👉 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.

AC Milan failed their mission to win the Serie A Week 35 game ended with a draw against Genoa on Sunday 5 May 2024 at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy. 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.
Everything happened in the second half. After a few minutes, Gilardino’s team took the lead again with a precise header from Ekuban. After countless chances, Milan overtook with a crazy one-two: first Gabbia and then Giroud protagonists of the comeback. Genoa seemed to be at the mercy and now doomed, but a carom that leads to Thiaw’s own goal restores parity and allows the two teams to take home a point each.
Previously, AC Milan had won all of their last four matches against Genoa in Serie A and in their history in the competition they have only beaten Grifone multiple times in a row: seven, between 1959 and 1963.
Genoa silenced San Siro in the 5th minute after taking the lead. Mateo Retegui defeated AC Milan goalkeeper Marco Sportiello after converting a penalty with a right-footed shot to the top left corner. The penalty was conceded by Fikayo Tomori after a foul in the penalty area on Alessandro Vogliacco.

Stats before the game: Genoa have not found the net in their last three matches against Milan in Serie A and could equal their longest streak without scoring against the Devil in the competition: four games in a row, recorded in both the 1965-1974 and 2011-2013 periods. Considering all competitions, Milan have not won any of their last five matches (D2, L3) and under Stefano Pioli’s management they have only once recorded a longer streak without success: seven official matches between January and February 2023 (D2, L5). Milan have lost their last two home games in all competitions (vs Roma and Inter) and have not achieved three defeats in a row at home in the league and cups since the period between February and March 2014 (vs Atletico Madrid, Juventus and Parma), under the leadership of Clarence Seedorf. Genoa won in the last round of Serie A (3-0 vs Cagliari) and in this championship they have only achieved two successes in a row once (vs Salernitana and Lecce in January); to find two clean sheets in a row in the competition, however, you have to go back to the period between February and March 2022 (series of four).
