👉 Hello, my friends. Here are the 2023-2024 Italian Serie A Week 26 RESULTS / Twenty-sixth Round on Friday 23, Saturday 24, Sunday 25, and Monday 26 February 2024. Inter are having a great season! Inter is the sole leader with 66 points after crushing Lecce with a 4-0. Let’s not forget, that Inter have a game to recover. Juventus follow in the 2nd position with 57 points after defeating Frosinone with a 3-2.
A special day for Inter forward Lautaro Martínez scoring his 100th goal in Serie A and up to Week 26 he is the top scorer this season with 22 goals.
100 – Lautaro Martínez 🇦🇷 is the third foreign player able of scoring 100 goals in Serie A with Inter, after Stefano Nyers and Mauro Icardi. Historic.#LecceInterpic.twitter.com/1mp4cxSwQs
AC Milan slowing down and continue to make mistakes. AC Milan and Atalanta ended the game with a draw. Milan did not break through Atalanta’s wall. Calabria, Pulisic, and Olivier Giroud missed the winning shot, Rafael Leao’s goal at the start but was not enough. Atalanta snatched a golden point despite a lackluster performance, thanks to Koopmeiners’ penalty at the end of the first half. Simply put, Milan reached 53 points and although they keep the 3rd position, they let go 2 precious points. Juventus with 57 points are +4 points above Milan with 53 points. Milan are now 13 points behind Inter. At this point, it might be goodbye Scudetto.
Salernitana are just living a nightmare. The fifth consecutive useful result and second victory in a row for Monza, who also found their fourth clean sheet in the last five matches and rose to 36 points in the standings, catching Torino in tenth place (who will play at Roma on Monday). A second defeat in two matches as coach of Salernitana, however, for Fabio Liverani, with the Granata team collecting the seventh defeat in eight matches in 2024 and thus remaining seven points from the safety zone, also risking seeing the margin increase in the event of victory of Cagliari (tomorrow on the pitch against Cagliari).
A fundamental victory for Roma which leaves Lazio by 4 points and closes to Atalanta, fresh from the draw with Milan, at -2. The Giallorossi, who also scored 3 goals last day, are 12 in 4 games. For Turin, however, the opportunity to overcome Napoli was missed. Granata tenths at 36 points.
It’s Dybala’s show at the Olimpico: the Argentine unlocks the match from the spot, Torino responds to his first goal with the Bellanova-Zapata axis. In the second half the Giallorossi number 10 doubled their lead with a curling shot from 25 metres, shortly afterwards Lukaku entered and provided the assist for the Argentine’s third goal. At the end, Huijsen was unlucky and deflected Ricci’s cross-shot from a tight angle. It ends 3 to 2 for Roma against Torino.

Napoli under pressure to improve their performance. Cagliari and Napoli ended the Serie A Week 26 game with a draw on Sunday 25 February 2024 at the Unipol Domus in Cagliari, Italy. This is the second draw in a row for Cagliari, who now join Hellas Verona and Sassuolo on 20 points. However, the bad period continues for Napoli, which remains in ninth position with only 37 points. Napoli with the last home draw 1-1 with Genoa which cost Walter Mazzarri the bench. This week, the Neapolitans faced Barcelona for the first leg of the Champions League round of 16: Calzona’s debut on the bench saw his team draw 1-1 against the Blaugrana. Cagliari believed in it until the end and found the equalizer with the last ball of the match. A mockery therefore for Napoli and for Calzona, making his championship debut today. A ray of hope?
The goals both arrived in the second half: in the 65th minute Raspadori recovered the ball high on the right, then crossed towards the far post where Osimhen had left his mark well and only had to head it into the net.
Napoli got the opening score in the 65th minute. Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen defeated Cagliari goalkeeper Simone Scuffet from very close range with a headed shot to the bottom left corner. The assist is by Giacomo Raspadori.

Cagliari crushed Napoli’s hope to get this victoy by equalizing in the 85th minute. It is Zito Luvumbo to defeat Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret with a right footed shot to the top right corner. The assist is by Alberto Dossena.
✅ Stats before the game: Cagliari have won only one of their last 25 matches against Napoli in Serie A (7D, 17L); furthermore, in none of the last 14 matches have the Sardinians scored more than one goal against the Neapolitans, scoring seven goals, none of which during the first half. Napoli have won six of the last seven away matches against Cagliari in Serie A (1N), scoring on average 2.9 goals per game in the set, although the only draw in the period came in the most recent match: 1-1 on 21 February 2022, on the 26th day of the championship. After a home run of four wins and two draws in Serie A, Cagliari have lost their last two home games and the last time they suffered three home defeats in a row in the same top flight dates back to March-April 2022, under the guide of Walter Mazzarri. Napoli have never repeated the same result twice in a row in the last 10 games played in Serie A (3W, 3D, 4L); furthermore, the Neapolitans have not scored in five away games in a row (1D, 4P) and in a single top-flight championship they have not done worse since April 1973 – a series that even reached 14, with Giuseppe Chiappella as coach. Napoli have 29 points less than the same point in the last championship: no reigning champion team had ever had such a negative difference after 24 games played compared to the previous season in the history of the single-group Serie A – the record belonged to Milan 1957 /58 (-26 points, counting 3 points per victory all along).
