Serie A Chronicles

Paulo Dybala starred for Roma with a hat-trick to win the match for Roma against Torino. With the team on a positive run since Daniele De Rossi’s takeover at the helm, could the giallorossi legend stay on next season as manager?

Rafa Leao scored a sublime early goal for Milan to keep Atalanta at bay in direct competition for a Champions League place. Could Pioli be on his way out at the end of season, and if so, then where to?

For Chronicles Tifosi Patrons only:

Juventus scraped a last-minute win over Frosinone at home with a Rugani strike and a performance to forget. Has the team been deflated by Inter’s unrelenting run of form which has seen them stretch ahead and out of reach of the bianconeri in the Scudetto run home?

Bologna is up to 5 wins in a row after yet another successful home win, this time against Verona. Thiago Motta's rossoblu now find themselves in 4th place.

Empoli now findfs itself 5 points clear of the drop zone after a last-gasp win at Sassuolo. Survival specialist Davide Nicola seems to have done his thing yet again after the Tuscan club has racked up 3 wins and 3 draws since he took over.

Is Inter on course to set a Serie A points record?

Fiorentina won in dominant manner against Lazio in what could have been a heavier scoreline, while Cagliari rescued yet another point after the 90th minute as Claudio Ranieri’s side fought for a draw against Napoli in Francesco Calzona’s first Serie A match in charge of the champions.

Stay tuned this week for a Chronicles Q&A episode as we deep dive on Thiago Motta and Bologna, whether Serie A should go to 18 teams... and more!

Inter is a whisker away from the Serie A title after going 7 points clear of Juventus with a tougher-than-expected win over Roma and the bianconeri's subsequent failure at home to Udinese.
