🇮🇹 Here are the official starting lineups for Cagliari vs Lecce in the Serie A Week 25 match, taking place at the Unipol Domus in Cagliari, Italy, on Monday, 16 February, 2026, at 20:45.
Here are the latest results for Serie A Week 25 of the 2025-26 season. The matches are scheduled for Friday 13, Saturday 14, Sunday 15, and Monday 16 February 2026.

👉 Summary: As of Round 25, the Scudetto remains a contest among at least three teams. Inter is currently the dominant leader with 61 points, while AC Milan is in 2nd place with 53 points (and a game to catch up). Napoli follows closely with 50 points, securing the 3rd position, which is 11 points behind Inter. Roma is in 4th place with 49 points, having overtaken Juve, who is in 5th with 46 points. In summary, there’s no time to rest, but Inter is clearly in control with their impressive victories.
AC Milan triumphed at the Arena Garibaldi. Luka Modric netted the decisive goal with a spectacular strike that brought the score to 2-1. This victory marks 23 consecutive league wins for Milan. Their only defeat so far was against Cremonese on Matchday 1. No other team in Europe’s Big 5 leagues can rival Milan’s achievement. Milan holds second place with 53 points and has a game in hand. Pisa, on the other hand, is struggling in 19th place with just 15 points. With this win, Milan reaches 53 points. They could potentially close the gap to eight points behind Inter. Meanwhile, Pisa remains at the bottom of the table with 15 points, tied with Verona.
⚪️🔵 Como 1 – 2 Fiorentina 💜⚜️
Fiorentina secured a victory in the Serie A Week 25 match against Como on Saturday, February 14, 2026, at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium in Como. This win earned Fiorentina three vital points, allowing them to temporarily escape the relegation zone, thanks to goals from Fagioli and Kean, the latter scoring from a penalty. The Viola are now four points clear of the bottom two teams. Como, on the other hand, remains in sixth place in the standings.
⚪️🔵 Lazio 0 – 2 Atalanta ⚫️🔵
Lazio fell apart in front of their home crowd! Atalanta triumphed at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium by securing victory. With 42 points, Atalanta managed to surpass Como, who lost this afternoon to Fiorentina, allowing them to climb into sixth place, while Fabregas’s team still has a game in hand. Conversely, Lazio, with 33 points, risks being overtaken by Udinese in this round, which would drop them to ninth place.
⚫️🔵 Inter 3 – 2 Juventus ⚪️⚫️
The Derby d’Italia was claimed by Cristian Chivu’s Inter, who secured a thrilling 3-2 win over Juventus, strengthening their position at the top of the standings with 61 points, widening the gap over Allegri’s AC Milan. Key goals from Pio Esposito and Zielinski proved crucial, along with an early own goal by Andrea Cambiaso. Despite goals from Cambiaso and captain Locatelli, the Bianconeri fell short. Pierre Kalulu received a controversial red card in the first half. Juventus now sits at 46 points.
⚪️⚫️ Udinese 1 – 2 Sassuolo ⚫️🟢
Sassuolo at the Bluenergy Stadium. They came from behind to beat Udinese, netting two goals within two minutes during the second half. After a nearly flawless first half where the home team dominated following Solet’s goal, the Neroverdi completely turned the match around with goals from Laurientè and then Pinamonti. This victory was vital for Grosso’s squad. In the upcoming round, Sassuolo will take on Verona, while Udinese will go up against Bologna.
🩶❤️ Cremonese 0 – 0 Genoa 🔴🔵
Cremonese and Genoa concluded with a stalemate at the Giovanni Zini Stadium in Cremona. The 0-0 result, which lacks much thrill, keeps both teams at 24 points, three points clear of the 18th position in the standings. Bonazzoli had a significant opportunity at the end, but Bijlow was saved by the post. Up next, Cremonese will face Roma in the capital, while Genoa will welcome Torino at the Ferraris stadium.
🟡🔵 Parma 2 – 1 Hellas Verona 🟡🔵
Parma won at the Ennio Tardini Stadium. They secured a strong yet tightly contested victory, even after having an extra player for nearly 80 minutes. This win propels Parma to twelfth place with 29 points, marking a crucial step in their fight against relegation. In their next match, Parma will face AC Milan away from home. Hellas Verona, on the other hand, fell to their rivals in injury time after a challenging match, where they played most of the game with just ten players due to Orbán’s red card in the 11th minute. Despite their fighting spirit, Verona seems to have suffered another vital defeat in their quest to avoid relegation. They remain at the bottom of the standings with only 15 points, trailing fourth-from-bottom Fiorentina by six points, and will be traveling to Sassuolo for their next game.
🐂 Torino 1 – 2 Bologna 🔴🔵
Bologna achieved a notable win at the Olimpico di Torino Stadium in Turin. Bologna secured a 2-1 victory, earning three points in the league, exactly one month after their previous win on January 15th, which was also an away match against Verona. This victory ended a streak of four consecutive league losses for Bologna, while Baroni’s team continued to struggle. Bologna now has 33 points, placing them in 8th position, tied on points with Lazio. Torino remains in 14th position with 27 points. The breakthrough came in the second half, with a 49th-minute own goal by Nikola Vlašić. However, Vlašić bounced back and equalized in the 62nd minute. Castro netted the winning goal in the 70th minute with an impressive strike.
🔵 Napoli 2 – 2 AS Roma 🟡🔴
Napoli and Roma ended in a 2-2 draw at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. This draw did not benefit either team in their pursuit of the Scudetto. Both teams earned 1 point. Napoli now has 50 points, placing them in 3rd position, which is 11 points behind Inter, who leads with 61 points. Roma sits in 4th place with 49 points, having surpassed Juve, which is in 5th with 46 points. Roma took the lead just minutes into the match , as Zaragoza set up Malen, who scored to put his team ahead. Towards the end of the first half, former Napoli player Spinazzola found the net from long range, thanks to a significant deflection that helped him equalize. Malen stepped up to take a penalty, scoring his second goal and marking his fifth for the Giallorossi. However, the Dutchman’s brace was not sufficient for Gasperini’s team, as they conceded another late equalizer from Alisson Santos, who was assisted by another January signing from Napoli, Giovane.
🔴🔵 Cagliari 0 – 2 Lecce 🟡🔴
Cagliari faced a home loss at the Unipol Domus. Lecce secured the victory in the second half with goals from Israeli midfielder Omri Gandelman and Albanian midfielder Ylber Ramadani. This win is significant for Lecce as they now have 24 points, marking their second consecutive victory. They have moved ahead of Fiorentina, who is now third-to-last in the standings, just three points behind Salento, and are level on points with both Cremonese and Genoa. On the other hand, Cagliari has suffered a second straight defeat but still holds a seven-point cushion above the relegation zone with 28 points.
