Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Atalanta, 3rd position with 74 points and a positive goal difference of +42
Parma, 16th position with 33 points and a negative goal difference of -15

Parma defeated Atalanta in the Serie A Week 38 match on Sunday, May 25, 2025, at the Gewiss Stadium located in Bergamo, Italy.  Atalanta finishes the season in third place, securing a spot in the Champions League. Parma ends up fifth from the bottom with 36 points.

Parma manages to turn the game around and saves themselves.   Daniel Maldini with a brace in the 32nd and 33rd minute.  Christian Chivu’s squad enters the second half fiercely and quickly finds a glimmer of hope with the new player Antoine Hainaut (’49), who believes in the play and unleashes an unstoppable shot past Carnesecchi. Both teams create many opportunities, but it is the yellow and blues who equalize, thanks to another newcomer, Ondrejka. The Swede, in the 71st minute, is assisted by Bonny and scores against Carnesecchi. Ondrejka misses a chance to take the lead but in the 91st minute, he nets the goal for 3-2, assisted by Bernabé.

Atalanta is celebrating Mateo Retegui as the top scorer of the 2024-25 Season, having scored 25 goals.

Atalanta gained the advantage in the 32nd minute. Daniel Maldini found the net with a left-footed strike into the bottom right corner. Raoul Bellanova provided the assist with a well-placed cross. De Ketelaere set up Bellanova again, delivering a cross into the center, and Maldini made a sliding finish!

In the 33rd minute, Daniel Maldini found the net with a right-footed shot aimed at the top right corner. Mateo Retegui provided the assist. There was little time to enjoy the lead as the Nerazzurri continued their offensive, with the ball moving to Retegui, who then set it up for Maldini: a curling shot from the right, and the ball hit the back of the net!

In the 49th minute, Parma closed the gap. Antoine Hainaut found the net with a right-footed shot aimed at the bottom right corner. Ondrejka passed to Hainaut, who then set up Pellegrino. The ball came back to the Frenchman, and he unleashed a powerful shot that left Carnesecchi with no opportunity to save it!

Parma leveled the score to 2-2 in the 71st minute. Jacob Ondrejka netted a right-footed shot into the bottom right corner. The assist came from Ange-Yoan Bonny. What a fantastic pass from Bonny to Ondrejka, who created the space for a shot that slipped past Carnesecchi on the left!

Parma clinched the winning goal in the 91st minute. Jacob Ondrejka found the net with a left-footed strike from the center of the box into the bottom left corner. He was assisted by Adrián Bernabé.

Stats before the game

If they secure a win on the last day, Atalanta would conclude this championship with 77 points in the standings, just one point shy of their highest total in a single Serie A season: 78, achieved in both 2019/20 and 2020/21. Furthermore, the Goddess (who conceded 34 goals in 2024/25) could achieve their best season regarding goals conceded in the 20-team Serie A format (their best result to date at the end of the championship is 39 goals conceded in 2017/18).

Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
AC Milan, 9th position with 60 points and a positive goal difference of +16
Monza, 20th position with 18 points and a negative goal difference of -39

🇮🇹  AC Milan defeated Monza in the Serie A Week 38 match on Saturday, May 24, 2025, at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy. Monza has already been relegated to Serie B for the next season, sitting at the bottom of the table.  A disappointing season wraps up for AC Milan, who will miss out on European Cups next year. This is the first time since the 2019-2020 season that this has occurred, although back then it was due to their expulsion from the Cups for not adhering to Financial Fair Play regulations.

The stakes are high for Milan. Perhaps this will be a season of renewal for them, as they focus solely on the league. Similar to Napoli, who took advantage of this situation to triumph over Inter in the Scudetto race.

In the 64th minute, Milan took the lead. Matteo Gabbia found the net with a header directed to the bottom right corner. The assist came from Samuel Chukwueze, who delivered a cross after a corner was conceded by Pedro Pereira. From the corner taken by Chukwueze, Gabbia’s header managed to beat Pizzignacco at the near post. This gives the Rossoneri a well-deserved advantage.

Milan increased their advantage in the 74th minute. João Félix netted a goal from a free kick, striking with his right foot into the bottom left corner, surpassing Pizzignacco.

Stats before the game

There have been no ties between Milan and Monza in Serie A, with the Rossoneri securing four victories and the Brianza team one; these five encounters have also averaged 3.2 goals per match. The two matches held at San Siro between Milan and Monza resulted in the Rossoneri triumphing with a combined score of 7-1; the Brianza teams have only allowed more away goals in Serie A against Atalanta (10) and Roma (eight).

Milan has experienced 16 losses in the 2024/25 season across all competitions. Only in three seasons have the Rossoneri faced more defeats in official matches since 1929/30: those seasons are 2013/14, 1996/97, and 1973/74, with each having 17 losses.

In this championship, Milan has secured eight home victories (7 draws, 3 losses). Over the last 20 seasons, since Serie A returned to 20 teams in 2004/05, they have only failed to achieve at least nine home wins twice: in 2007/08 and 2020/21, where they managed eight wins in both instances.

Should Monza lose, they would conclude this championship with 18 points in the standings. In the era of three points for a win, only four teams have ended a Serie A season with fewer points: Brescia with 12 in 1994/95, Napoli with 14 in 1997/98, Ancona with 13 in 2003/04, and Salernitana with 17 in 2023/24.

Player Stats

Monza is one of the two teams, alongside Empoli, against which Tijjani Reijnders has scored more than once in Serie A (two goals each); with 10 goals and four assists, the Dutch player could be the first central midfielder for Milan to achieve at least 15 active contributions in a season since Franck Kessie in 2020/21 (17).

If Christian Pulisic scores, he will match his personal best for goals in a season within the Big-5 European leagues (12 with Milan in 2023/24). Additionally, with one more active participation, he would set a new personal record in these competitions: 20 contributions in Serie A 2024/25 (11 goals and 9 assists), similar to his last season’s performance (12 goals and 8 assists).

Gianluca Caprari has contributed to a goal in each of his last two Serie A matches (one goal and one assist) and has not had three consecutive games with active involvement in the league since his time with Hellas Verona between January and February 2022, when he had a streak of four consecutive games.

Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Genoa, 13th position with 40 points and a negative goal difference of -14
Bologna, 8th position with 62 points and a positive goal difference of +12

Bologna FC lost to Genoa CFC in the Serie A Week 38 match on Saturday, May 24, 2025, at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium in Bologna, Italy.  Bologna wraps up its championship with 62 points, securing a spot in the next Europa League due to their Coppa Italia victory. On the other hand, Genoa ends the season in thirteenth place with 43 points.

A flawless first half is sufficient for Genoa to triumph over Bologna. The hosts respond in the second half with their reliable player, Riccardo Orsolini, but it falls short. Lorenzo Venturino’s brace and Vitinha’s goal provide a fantastic finish for Vieira’s squad.

The game…

In the 18th minute, Vítinha scores for Genoa with a right-footed shot into the bottom left corner. Aarón Martín provides the assist with a cross after a corner given away by Nicolò Casale. Once again, Martín assists, this time from a corner, locating Vitinha, who skillfully controls the ball and finishes with a right-footed shot.

Genoa is fired up! In the 26th minute, Lorenzo Venturino found the net with a right-footed shot aimed at the bottom left corner. The young Grifone striker takes charge and, after a brilliant run with the ball, successfully outsmarts goalkeeper Ravaglia with a skillfully executed right-footed cross shot.

Speaking of inspiration! At the 43rd minute, Lorenzo Venturino netted a goal with a right-footed shot to the bottom left corner. Vítinha provided the assist. Once again, Vitinha showcases his brilliance by getting past Casale and sending a wonderful ball to Venturino, who cleverly anticipates Holm and scores.

Bologna closed the gap in the 64th minute. Riccardo Orsolini found the net with a left-footed strike aimed at the upper center of the goal. The assist came from Nicolò Casale. It was a magnificent goal from the rossoblù winger, who controlled the ball with his chest before volleying it with his left foot, leaving the unsuspecting goalkeeper Daniele Sommariva with no chance.

Stats before the game:

Bologna has managed to win only one of their last 11 Serie A encounters with Genoa (D5 L5); since the 2018/19 season, they have recorded fewer victories only against Juventus (D6 L8) and Benevento (D1 L1).

Bologna has faced defeats in their last two Serie A matches, allowing a total of six goals, which is equal to the number they conceded in their previous nine matches in the league; they haven’t lost three consecutive league games since January 2022.

In 2025, Bologna has remained unbeaten at home in the league, achieving seven wins and three draws for a total of 24 points; only Roma (26 points) have performed better than the Emilians in the current calendar year.

Genoa has suffered four losses in their last five league matches (D1), matching the number of defeats they had in their previous 15 matches in the competition (W6 L5); the Ligurians could end up with just one point or fewer in their last six Serie A games of the season for the first time since 1991/92 (which would result in six defeats).

Genoa has not won any of their last 10 away league matches (D5 L5); this is their worst performance under a single coach in Serie A since the period from October 2009 to April 2010 (12 away games without a win under Gian Piero Gasperini during that time).

Player Stats:

Riccardo Orsolini has scored 14 goals in this season, including two in the last two matches; the Bologna player has already netted in three consecutive games this season (four between October and November) and could be the first Rossoblù to hit 15 goals in a single Serie A season since Marco Di Vaio in 2010/11 (19).

Aarón Martín has provided seven assists this season, with the last Genoa player to do better being Andrea Bertolacci in 2014/15 (eight); additionally, the Rossoblù player has made a winning pass in each of his last three appearances, and the last player from Liguria to achieve this for four consecutive matches was Rodrigo Palacio between May and September 2011, spanning two seasons.

Andrea Pinamonti, who scored a brace in the last match, bringing his total to 10 goals this season, could become the first Italian to exceed 10 goals in three of the last four Serie A seasons; considering all nationalities, only Lautaro Martínez, Olivier Giroud, Victor Osimhen, and Ademola Lookman have accomplished this.

Napoli has claimed the Scudetto, becoming the champions of Italy!!

Napoli defeated Cagliari in the Serie A Week 38 match on Friday, May 23, 2025, at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples, Italy.   Napoli secure their 4th Scudetto in history, following their victories in the 1986/87, 1989/90, and 2022/23 seasons. Up to now, no team from central-southern Italy has won the tricolor more than three times (Roma has also won three). Napoli just needs to win this game to claim the Scudetto, reaching a total of 82 points.

In the past 15 Serie A seasons (from 2010/11), this marks just the second occasion that the Scudetto will be decided on the final matchday, following the 2021/22 season when AC Milan triumphed. Napoli claimed the Scudetto for 2024-2025!

McTominay’s stunning overhead kick in the 42nd minute, along with Romelu Lukaku’s physical prowess in the 51st minute, secured a 2-0 victory over Cagliari, bringing immense joy to the entire nation: the Scudetto. Today’s achievement is a testament to the efforts of Aurelio De Laurentiis and Manna, who, after finishing in tenth place last year, successfully rebuilt a competitive team. They added two crucial players  McTominay, a winning intuition and a standout revelation of the championship, and Lukaku, a vital figure for Conte, who contributed 14 goals and 10 assists in the league, compensating for the significant departures of Victor Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia in January.

Most importantly, this victory marks a triumph for Antonio Conte: his fifth Scudetto in Italy, following three with Juve and one with Inter, achieved in Naples by defying the odds and expectations set at the beginning of the season. Conte has proven to be an exceptional leader, a master of tactics and communication, a focal point, and an undeniable leader from whom both fans and the team drew their best. He and the team accomplished a historic feat just two years after securing their third Scudetto. Today, Naples continues to dream.

“Avanti scugnizzi” along with a massive poster, this is the atmosphere selected by Napoli supporters. Prior to the game, there was a moment of silence dedicated to Nino Benvenuti.

The game …

Napoli gained the advantage in the 42nd minute. Scott McTominay scored with a right-footed shot to the center. The assist came from Matteo Politano. Napoli opened the scoring with a spectacular overhead kick goal by McTominay, who executed an acrobatic move on a cross from Politano that goalkeeper Alen Sherri couldn’t stop. The crowd erupted at the Maradona.

Napoli is celebrating a goal in the 51st minute. Romelu Lukaku found the net with a left-footed shot aimed at the bottom right corner. The assist came from Amir Rrahmani. What an incredible goal by Lukaku! He begins with a long throw from the defense, stands strong against Mina, pushes past the Cagliari defenders, and then delivers a precise flat shot past Sherri. Maradona erupts with joy.

In the 76th minute, Romelu Lukaku leaves the field to a round of applause and is substituted by Giovanni “El Cholito” Simeone. A well-deserved ovation for Lukaku!

 

✅ Stats before the game:

Following their impressive victory in the first leg (4-0 on 15 September), Napoli has the chance to secure wins in both of their seasonal encounters against Cagliari in Serie A for the first time since the 2018/19 season, when Carlo Ancelotti was at the helm. The last three encounters between Napoli and Cagliari that took place in the latter half of the Serie A season have all concluded in a tie (each with a score of 1-1), including the latest match on 25 February 2024, where Zito Luvumbo scored in the 96th minute after Victor Osimhen had put Napoli ahead in the 65th minute.

Napoli has triumphed in nine out of their last 12 home games against Cagliari in Serie A (D2, L1), netting a total of 30 goals during this stretch (averaging 2.5 goals per match) – six of these matches have occurred since matchday 30 (W5, D1 for the Neapolitans).

Buy Serie A tickets

As they head into their final match, Cagliari has matched their total points from the previous championship season (36).  Unfortunately, the Sardinians have suffered defeats in both of their games in this tournament against the team that was leading the table at the start of the day (0-1 against Atalanta on December 14, 2024, and 1-3 against Inter on April 12).

Napoli has netted 57 goals in this championship: throughout the history of the 20-team Serie A.  The team that won the Scudetto with the fewest goals was Milan in the 2010/11 season, finishing with 65 goals in total.

Napoli could potentially become the third distinct team under Antonio Conte’s leadership to clinch the Scudetto.  No coach in Serie A’s history (since the 1929/30 season) has ever achieved this feat with three different clubs (Fabio Capello’s titles in the 2004/05 and 2005/06 seasons with Juventus are not included).

Player Stats

Romelu Lukaku made his debut as a starter for Napoli in Serie A during the first leg against Cagliari on September 15. In that match, the Belgian player scored one goal and provided two assists, contributing to a 4-0 victory.  Lukaku, in 2025, he has been involved in nine goals during home matches (5 goals and 4 assists), setting a record for this period in Serie A, with Scott McTominay following closely behind with seven contributions (5 goals and 2 assists).

In the most recent round against Venezia, Roberto Piccoli achieved double-digit goals.
