Italian Serie A - 2021-2022

To think Sportint could have had Rafael Leao and Daniel Podence on the wings for a couple of seasons if not for that 2018 summer.

The moment Leao debuted for Sporting you could see how special he was
 
Leao looks great. I hope Milan can win it, would be very good to see.
 
Fiorentina currently two up on Roma.

Lazio, Roma and Viola all currently on 59 points in live table with two games left.

Just wondered what the vibe would be if Mourinho finished 8th? Yes it's important to get Roma a trophy....but it is only the conference league so is it really worth finishing 8th to win that?

Yes because the Conference League winner qualifies for the Europa League :lol:

They're already in europa qualification position so completely different to Leicester having to win it with no chance of getting in via league. Or him having different scenario in 2017 when Man. United finished 6th and he had to win europa to get them in CL.

Just intrigued by the scenario Mourinho could finish 8th after a full league season and barely an Ancelotti style eyebrow is raised.

It won't be a big deal. It's clear the team is going in the right direction with what they have been doing the last couple of months, and this was always going to be a transitional year for them. What matters is what they are going to do next season and which players they are going to buy/sell.

Regardless of any results, I think they benefited a lot from this season and will have a good idea how to start a rebuild in summer.

It won't matter if they win the Conference league

They have to finish in the top 6. But the importance of the trophy for Roma is of another nature. They haven't won a trophy since 2008 (14 years!). Leicester won a trophy last season.
 
Let’s start banging the drum for Juventus - Inter, Coppa Italia final, tomorrow night at 9pm Italian time! Will we be able to derail Inter’s bid for the doblete? Zeru tituli for Plastic China FC would be so wooooonderful. :D

I Like the idea of calling clubs by the origins of their owners.
 
I think it is common to give the reserve keeper game time in Cup competitions.

And Juve takes the lead.
 
Usually you won't take that risk against your blood enemies.

@Bepi probably has a better answer.

But it seems Szczesny hasn't been that good lately. And Perin is a reliable backup. The upgrade Tek offers in one game doesn't seem to be worth disrespecting this tradition over.

Fair enough.
 
Juve have been really unlucky in their 2 cup final meetings with inter recently.
 
Inter complete the first part of their double pursuit.

Now milan has to slip for them to complete it.
