An action-packed Serie A weekend reshapes the race for the top spots. Inter remain firmly in control with a 3–1 win over Cagliari at San Siro, shrugging off recent doubts and making a statement ahead of their European fixture. The Nerazzurri go six points clear of Napoli, who respond with a commanding 3–0 victory over Empoli, led by a brilliant brace from McTominay and a goal from a rejuvenated Lukaku. Juventus, meanwhile, edge Lecce 2–1 thanks to a fast start and two assists from an inspired Vlahovic, solidifying their position in third ahead of a key clash with Atalanta.
At the Meazza, Inzaghi’s side strike early with Arnautovic and Lautaro, only to concede briefly to Piccoli. But Bisseck’s header restores the gap and seals the win. In Turin, Juventus shine through Yildiz’s flair and Koopmeiners' clinical finish but survive a late scare after Baschirotto's header narrows the margin. Down in Naples, it’s total dominance: McTominay scores twice like a true leader, Lukaku breaks his drought, and Conte’s side reignite their title hopes.
In the capital, balance prevails. Lazio and Roma share the points in a fiery 1–1 draw. Romagnoli strikes early in the second half, but Soulé responds with a stunner under the bar. Both Svilar and Mandas shine in goal. The 185th Roman derby ends with no winner, but shows both teams remain key players in the race for Europe.
