Only the two giants of Spanish football can afford Mourinho's wage demands and can meet his […]

The Camp Nou will be the venue when Barcelona host Inter in the second-leg of the Champions League semi-final.

Giampaolo Pazzini scored a double against Roma to lift Sampdoria to a precious 2-1 win and more significantly the Azzurri hopeful handed the title advantage to Inter while confirming his club's European credentials ahead of Palermo and Juventus. With Inter now in the lead, the only match which could see them potentially drop points will […]

Roma were able to fight back and beat their city rivals Lazio after trailing 1-0 at half-time. There were major events during the match starting with the missed penalty by Lazio and then the two surprising yet key substitutions made by Claudio Ranieri.

Inter were expected to emerge from this tie with relative ease yet the first-leg in Milan showed the Russian team will not give up without a fight. The Nerazzurri were able to record a 1-0 victory and will play in Moscow having secured only a slender lead. The Italian champions will probably focus on scoring a […]

The latest reports are indicating Frenchman Karim Benzema could be headed to Italy after just a season in Spain.

The Serie A season has perhaps been overshadowed by the struggles of Juventus which have culminated in the firing of Coach Ciro Ferrara. While it has been gloomy in Turin, the city of Milan has witnessed the revival of the Rossoneri but more importantly the continued dominance of the Nerazzurri on the domestic scene. Coach […]

Juventus suffered another defeat which perhaps came as no surprise despite the fact Roma were rather not impressive until the penalty-kick which was converted by Francesco Totti. The Bianconeri did not deserve to lose the match but the players have certainly been struggling despite putting in a better effort against the Giallorossi. Without discussing the […]

The big story of the weekend was the snow that postponed four matches including the much anticipated Fiorentina-AC Milan match, rescheduled for January 27.  However, the weekend still had plenty of drama, especially around Juventus.  In honor of the holiday season, this week's Lessons will be handing out presents to various people and teams in […]

The best way to sum up the action this past weekend is more of the same.  The top 4 remain the top 4 (with one switch) and those looking in danger of relegation still look in danger of relegation.  However, a few major lessons were learned this week on (and off) the pitch. Racism is […]

What seemed like the perfect opportunity to take the lead in Group F turned out to be a moment of dawning for the Nerazzurri.
