Italian Soccer Serie A

Hello, my friends. Here are the 2019-2020 Serie A Week 25 RESULTS / Twenty-fifth Round on Friday 21, Saturday 22, and Sunday 23 February 2020.

👉 Up to Serie A Week 25: There is a three-way race between Juventus (60), Lazio (59), and Inter (54).

First of all, let me tell you, that the Italian Government took the measure to cancel events in the region of Veneto and Lombardy.  The Coronavirus alarm in Italy sending the emergency measure. The Italian government takes this action to avoid the spread of the virus claiming already 79 confirmed cases including 2 deaths in Italy. The games postponed are Atalanta vs Sassuolo, Inter vs Sampdoria, Hellas Verona vs Cagliari, and Torino vs Parma.

The status quo of the Serie A in the leadership remains the same.  Juventus is the sole leader reaching 60 points after defeating SPAL with a 2-1.  The main highlight of this match is the celebration of Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo playing his 1,000 professional games.  The celebration for Cristiano at its best because he also scored a goal.   Surely, Cristiano never stop surprising football fans.  Cristiano adding another record in this game scoring  for an 11th straight league game in the Serie A.  The record was set by forward Gabriel Batistuta in 1994 and equalized by forward Fabio Quagliarella last season.

Bad news is for SPAL because they remain in the last position of the Serie A.  It seems SPAL not finding their way for salvation to remain in the Serie A next season.  Something must be done in the next few games….

⚽️ Serie A Top Scorer up to Week 25:
Lazio forward Ciro Immobile with 26 goals

Lazio super motivated keeping up the race for the Scudetto very tight.  Lazio defeated Genoa with a 2-3 at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium.  Lazio reaching 59 points is only -1 point below Juventus with 60.  The super hero and absolute king is forward Ciro Immobile scoring a goal while being the top scorer of the Serie A wiht 26 goals.

Fiorentina and AC Milan ended with a draw.  The draw is more like a failure for AC Milan because they were leading and their objective was to claim all 3 points.  Fiorentina remaining with 10 players in the 62nd minute. Referee Calvarese sent off with a red card Dalbert after a foul on Zlatan Ibrahimovic.  Simply put, AC Milan once again disappointing the fans failing to win despite having an extra player for almost 30 minutes.  Fiorentina saved at least 1 point when Erick Pulgar converted a penalty in the 85th minute.

Bologna and Udinese also ending with a draw.

Napoli with a boost to the morale of the squad after defeating Brescia with a 1-2.  Napoli rushing to climb up the Serie A dreaming with the objective to reach the European Zone.  Napoli reached 36 points while Brescia remain in the relegation zone with 16 points.

AS Roma giving a tough lesson to Lecce at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium.  Roma crushed Lecce with a poker and a clean sheet 4-0.  Roma reaching 42 points in the 5th position while Lecce remain in the 19th position losing their 17 game this season.
