Vos & Mottsare back from Italy with stories to tell and plenty of calcio to cover. From stadium tours in Milan and Turin to catching a Juve match live, it was a trip packed with unforgettable moments. Lake Como offered serenity — but back in Serie A, the chaos is just beginning.

Inter booked their spot in the Champions League Final after a wild two-legged showdown with Barcelona and now face PSG in Munich. But domestically, Inzaghi’s side have faltered — crashing out of the Coppa Italia and likely losing the league. Is this the end of the road for him if they don’t bring home European glory?

Speaking of finals, the Coppa Italia is set: AC Milan will face Bologna in Rome. While Milan chase silverware to salvage their season, Italiiano's Bologna are looking for a statement on the biggest stage. But if Bologna fall short in both the cup and top-four race… is the season still a success?

In the league, Napoli hold a narrow 3-point lead at the top with three matches to go. Conte’s tactical flexibility has been the difference — Motts makes the case for why this version of Conte might be his most impressive yet. 

Down the table, it’s a dogfight for European spots with Juventus, Roma, Lazio, Bologna, Fiorentina, and Milan all neck-and-neck. Roma look red hot, Lazio face a brutal run-in, and Juve… well, still look like Juve. Meanwhile, Monza are officially down, and Venezia, Empoli, and Lecce are in a desperate scrap to avoid joining them.
