AC Milan falling from grace. Lazio defeated AC Milan and their hope to win the Scudetto. Lazio crushed AC Milan with a 3-0 and fall from the 2nd to the 5th position. It is just unbelievable how AC Milan lead for 20 weeks the 1st position and then slowly losing points on the way until now risking to lose a spot in the Champions League next season which is their main objective.
Juventus slowing down and by now it’s a disappointment to defend their title. Juventus ending with a 1-1 draw against Fiorentina at the Artemio Franchi Stadium. Juventus reaching 66 points being -13 points below Inter. Juventus stepping down to the 4th position.
The big day is for Atalanta because not they only crushed Bologna with a 5-0, but also climbed to the 2nd position with 68 points!
Great day for Crotone, despite remaining in the last position, because they won their 5th game this season after defeating Parma. The collapse for Parma at the Ennio Tardini Stadium is a slap. Crotone claimed this away victory reaching 18 points. Parma remain in the 19th position with 20 points with just +2 points above Crotone.
