Inter Steady, Milan Fly, and Fiorentina Fizzle (Episode #48)
Vos, Motts, and Logs return to unpack a wild Match Week 32, headlined by a tense 1-1 draw in the Derby della Capitale. Roma couldn't capitalize on their chances, while Lazio showed signs of life but lacked a cutting edge. With both clubs clinging to European hopes, it was a result that leaves more questions than answers. Milan turned heads with a dominant 4-0 win over Udinese, finally unlocking their potential in a fluid 3-4-3 that looked sharp from back to front. Meanwhile, Inter continued their steady march toward the title with a composed 3-1 win over Cagliari, while Napoli quietly took care of Empoli in a convincing 3-0 result. Atalanta handed Bologna a rare defeat, but it was a rock fight outside of the two goals. Despite the loss, Bologna and Milan are now perfectly level on goal difference, goals scored, and goals conceded — a true tale of two cities. Elsewhere, Juve edged Lecce, Como snuck past Torino (with a very animated Cesc on the touchline), and Venezia handled business at home once again. In Europe, Inter best Bayern in the Champions League first leg, Lazio suffered a rough showing against Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League, and Fiorentina barely scraped by Celje in the Conference League. The first leg of the Coppa Italia derby ended 1-1, but Bologna look to already have a spot in the final. The crew also previews a massive Match Week 33 slate, with top-four and relegation implications everywhere you look. Hit play and join the conversation.
