That was a huge howler by Inter’s reserve GK Radu! Won’t live that one down if it costs them the title by a point or two.

What an amazing keeper Mike Maignan is, that was a ripper signing by Milan after they lost Donnarumma.

Oh boy, Salernitana are out of the drop zone

Will be an interesting last 3 weeks to see who out of them and Cagliari wants Serie A status more
Doing incredibly well, very impressive win against Fiorentina and they just keep on performing, unlike Cagliari and Genoa they have goals in them. Cult figure in Milan Djuric too.

Big game against Cagliari this weekend, who have been insipid lately, maybe their new manager will give them some ideas other than lumping it up to Pavoletti and Pedro.

Genoa with two late goals to beat Juve and give themselves a chance of staying up.

Inter win after being down 0-2 to Empoli as late as 40 mins in
Elite

I ruled out Genoa yesterday, but boy they've kept themselves alive another week, fair play to them, but if Salerno win they're pretty much done

SMH Napoli

Grinding out results when the pressure is off, implode when destiny is in our own hands, or thereabouts...

We deserved to lose to Fiorentina, we were garbage that day, but if we held our friggin nerve against Roma and Empoli and played out the 90+ minutes we'd be level with Inter and a chance still...

Surprised this is Inter's first Coppa Italia since 2011
Juve didn't win many for a long time either, nothing between 1995-2015 (can't remember if they had any stripped because of Calciopoli), Roma equalled their record when Roma won their last one in 2008, but Juve has skipped well ahead again

Milan hasn't won one since 2003 for example and also only have won 5 in their history, Fiorentina, Napoli, Lazio and Roma all have won more than them and Torino has 5 also.

Milan pretty close now, just need a point away to Sassuolo (albiet a dangerous team on their day). Rafael Leao again brilliant for Milan.

Nice send off also for Insigne, his last home game at the Maradona. 3-0 win seecured 3rd. Have felt flat watching Napoli's last few games, what could've been...

Vintage Atalanta for both Milan goals.
The players need to be taught how to foul on the break. Don't think Boga fits gasperinis system at all.

Well played to Milan, a lot of their squad is underwhelming on paper but credit to Pioli for getting them to gel as a unit and getting the best out of Leao, Hernandez, Giroud etc.

Venezia v Cagliari and Salernitana v Udinese massive games this week.

Salernitana had a penalty saved by Vicario (who was excellent) denying them victory against Empoli, it was a fantastic game and very open (as most Empoli games are).
Venezia are down, you'd think Cagliari rocks up for this one with all to play for?

So all depends perhaps on Udinese rocking up for Salernitana

Cagliari has the better goal difference too, as their H2H is equal, so Salernitana against better opposition needs to win to guarantee safety

A Sassuolo special would be interesting

They've performed well against the top 4 this season too IIRC

And yep, been hard last few weeks watching us, only thing to take for the year is finishing ahead of Juve.
 
Giroud puts Milan 2-0 up.

Established1870 held off for months for this until the title was confirmed. That decision to overlook Rangnick and stick with Pioli for getting top 4.
Vindicated. 2nd to Conte's Inter and followed by the scudetto.
