👉Here’s the Champions League again, Inter and Juve want to return big
Europe called
Inzaghi tomorrow against the Liverpool phenomenon
There’s Bastone, Sanchez flies, Vidal vice Barella
Mission accomplished! AC Milan take the first position after winning the Serie A Week 25 game defeating Sampdoria at the San Siro Stadium. The victory gives Milan 55 points overtaking the 1st position and sending Inter (54) to the second position.
Inter ending the Serie A Week 25 with a draw against Napoli at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. Napoli (53) and Inter (54) share one point each. Good news for Inter is they still have the match against Bologna to recover. In the next round, Inter will play the home game against Sassuolo. Napoli will challenge Cagliari at the Unipol Domus.
The real play-off for the Champions League area between Atalanta and Juventus ended with a draw at the Gewiss Stadium. Surely, a game full of emotions and opportunities. Yet, a draw that does not help in the run-up to the top three but which confirms the fourth position of the Bianconeri and the fifth of Atalanta. Juventus found the equalizer goal in full recovery thanks to Danilo’s header from Dybala’s corner: previously Atalanta took the lead with Malinovskiy on a free-kick and very close to doubling with Hateboer, who hit a crossbar.
Lazio defeated Bologna at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium. Lazio have not conceded a goal in four consecutive league games. The victory helps Lazio to remain within the European zone reaching 42 points while Bologna remain with 28 points. In the next round Lazio will play the away game against Udinese, Bologna will play at home with Spezia. Tris Lazio, in the second half, Mattia Zaccagni is unleashed and scores a brace (53 ‘and 63’). Muscle injury par Lazzari.
There is no way for victory for the Roman gladiators. After the draw with Genoa and the elimination from the Italian Cup, Roma failed to redeem themselves at the Mapei Stadium ending with a draw against Sassuolo.
Torino was defeated by Venezia at the Olimpico di Torino Stadium. This is an added boost for the morale of Venezia conquering the Olimpico for the full 3 points. Torino almost got a draw in the 90th minute with the goal by Andrea Belotti but after consulting the VAR, Referee Antonio Giua ruled out for offside. Venezia with a sprint race for salvation.
Hellas Verona convincingly win crushing Udinese at the Marc’Antonio Bentegodi Stadium. Verona not giving a chance for Udinese to react and got a poker claiming all 3 points reaching 36 points. Fabio Depaoli scored his first goal with Verona and among the professionals, Antonín Barák – who thus reaches 9 goals in the league like Mascetti and Briegel – Gianluca Caprari and Adrien Tameze.
Spezia failed to win the home game defeated by Fiorentina at the Alberto Picco Stadium. Fiorentina are unbeaten against Spezia in Serie A, thanks to a draw followed by two 3-0 wins; however, the tie between the two teams came in the only match played at home by the Ligurians (2-2 in October 2020).
