Two excellent wins against England and Hungary saw Italy top its UEFA Nations League group and go through to the final four, together with Spain, Croatia and Holland. Mina Rzouki and Nicky Bandini break down these matches with the backdrop of the disappointment of not qualifying for the World Cup.

Did Roberto Mancini get too attached during World Cup qualifying to the players who won Euro 2020?

Gigio Donnarumma starred in goal for Italy, and Nicky and Mina debate whether his move to PSG ultimately proved costly to the national team, or if it has actually been beneficial.

Giacomo Raspadori scored in each match, but who are the players that Mancini can rely on to come back in for Euro 2024 qualifying?

We preview Round 8 of Serie A coming up this weekend, with Inter v Roma the standout match-up that will see Marcelo Brozović missing through injury and José Mourinho back at his old stomping ground again.

And an excellent question from a Chronicles Tifosi Patreon member about the pace of Serie A in comparison with other leagues sparks an intriguing discussion.

An interesting perspective on watching and analysing football... Mina Rzouki answers a question from a Chronicles Tifosi member:

Regarding Dušan Vlahović, I am curious if he is playing differently now than he did at Fiorentina, that has caused Mina to change her opinion on him? Or is it a case of watching a player's performances more closely because he now plays for your club and as a result, one is able to make a better judgement on them? Did Mina have these concerns about Vlahovic even previously, while he was at Fiorentina?

After a change of management, Monza finally got out of first gear and past turn one by getting their first ever win in Serie A by defeating a hapless and dispirited Juventus. It remains to be seen if Berlusconi's boys have the strategy to move up in the grid and avoid relegation.

And while Juve remains stalled in the pit lane being frantically worked on by a pit crew seemingly less competent than Binotto's Ferrari bunnies, one thing seems clear: Allegri in or #AllegriOut, a Scudetto for Scuderia Juve this season looks unlikely. But while there is yet no change in management, can Mighty Max come up with a strategy to get their season back on track?

Milan and Napoli provided an entertaining top-of-the-table clash at San Siro which was an excellent advertisement for Serie A. Mina and Nicky break down how Napoli brought home a victory that can be attributed as much to the Partenopei management team which has assembled this squad, as the talent on the pitch.

It's crisis time for Juventus, but can the same be said of Inter under Inzaghi's trigger-happy substitutions at Udinese? 

Plus we discuss that wonderful bianconeri team - the Friuliani one - in sensational form, extending its winning streak to five and looking like they might cause some damage this season.

After a change of management, Monza finally got out of first gear and past turn one by getting their first ever win in Serie A by defeating a hapless and dispirited Juventus. It remains to be seen if Berlusconi's boys have the strategy to move up in the grid and avoid relegation.

But while there is yet no change in management, can Mighty Max come up with a strategy to get their season back on track? (Yes, all Formula 1 references are now exhausted!)...

And Roma's inability to finish any of its abundant goal-scoring chances allowed Atalanta to steal a precious win at the Olimpico to see Gasperini's side level on the top of the table with Napoli.

A crazy end to Juventus v Salernitana saw La Vecchia Signora's late comeback denied in bizarre circumstances as Milik's late winner was incorrectly ruled out by VAR, which missed a key detail, and players and managers alike saw red. 

Nicky and Mina break it all down, including some interesting thoughts on Dusan Vlahovic's start to the season, and not forgetting to sing the praises of a much improved Salernitana.

Torino made hard work for Inter's win.

A 10-man Milan overcame Sampdoria, with Rafael Leao sent off for dangerous play.

Giacomo Raspadori got off the mark for Napoli, scoring a late winner over Spezia.

Cremonese snatched a draw at Atalanta, causing La Dea to miss a chance to be alone atop the table.

Udinese are on a flying run, beating Sassuolo away and earning their 4th win in a row.

And Sinisa Mihajlovic is sadly fired by Bologna.

Mina is back this week, joining Nicky after another exciting round of Serie A matches.

Milan paints la città red again after taking the first Derby della Madonnina of the season, with a wondrous performance from last season's Serie A player of the season Rafael Leão.

Udinese hit Roma for 4, which no one saw coming, which has Mina accusing Paulo Dybala of being "all foreplay, no finish"!

After a lifeless draw at Fiorentina, we wonder if Max Allegri's cynicism and defensive strength will be enough to turn Juventus into a winning team.

Lazio and Napoli provided an entertaining match but the star of the show was again Kvaradona, sealing the away win for the Partenopei with another excellent strike. We have plenty more praise for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

A preview of this week's Champions League and Europa League clashes which sees some tough matches for Italian clubs including Juventus taking on PSG, Inter against Bayern Munich, and Napoli against Liverpool.

Plus some listener questions about Inter's Robin Gosens, and could Celtic's Australian manager Ange Postecoglou be a good fit as a successor to Allegri at Juventus?

Nicky is flying solo this week as she discusses a Lazio v Inter clash which threw up a surprise result for the biancocelesti. Maurizio Sarri continues to mould Lazio into his own image, with some standout performers taking the points from Simone Inzaghi's Inter. How worrying is the loss for the nerazzurri, compounded by Lukaku's injury ahead of this weekend's Milan derby?

Juventus were fast out of the blocks a with an aggressive, high pressure game against Roma in the first half which caused Mourinho's men some headaches with an early Vlahovic free kick special. Nicky was impressed with Juve youngster Miretti and the center back pairing of Bremer and Danilo.

A win for Milan over Bologna with Leao off the mark and now 6 clubs jointly sit atop Serie A with 7 points apiece.

Salernitana had an eye-catching win, hammering Sampdoria at home. And what to make of Samp with only 1 point so far, looking ominous for a season of struggle ahead of them.

A crazy Paul Pogba saga.

And Samuel Umtiti joins Lecce on loan from Barcelona with emotional scenes at the airport as he was warmly greeted by the giallorossi fans.
