The gap is now one point and Inter have a game in hand.AC Milan failed to make up any ground on Juventus as they drew 2-2 at home to Bologna, missing from the spot on two occasions.

Matchday 11 of the 2023/24 Serie A season saw the possible title race take on a new complexion with the headline result being AC Milan's 1-0 home defeat against an Udinese side who were yet to win a game this season. That defeat and victories for Inter and Juventus mean that things are starting to look a little bleak for Stefano Pioli and his side, albeit with a lot of the season still left to play. Inter's win came away at Atalanta with another superb goal from Lautaro Martinez.Juventus went away to Fiorentina and whilst they certainly didn't excite the watching fans, they efficiently won 1-0 and they are just two points behind Inter with a lot fewer games to contend with.To chat through all of the Serie A results from Matchday 11, Euan Burns hosts Vito Doria and Kevin Pogorzelski on this weekend's Italian Football Podcast.

The 2023/24 Serie A season is finally underway, and we didn't need to wait long for surprises to be sprung. We are here to talk through all of the Serie A Matchday 1 action.After Napoli had overcome an early scare at Frosinone to win and Inter subsequently saw off Monza, both AS Roma and Lazio slipped up on Sunday against Salernitana and Lecce respectively. There was good news for the Lupi though as Andrea Belotti ended his 15-month wait for a Serie A goal, scoring twice in an excellent performance, but Lazio threw away a 1-0 lead to lose 2-1 in Salento, conceding twice after the 85th minute. Elsewhere, Charles De Ketelaere enjoyed a dream debut for Atalanta, helping them to a 2-0 win at Sassuolo, and Juventus started well with a comprehensive 3-0 win away to Udinese. Fiorentina won 4-1 at Genoa and Hellas Verona beat Empoli 1-0. Bologna vs AC Milan and Torino vs Cagliari are Monday night games, so you'll have to wait until the bonus podcast this week to hear those discussed.To discuss it all, Conor Clancy hosts Euan Burns, Kevin Pogorzelski and Vito Doria.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/forzaitlianfootball.

The 2022/23 season of Italian football has (finally) come to a close and it is fair to say it has been an entertaining one. We had a fourth different Serie A winner in four years, which was Napoli with their first title in 33 years. There was also an additional relegation playoff at the end of the season which was not expected, as well as an Italian team featuring in all three of the major UEFA competition finals. They may have all lost, but it's the taking part that really counts.There were some incredible individual seasons for the likes of Victor Osimhen, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Ivan Provedel, Federico Dimarco and many more. We discuss them in our individual and combined Team's of the Season as well as all of the action that went down over the past 10 months.Conor Clancy is hosting what is our last free podcast until the 2023/34 season gets underway, which you can listen to here.

The 2022/23 Serie A season is ove… nope! Before the curtain finally falls on this seemingly never-ending season, Spezia and Hellas Verona will have to do battle in a brand-new relegation playoff after both sides finished level on 31 points. That aside, the regular season has come to an end with everybody having played 38 games.There wasn't too much to resolve on the final matchday with the Champions League places already sealed and two of the three relegation places as well, but both Atalanta and AS Roma secured qualification for the Europa League with Juventus qualifying for the Europa Conference League. Then there were some emotional farewells with Fabio Quagliarella bowing out as a Sampdoria player - and maybe as a professional footballer - in his home city at Napoli's Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Up north, Zlatan Ibrahimovic hung up his boots at an emotional San Siro.To chat through the Matchday 38 action - and with a season review pod to come - Kevin Pogorzelski joins Conor Clancy.

Matchday 36 was action packed for issues both on and off the field, with Juventus' 10-point deduction overshadowing everything else to have taken place over the weekend, even with Cremonese officially suffering relegation from Serie A to immediately return to Serie B.Juventus' off-field issues might have played a part as they fell to a 4-1 hammering at Empoli, AC Milan thumped Sampdoria 5-1, Napoli beat Inter 3-1, Atalanta saw off Hellas Verona, and Lazio won at Udinese as well. AS Roma were unable to keep up with their fellow European hopefuls, drawing at home to Salernitana. At the bottom, Lecce and Spezia played out a goalless draw that really didn't suit either of them.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/forzaitlianfootball. Hosted on Acast.

With the six teams fighting over three Champions League qualification spots all facing each other, it was sure to be an important weekend of action in Serie A. Whilst AC Milan, AS Roma and Juventus secured vital wins, things are starting to look bleak for Spezia at the bottom. There was also more racial abuse in the stands to discuss, this time concerning Dusan Vlahovic and the Atalanta fans. Euan Burns is hosting with Kevin Pogorzelski and Vito Doria joining.

Napoli could and should have sealed their third scudetto on Matchday 32 of this Serie A season, and Inter's win over Lazio put it on a plate for the Partenopei. Needing just a win at home to Salernitana, Napoli conceded late to put the champagne back on ice… not that the city of Naples got the memo.Back from the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, Conor Clancy hosts Euan Burns and Kevin Pogorzelski to talk through all of the weekend's football, having also seen AS Roma Women successfully get the job done in being crowned Serie A Femminile champions on Saturday.The guys discuss Inter's win over Lazio, Napoli's failure to see off Salernitana, Juventus' latest slip at Bologna, AC Milan and AS Roma's bore draw in the capital, and plenty more. There's a midweek round of Serie A now which will likely see Napoli win the league.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/forzaitlianfootball. Hosted on Acast.

It's starting to look like nobody in Serie A wants to finish in the top four and qualify for next season's Champions League, and Matchday 30 again saw everybody but AS Roma slip up in pursuit of the remaining places behind Napoli and Lazio.Juventus lost at Sassuolo, AC Milan drew at Bologna and Inter lost at home to Monza. Napoli themselves drew 0-0 at home to Verona and Lazio beat Spezia 3-0 in Liguria. At the bottom, Cremonese managed their third win of the Serie A season at home to Empoli and Sampdoria drew at Lecce. Torino and Salernitana drew as well.To chat through all the above, Euan Burns steps into the host's seat and has Vito Doria and Kev Pogorzelski to help him through.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/forzaitlianfootball.

There was one particularly stunning result in Serie A on Matchday 28 which saw AC Milan win 4-0 away at runaway league leaders Napoli. That is where much of the focus lies but with all of the other teams chasing a Champions League place also winning except for Inter, we look at how long Simone Inzaghi has likely got left in the job. It was an undramatic set of wins for Atalanta, AS Roma, Lazio and Juventus whilst a big game at the bottom between Salernitana and Spezia ended 1-1.

It was a weekend of huge derbies in Serie A, and both Lazio and Juventus were celebrating wins over their respective rivals AS Roma and Inter on Matchday 27, coming out on top in the Derby della Capitale and the Derby d'Italia. Things got heated in both of those games on Sunday, finishing off a good weekend of Serie A action that saw Napoli extend their lead at the top to 19 points and putting the Scudetto within reach as soon as Matchday 31. The runaway leaders beat Torino handily with a 4-0 win on the road. Elsewhere, Atalanta fought back to beat Empoli at home, AC Milan lost on the road at Udinese, and Scotland's Lewis Ferguson was on target again for Bologna. Even Sampdoria claimed a huge 3-1 home win over Hellas Verona to get off the bottom of the table.To chat through it all, Conor Clancy is joined by Kev Pogorzelski and Euan Burns.
