The Serie A weekend isn’t over yet, with two games still to play, but it has already delivered goals, drama, and a few surprises. At the top, the fierce race between Napoli and Inter continues, while Atalanta find themselves in a tricky position, having lost ground due to recent setbacks. Lazio, meanwhile, stumbled at home against Fiorentina. The battle for European spots is heating up, with five teams separated by just five points. At the bottom, the fight for survival grows increasingly intense.
Let’s start at the top. On Saturday night, Napoli managed to overturn a Juventus lead to claim a crucial victory. Kolo Muani put the Bianconeri ahead in the first half, but second-half goals from Anguissa and Lukaku handed Napoli all three points, dealing Juve their first league defeat of the season. Napoli remain at the top of the table, but Inter responded emphatically, thrashing Lecce 4-0 in Salento. Simone Inzaghi’s team delivered a strong performance despite some key absences, staying just three points behind Napoli with a game in hand. Atalanta also secured a victory, though not without difficulty, away at Como. Nico Paz put the home side in front, but Retegui’s brace rescued Gasperini’s side and got them back on track.
Further down the table, several teams continue to chase Champions League qualification. Lazio faltered with a home defeat to Fiorentina, who claimed all three points thanks to goals from Adli and Beltrán, snapping out of a tough spell. Milan pulled off a thrilling comeback against Parma, winning 3-2 in stoppage time. Bologna, on the other hand, were held to a draw at Empoli, missing a chance to gain ground.
Roma finally broke their away curse, securing their first road win of the season against Udinese. Two penalties were enough for the Giallorossi to overturn an early goal from Lucca and claim a vital victory. At the bottom of the table, ahead of Venezia-Verona and Genoa-Monza, the battle for survival remains intense. Parma and Lecce both lost to Milan and Inter, respectively. Torino climbed out of the danger zone with a home win over Cagliari, thanks to Adams’ brace. The Sardinian side now sit just two points above the relegation zone. Empoli picked up a point at home but will need to do much more to stay afloat.
