Venezia back in Serie B after 12 years. Great work from Tacopina and Inzaghi!
Parma at the moment 2nd, but they have a lot of teams that are still in race for second spot. Hopefully they will also go to Serie B in play-offs.
Their biggest issue right now is trying to find a suitable location for a new stadium. The one they have right now is downright atrocious. But much respect to Tacopina and Inzaghi. I read an article about the rejuvenation of Venenzia, and Tacopina really wants to turn it into a global brand. It makes sens if you think about it. Think about how many people visit Venice every year. It would only make sense to take home some gear from the local football club.

A week old article, but don't think it was posted

Lippi: ‘No-one knows Milan owners’

Marcello Lippi discusses Milan’s expected new owners - “no-one in China knows who these people are”.

The World Cup-winner is currently in charge of the Chinese national team, and with Yonghong Li expected to compete his takeover of the Rossoneri this week, the Coach was asked about the sale.

“We should once and for all end this saga about the sale of the club,” Lippi told SportItalia.

“No-one in China knows who these people are, while obviously the Suning Group which bought Inter is very well known.”

From FIF as well

"Glad for Juve, they deserve to be in the semis, as they showed in the last few years that they are not just a team that gets help from refs, but that this is a serious project. Compared to 2010 Inter, they didn't even concede against Barcelona, you know, the same team that came back against PSG not so long ago...

I know some of you would rather just hate Juve all the time but I hope Juve gets Real and they also beat Real convincingly. This is their year if they continue like this."
"What the fuck is wrong with you guys? This Juve is clearly a great team, cannot deny that. The only thing Juve lack is Pipita being in Milito-god-mode.

Nobody cannot take 2010 from us, but this year Juve will go down in history if they really win it. Gonna be some crazy semis and final, no matter the teams. Well, okay, I just do not want Atletico and Real in the final. "

Milan forum

Higuain gets a lot of flak but his hold up play was excellent, he brings a lot to the team even outside the box, keeping possession and spreading play. (Total opposite of Bacca who just falls over and whines.) Juve weren't even on their back foot for the whole game, it wasn't a backs-against-the-wall performance. They were barely in third gear.

Juve will win it this year. I won't lower myself to celebrate every time they score a goal, but they'll have deserved it after such a long time and I'll be happy for Buffon and Lippi's heir Allegri.

Armchair ultras on this forum who think the league's rep doesn't matter forget that Juve winning the CL also makes it easier for Milan to attract players. And hopefully a shift in priorities towards Europe will pause their ruthless cycle in Italy for a while.
Congrats allegri.. well done
As bad as Juve is, barca is another level. I think Allegri will avenge Carlo against Real in the final
At this point I'm probably better off just blowing my brains out
Juve just beat Barca 3-0 over 2 matches and the thought is that Higuan not scoring is a must to win the CL?

I don't buy it.


Juventus can win the CL this year without Higuan scoring.

Hell, they might be able to win without him playing another minute.
