday 11, and Monday 12 February 2024. Inter are in the lead with 60 points after defeating Roma, Inter also have a game to recover. Juventus wasted the chance to win the home game and although they are in the second place with 53 points, they are now -7 points below Inter and just +1 over AC Milan. Udinese claimed a very important away victory by defeating Juventus causing a total upset for the Bianconeri. In other words, the second position might change in the next round. Your take?
Salernitana not finding a way out. Salernitana was defeated at home and remained in the last position. The good news is for Empoli because the victory helped them leave the relegation zone.
Lazio got an away victory defeating Cagliari and reached 37 points, moving closer to the Champions League zone, while Cagliari remained second to last with only 18 points. Lazio celebrate also their 4000th game in Serie A, just a perfect day. Deiola’s own goal opened, Ciro Immobile doubles (who scored 200 goals in Serie A), Gaetano reopened, and Felipe Anderson sealed the game.
Fiorentina are on a sprint race to climb to the top 6 positions. Fiorentina defeated Frosinone. Surely, a big celebration at the Franchi, both for the goal and for three very important points in the fight to reach the European zone. With this success, Fiorentina reached to 37 points, provisionally two away from the Champions League zone (Atalanta at 39, but with one game less). Frosinone instead suffered defeat number 13 in this Serie A and continued the away nightmare: 12 games, zero wins, three draws, and nine defeats.
AC Milan are not slowing down and get back to the race for the Scudetto. Milan keep the 3rd position with 52 points being -8 points below Inter and -1 below Juventus. Napoli failed and their chances to be among the top 4 is a mirage. The Italian champions need points to get closer to fourth place which means the Champions League. Now in ninth place and with their top scorer, Victor Osimhen, currently involved in the Africa Cup of Nations final between his Nigeria and the Ivory Coast.
