It was a thrilling weekend of football, with emotions running high in both positive and negative turns. At the top of the standings, little has changed. Napoli held onto their lead, finishing 1-1 against Inter. Calhanoglu equalized McTominay’s opening goal, but a penalty miss by the Inter midfielder spared Conte’s team. Simone Inzaghi’s Inter remains just one point behind, along with Atalanta, Fiorentina, and Lazio.
All the chasers secured wins. Atalanta came from behind to beat Udinese 2-1, while Kean's hat-trick led Fiorentina to a 3-1 victory over Verona. Lazio clinched a narrow 1-0 win away against Monza, thanks to a Zaccagni goal. Juventus holds the sixth spot, staying close in the race with goals from Weah and Yildiz sealing the Turin derby, condemning Torino to their sixth loss in the last seven games.
Milan suffered a late upset in Cagliari, drawing 3-3 with Fonseca’s team despite Leao’s best performance of the season, unable to replicate their Champions League success against Real Madrid. The Rossoneri sit seventh in the standings, six points behind sixth place with a game in hand. Milan shares this spot with Vincenzo Italiano’s Bologna, who secured their third consecutive victory in Rome (3-2) and contributed to Ivan Juric’s dismissal after the defeat at the Olimpico. The coming hours will be crucial in determining who will lead Roma after the break.
