After nine consecutive victories, Atalanta took first place for the first time in this championship. The match, played on Friday evening at the Gewiss Stadium, saw the Nerazzurri win 2-1 against AC Milan. There was no lack of controversy over some refereeing decisions by the Rossoneri coach.
Opening the scoring was the classic goal of the ex with Charles De Ketelaere. Morata scored the momentary Rossoneri equaliser, followed by Lookman’s winning goal. It was a just reward for La Dea, who simply had to wait for the result of the Sunday post-match between Napoli and Lazio to see if the ninth symphony was the right one to get to the top of the table.
Moreover, the Capitolini, after eliminating the Azzurri from the Coppa Italia, managed to repeat at the Maradona. Isaksenn’s pearl earned Baroni third place at minus one from Napoli, with 32 points, in the company of Inter and Fiorentina, who have one game left to play.
Fiorentina like Atalanta
If Atalanta are playing ninth, the Viola are not to be outdone; Palladino’s men manage to get the three points thanks to Cataldi and remain anchored to the top positions. The team from Florence, still orphaned of Bove, plays and has fun, managing to achieve the eighth consecutive victory.
Dreaming costs nothing, but this team, with the arrival of the former Brianza coach, seems to have found feeling and men capable of taking Commisso’s team to the top.
Inter: ok vs Parma
On the other hand, in Friday’s early match, Inter managed to win against Parma 3-1. A match dominated far and wide by Inzaghi’s men. The goals by Dimarco, Barella and Thuram were the result of great collective and individual plays. It was a pity that Lautaro was left out against Parma, but the Nerazzurri captain showed a growing condition, coming close to scoring on several occasions.
Martinez will never be a problem for Inter, and if not only Thuram but also the midfielders start scoring, the opponents will have to be very careful. The declared goal is the Champions League final, but with 25 players everything is possible, especially if they all will be heading towards one goal: to win.
Juve: a bad moment and -7 to Atalanta
Those who continue to lose ground, for one reason or another, is Juventus. Despite the 2-2 draw, the Bianconeri had the skill to recover the double disadvantage, although, to be honest, perhaps the men of Italiano could have done more.
The Emilians, in fact, gave up at 2-0, allowing the Bianconeri to recover the double disadvantage. A point that will certainly boost morale, but that still leaves open some doubts on the team’s resilience and especially on the physical management. Too many injuries and a too short bench are taking away Motta’s energy and points: the first position has flown to 7 points.
Ranieri take the first win
Finally, a thought for Roma’s first victory under Sir Claudio Ranieri. The former Cagliari coach scored his first league victory at the helm of the Giallorossi. Perhaps, under the guidance of the Roman coach, the team will finally be able to find some peace of mind and results that until now have conditioned the team’s performance.
There are still many games to go until the end of the championship, but with a short league table, perhaps we will see an exciting challenge. Who will win? Atalanta, Napoli, Inter? The important thing is that we continue to talk about football and sport with respect for everything and everyone.
