Feels weird that Milan are going to come out of their title wilderness before us.
This is half wacky races, half sausage league. And you can draw one, yes… but this Sunday presents a real opportunity to try and floor them already. In fact, Milan plays at home at 3pm and Inter follows suit at 6pm: win your game and they will kick off their downbeat, away from home and 5 points behind.
oh boy
There is something about inter that makes it especially funny when they lose titles like this. Like May 5th is still hilarious, even though it gave juventus the title
I forgot it's inter
Catalogue of errors with that comedy goal, but Radu was stitched up by his teammates there.
Firstly, why the feck was Perisic throwing backwards in the first place? You only do that if there's acres of space and no-one pressing.
Secondly, it seems like the throw-in is intended for de Vrij who should really just hack the ball clear but instead he goes for it and then makes a half-hearted attempt to shepherd it through to Radu.
The ball barely arrives to Radu's feet and he simply panics because he's now under unnecessary pressure from Sansone.

Wtf was that Lazio.
Given how shit Milan are at home, I'd not be surprised if they drop points though.
Serie a probably the most entertaining league this season, followed by prem (kinda).
Nice ride.
Nice ride.
Again Lazio
Lazio
The way bonouci tumbled and nosedived to the ground after scoring
Imagine him scoring the Scudetto winning goal.The way bonouci tumbled and nosedived to the ground after scoring
Some Juve fans are trying to believe in it.
Leao is a great player, flirts with the ball too much however.
Now its milan's title race to lose, that's their hardest game out of the way.
On to inter.
On to inter.
The reaction of Polish commentators when they saw Chiellini coming on for a striker, because Juve were leading against the worst team in the league and Allegri wanted to defend the result
Just Allegri things.

By the way, you've got to love those cameras.
Yeah, La Liga and Serie A. Some high quality production.

Ok this is top notch banter.

Hilarious. They are right.
Allegri is such an ambitious guy. Basically said the result today proves that it was a good thing to get knocked out of the CL.
Yes that was funny.*china*
They never got over calcipoli now did they.
“China” is winning too. I guess that excel-sheet plan is not going very well so far.
Well its not yet obsolete so they can cling on to any hope they might have for the incoming week.Yes that was funny.

Allegri is going to kill Vlahović's career, isn't he? In 2 years he'll be moved to some mid-table EPL club
Allegri's mourinhoization is almost complete
All of you Real fans should be grateful to him for choosing to go back to Juve instead of taking over at Real last summer.. just imagine the horror show with Allegri at the helm of Madrid haha
He still would have the league and I'm not particularly a fan of his.
(Or maybe I'm giving him too much credit but he usually is good at consistently getting results in the league).
How the hell did VAR miss this one?

Like Jose at Roma, he is acting as the running target in order to cover for the owners… which is historically unusual at Juve, but Agnelli is damaged goods as a public persona these days. However, the CL spot is sure now… at what cost in terms of morale and credibility, we will see this Summer.
Why do you lot give agnelli so much shit these days? Oversaw your resurgence back to the top if Italian football, and to be honest his family is juve.
I doubt juve would be where it is now if it wasn't for the agnelli family's fortune and influence.
No sh*t, really, he is rightly avoiding the limelight after a number of bad moves… yet someone has to show up 24/7 to bear the public barrage and it’s only Allegri (the coach) nowadays: no owner, no president, no director.
Nah, it started with that fight on tv with Adani and continued while he was out of a job. Acting as a lightning rod for the club is nothing new. The doubling down on being the "anti-guardiola" is what's new
This is interesting because it seems there is a growing frustration especially in Italy with the way the modern football is being played and Guardiola as one of the its leaders is targeted. Not only Allegri but Fabio Capello and even Antonio Conte who uses some of the Guardiola's principles in his own teams are openly questioning if this is how football should be played. Its not a surprise that it comes from Italy though the Motherland of catenaccio but i find it interesting. I really want to see Pep managing there in the near future..
I used "anti-guardiola" for lack of a better term, and because guardiola is sort of used as the epithome of the process-oriented manager, as opposed to result-oriented managers like Mou and Allegri. Thing is being result-oriented doesn't exclude process, to the point where both Mou(tbf he seems to have relaxed at Roma) and now Allegri became process-oriented themselves - just with a process that is the antithesis or Guardiola(or Klopp, or really any successful modern manager...)
Again, simpler than that: result-oriented coaches are questioning how football is taught in Italy at youngsters level, with Sacchi’s positioning and group tactics dominant upon individual technique and smartness. Therefore, it is 20 years Italy cannot produce generational talents any more and it is showing through WC repeated failures.
Adding that Lippi was a Klopp’s precursor for sure, in terms of intensity and motivation… neither old school catenaccio a la Trapattoni nor abstract patternist a la Guardiola.

Mihajlovic is apparently not doing so good in his fight with cancer.
His team is doing him proud by going unbeaten in their last several games.
I wish him the best in his recovery and fight against cancer.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, referee and VAR Pairetto and Nasca have been suspended until the end of the season.
