Hello, my friends. Here are the 2021-2022 Italian Serie A Week 26 Results / Twenty-Sixth Round on Friday 18, Saturday 19, Sunday 20, and Monday 21 February 2022.
✅ 10 Serie A Games Completed
⚽️ Serie A Top Scorer up to Week 26 (Updated on Monday 21 February 2022)
The first and last place team Salernitana vs AC Milan ended the Serie A Week 26 game with a 2-2 draw at the Arechi Stadium. Salernitana Coach Davide Nicola made his debut with the team after the sacking of Coach Stefano Colantuono. AC Milan wasted too many chances and the lack of concentration of goalkeeper Mike Maignan was a negative point for Milan. This draw is more like a win for Salernitana dreaming with salvation.
Inter wasted the chance to overtake the 1st position after losing against Sassuolo at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium. Inter remain in the 2nd position with 54 points and AC Milan with 56 points keep the first position after their draw against Salernitana. After the defeat against Milan and the draw against Napoli, Inter got three consecutive matches without a win in the league for the first time since January 2020 (three draws in that case with Antonio Conte).
Napoli another team wasting the chance to overtake the 1st position after ending the Serie A Week 26 game against Cagliari with a draw at the Unipol Domus. Cagliari with this 1 point is enough to climb from the 18th to the 17th position leaving the relegation zone. The draw is more like a victory for Cagliari and a flop for Napoli.
The Derby della Mole ended with a draw. Juventus succumbed to the pressure against Torino at the Allianz Stadium. Juventus needed all 3 points to keep up climbing towards the top 3 positions. Torino claiming this 1 golden point for the honor denying Juventus to claim the full bragging rights to rule in Turin thanks to the equalizer goal by Andrea Belotti stopping Juve.
Sampdoria defeated Empoli at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium. Sampdoria winning in grand style thanks to the brace of forward Fabio Quagliarella. A fundamental victory for Marco Giampaolo’s men, who temporarily gain two positions in the standings, reaching 26 points, five more in the relegation zone. The difficult moment continues for Empoli, which returns to lose after two consecutive draws and sees the distance from the Sampdoria shortened to five points. The highlight of the match is Fabio Quagliarella becoming the eighth player in the Serie A history scoring in 18 consecutive calendar years.
Roma slowed down their sprint race to gain points and climb to the top 6 positions. Roma barely got a 2-2 draw at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium. A brave Hellas Verona almost got the victory. Two substitutes took care of saving 1 point for Roma: Cristian Volpato and Edoardo Bove. Coach José Mourinho got a red card in the 91st minute for protesting.
Fiorentina defeated Atalanta at the Artemio Franchi Stadium. Fiorentina reached 42 points being -2 points below Atalanta. This defeat is a step back for Atalanta risking to lose the 5th position. Sour note for Atalanta seeing Coach Gian Piero Gasperini being sent off in the 63rd minute for protesting. Moreover, Atalanta seeing Ruslan Malinovskyi ‘s goal ruled out for offside.
The “salvation dream game.” Venezia and Genoa finished the Serie A Week 26 game with a draw at the Pier Luigi Penzo Stadium. The result makes you smile, only in part sharing 1 point each. Venezia – best in the first fraction drop at a distance and suffer the return of the Rossoblu in the second half. Svoboda saves a header from Yeboah on the line, Aramu grazes the post on the next overturn. Injury for Ebuehi. The battle to remain in Serie A next season continues.
Bologna defeated Spezia at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium. Bologna are unbeaten in Serie A against Spezia, thanks to a draw followed by two wins. Bologna with this needed 3 points to be away the relegation area. So far only against Verona and Fiorentina (1D, 3L against both), Spezia have played four matches in the top flight without ever winning.

The first and last place team Salernitana vs AC Milan ending the Serie A Week 26 game with a draw on Saturday 19 February 2022 at the Arechi Stadium in Salerno, Italy. Salernitana Coach Davide Nicola made his debut with the team after the sacking of Coach Stefano Colantuono. AC Milan wasted too many chances and the lack of concentration of goalkeeper Mike Maignan was a negative point for Milan. This draw is more like a win for Salernitana dreaming with salvation.
AC Milan have won 33 of the 46 Serie A away games under Stefano Pioli’s management, more than any other team in the five major European leagues since he was appointed Rossoneri manager on 9 October 2019. Can he win this one too?

✅ Salernitana have won only one of the five Serie A matches against Milan (a 4-3 dated June 1948), four Rossoneri successes complete the set. Only four of Salernitana’s 13 points in this league have come against opponents currently in the top half of the table, while Milan have earned 31 points against teams in the lower half – only Napoli (34) have done better so far; more generally, all of the last nine matches between first and last in the standings at the start of the day ended with a victory for the leaders, the last time that did not happen was in May 2016 (Verona 2-1 Juventus). Salernitana scored five points in five Serie A matches in 2022 (1W, 2D, 2L), an average of one per game, more than double the average of 0.4 recorded in the first 18 games of this championship.
