Still fully expect Juve to redominate once their rebuilding is complete as the Milan clubs can't compete financially but it has been a nice change of pace the last couple of years for sure
Yeah sadly that's what I'm expecting. Hopefully the same thing happens here once Guardiola and Klopp leave Man City and Liverpool. They're in their own mini league at the top and have been for a number of years now and it's bad when clubs like United and Chelsea haven't got a hope of breaking through in the league at least. I think it'll take a change of manager in both of them to break the duopoly and leave the door ajar for someone else.
Juve are under huge pressure to win it next season having bought Vlahovic who may well turn his sights elsewhere if he doesn't start to win trophies fast. Di Maria & Pogba are arriving and that should improve the team but a gameplan must be worked at by Allegri in order to properly compete next season. Like most on here, chuffed to bits that Milan won it and mainly thanks to its French contigent (Maignan, Kalulu, Hernandez, Giroud all played a massive part this season, Bakayoko was meh as usual). Key players not getting injured like Leao was key for me. He was absolutely immense and hands down player of the season. Very happy for Zlatan too who remains a model pro even in his 40s! And what a player that Tonali is and is going to be! Amazing season from them all.
Maignan has been an incredible surprise, nobody knew him here, he's been the best keeper of the season. Leao has been nominated MVP, Bremer best defender, Brozovic best midfielder, Immobile best striker and Osimhen best U23.
According to wikipedia, this is the best undefeated season ever by any team 1993–94 Liga Leumit - Wikipedia
That one guy who was hired and saccked 4 times by the same club (Palermo)... in 50 months @Super_horns That makes Watford feel good for managers right? Edit: Quick summary of Palermo
Lazio v Napoli is really entertaining. Napoli have finally taken the 2-1 lead that their performance deserves.
Two good games to watch this afternoon. Missed the first half of the Milan derby but the 2nd was superb. 1-1 at the break and Milan took a commanding 3-1 lead thanks to goals from Giroud & Leao (superb goal, watch it if you can). Inter pulled one back against the run of play thanks to Dzeko which meant the final minutes were tense. Proper derby. Napoli won 2-1 at Lazio tonight and the gap in quality between the two sides really should show a better scoreline for the visitors. When Lazio only brought in the likes of Romagnoli & Vecino, Napoli enrolled Kim Min-Jae, strong Korean CB, and have aptly replaced Insigne but a great Georgian winger who scored the winner tonight (he hit the post in the 1st half). Lazio are just depressing to watch. I feel like it's the same squad for 5 years running now. There is very little going on in the transfer market in terms of attacking players and it shows. Immobile is only one man and needs movement around him which he is not getting as much as he'd like especially from Milinkovic-Savic (where is this guy's career going?). Deserved win for Napoli.
Gareth Southgate was in Udinese watching Abraham and Smalling playing for Roma. Unfortunately for them they lost 4-0!
Extraordinary end to the Juventus - Salernitana game, finishes 2-2 after Juve come back from 2-0 down. Juventus equalise at the start of stoppage time with a very soft penalty. Then Milk heads in what he thinks is the winner, is subsequently sent off for his celebrations… then the goal is disallowed after a VAR check In the mass brawl which happened as all that went on, Cuadrado was also sent off for Juve and Fazio sent off for Salernitana. So a penalty, a disallowed winner and three reds all crammed into stoppage time- oh, and Allegri was sent off from the touch line too! Good point for Salernitana, albeit a strange one- they probably should have all three as the equalising penalty seemed very soft, but then could have easily gone away with nothing if not for VAR.
