Hello my friends. I hope you enjoyed the games and your favorite teams are doing well. Here are the 2018-2019 Serie A Week 2 RESULTS / Second Round on Saturday 25, Sunday 26, and Monday 27 August 2018.
Definitely, it is a super round for 3 teams winning their two games to have full 6 points: Juventus, Napoli, and Spal. The big moment is for Juventus’ Italy Champions defending their title, although the fans are still expecting to celebrate a goal by Cristiano Ronaldo. Ok, I admit it, I am also desperately to celebrate and shout SIIIIIUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!
Napoli rocking big time. Surely, Carlo Ancelotti is the “King of Napoli.” Ancelotti who is an ex-AC Milan player and also ex-AC Milan Coach, showed a tough lesson to his former player Gennaro Gattuso now coaching AC Milan. Napoli were losing the game with a 0 – 2 at the San Paolo Stadium and overturned the result to claim the victory with a 3-2.
