&lt;p&gt;Matchday 32 ends with a few changes in the table. While everything stayed the same at the very top, just below, Juventus overtook Bologna, with Tudor’s men moving into a Champions League spot after the Rossoblù’s defeat at the Gewiss Stadium. Atalanta got back to winning ways in front on their home support thanks to a fast start and Retegui’s refound decisiveness. Lazio and Roma drew in the Derby, just like Fiorentina at home to Parma while AC Milan secured a four goal win in Udine and added hope to their Europa League chase, which is still very open with seven teams separated by only ten points. Down the bottom, Venezia returned to winning ways against Monza and got themselves back into a fight for safety that is heating up: now Venezia, Empoli, Parma and Lecce have only four points between them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;d585335f-29f0-44c3-b509-1df10725df7f&#34; data-image-id=&#34;d585335f-29f0-44c3-b509-1df10725df7f&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/8fc698b9-71ff-431d-8222-589654714e22/UDI-MIL_sito.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;d585335f-29f0-44c3-b509-1df10725df7f&#34; data-image-id=&#34;d585335f-29f0-44c3-b509-1df10725df7f&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AC Milan &lt;/strong&gt;put an end to a streak of three games without a win in all competitions with a great performance in Udine, beating the home side &lt;strong&gt;4-0 &lt;/strong&gt;with two goals in each half. In the first half, &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/leao-show-at-bluenergy-stadium-146je3d413n9b3&#34; data-new-window=&#34;true&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Leão&lt;/strong&gt; broke the deadlock&lt;/a&gt; – it was the Portuguese forward’s seventh goal of the season, all of which came away from home, a personal record in a single season - and &lt;strong&gt;Pavlović &lt;/strong&gt;was again clinical from long range, assisted by Pulisic. &lt;strong&gt;Theo &lt;/strong&gt;then scored, before &lt;strong&gt;Reijnders &lt;/strong&gt;made it four, reaching double figures for the season and becoming only the second Dutch Rossonero to manage this feat since Van Basten. Fofana, on the other hand, registered his fifth assist of the season, his personal record in Europe’s top-five leagues. It is AC Milan’s third successive win against &lt;strong&gt;Udinese &lt;/strong&gt;in Serie A, a streak that they haven’t managed since Ancelotti. Udinese, on the other hand, extended their losing run to four games in a row.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;b656b5b2-7335-408b-93b4-064f8e4260e5&#34; data-image-id=&#34;b656b5b2-7335-408b-93b4-064f8e4260e5&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/b51deb24-2bb3-4b43-a93b-3ff67286c640/VEN-MON_sito.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;b656b5b2-7335-408b-93b4-064f8e4260e5&#34; data-image-id=&#34;b656b5b2-7335-408b-93b4-064f8e4260e5&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;After fourteen games without a win, &lt;strong&gt;Venezia &lt;/strong&gt;got the &lt;strong&gt;taste of victory &lt;/strong&gt;in the roughest way possible: 1-0 against &lt;strong&gt;Monza &lt;/strong&gt;in a nervy and fragmented match, in which the referee gave 40 fouls (a record for the season). &lt;strong&gt;Daniel Fila’s &lt;/strong&gt;first Serie A goal was decisive, before he was sent off, putting his side down to ten men. However, Di Francesco’s men held on and celebrated their fourth &lt;strong&gt;clean sheet &lt;/strong&gt;in their last six games. Ionut Radu also achieved something that a Venezia keeper hadn’t managed since 1999/2000: four home games in a row without conceding. Venezia now move up to 24 points, level with Empoli, putting themselves into a relegation battle that is more tense than ever.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;ec007dfa-c9f7-40eb-ae53-13f32c63e6c8&#34; data-image-id=&#34;ec007dfa-c9f7-40eb-ae53-13f32c63e6c8&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/e9a999f2-7284-4f62-b2c1-3be32941685e/INT-CAG_sito.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;ec007dfa-c9f7-40eb-ae53-13f32c63e6c8&#34; data-image-id=&#34;ec007dfa-c9f7-40eb-ae53-13f32c63e6c8&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;There were no mistakes from &lt;strong&gt;Inter &lt;/strong&gt;against Cagliari at &lt;strong&gt;San Siro&lt;/strong&gt;, and they kept their title charge going. The Nerazzurri continued their &lt;strong&gt;momentum &lt;/strong&gt;at home: since Inzgahi took over, no Italian side has won more home games (54), and in Europe’s top five leagues, they are level with Real Madrid and only behind Liverpool and Manchester City. &lt;strong&gt;Arnautović &lt;/strong&gt;opened the scoring and became the first Nerazzurro since Lautaro (April-September 2023) to score in four consecutive home games. The Austrian also secured an assist, getting two goal contributions in the same game for the first time in Serie A. After &lt;strong&gt;Lautaro &lt;/strong&gt;doubled the lead, &lt;strong&gt;Piccoli &lt;/strong&gt;made it interesting towards the start of the second half with his eighth goal of the season (as many as his last three combined). However, &lt;strong&gt;Bisseck &lt;/strong&gt;then sealed the deal with his decisive goal to make it 3-1. Inter have &lt;strong&gt;scored&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;at home&lt;/strong&gt; for 38 games in a row, second only to Lille in Europe (39). &lt;strong&gt;Cagliari&lt;/strong&gt; suffered their third defeat in four away games, and they continue to struggle away from home.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;20123223-e609-425f-af27-52aa0f792969&#34; data-image-id=&#34;20123223-e609-425f-af27-52aa0f792969&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/59aacf89-2241-41bb-88df-88219a62b7f4/JUV-LEC_sito.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;20123223-e609-425f-af27-52aa0f792969&#34; data-image-id=&#34;20123223-e609-425f-af27-52aa0f792969&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Saturday evening, &lt;strong&gt;Juventus &lt;/strong&gt;stayed consistent and relaunched their European ambitions in beating &lt;strong&gt;Lecce &lt;/strong&gt;2-1. The Bianconeri started fast: after just 97 seconds, &lt;strong&gt;Koopmeiners &lt;/strong&gt;made it 1-0, becoming the club’s fastest goalscorer this season. &lt;strong&gt;Yildiz &lt;/strong&gt;then made it two with his sixth goal of the season: of all players to have scored five goals or more in Europe`s top-five leagues, only Yamal and Diao are younger than Yildiz. Despite &lt;strong&gt;Baschirotto’s goal&lt;/strong&gt; - his fifth career goal in Serie A - Lecce now make it nine games without winning. Juve celebrated their &lt;strong&gt;200th win at the Allianz Stadium&lt;/strong&gt;, the first team to reach this milestone since the stadium’s inauguration in 2011 (Napoli are behind them on 168). It is a happy tradition that even continues today: from the start of 2025, no team has done better at home - six wins, just like Inter and Bologna.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;9b38a882-c7a6-4ac0-8d34-522d8ece448d&#34; data-image-id=&#34;9b38a882-c7a6-4ac0-8d34-522d8ece448d&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/4e0dbc42-20e8-474c-a746-13d97fa2720d/ATA-CAG_sito.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;9b38a882-c7a6-4ac0-8d34-522d8ece448d&#34; data-image-id=&#34;9b38a882-c7a6-4ac0-8d34-522d8ece448d&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Atalanta &lt;/strong&gt;put an end to a streak without wins that lasted for three games in beating Bologna 2-0 at the Gewiss Stadium, having a huge impact on the Champions League race. It was &lt;strong&gt;Mateo Retegui &lt;/strong&gt;who opened the scoring, with the ex-Genoa forward scoring La Dea’s &lt;strong&gt;fastest goal of the season&lt;/strong&gt;, beating Skorupski only two minutes and ten seconds into the game. Bellanova set up the goal with his seventh assist of the season, equalling his personal record. It is the Italo-Argentine’s 23rd goal of the season, now on 28 goal contributions for the season: only Salah, Kane and Marmoush have a better record in Europe’s top-five leagues. Just over two minutes later, &lt;strong&gt;Pašalić &lt;/strong&gt;doubled the lead with his third goal of the season, his first for around five months, set up by Retegui this time. La Dea were &lt;strong&gt;clinical&lt;/strong&gt; with only four shots, their lowest record so far this season. &lt;strong&gt;Bologna&lt;/strong&gt;, on the other hand, lost for the first time since the end of February, and slipped down from fourth place, for now. &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At 15:00 CEST, two goalless draws upped the tension down the bottom of the table.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;402d7fcf-b163-4d1e-add6-c8e2482f0821&#34; data-image-id=&#34;402d7fcf-b163-4d1e-add6-c8e2482f0821&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/c631b5c7-6799-401d-8d34-6baaa4a15413/VER-GEN_sito.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;402d7fcf-b163-4d1e-add6-c8e2482f0821&#34; data-image-id=&#34;402d7fcf-b163-4d1e-add6-c8e2482f0821&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;In Verona, neither &lt;strong&gt;Hellas &lt;/strong&gt;nor &lt;strong&gt;Genoa &lt;/strong&gt;could impose themselves, with a &lt;strong&gt;0-0 &lt;/strong&gt;draw that kept the Gialloblù’s good streak going, unbeaten in four games (one win and three draws). It is the first time this season, in fact, that Zanetti started the same team for three games in a row, a sign of new-found continuity. The Rossoblù, on the other hand, haven’t won away from home for eight games and they showed their solidity, but lack of clinicality: both squads got their sixth &lt;strong&gt;clean sheet &lt;/strong&gt;of 2025, only Roma and Atalanta have a better record (seven). It is a bit of a contradictory stat for Verona who, despite their recent clean sheets, have the worst defense in the league with 59 goals conceded.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;e196faf2-d9bf-4d93-9cb7-4521b3c4a829&#34; data-image-id=&#34;e196faf2-d9bf-4d93-9cb7-4521b3c4a829&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/a0158efb-690a-4867-af0a-dd4d875a28f7/FIO-PAR_sito.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;e196faf2-d9bf-4d93-9cb7-4521b3c4a829&#34; data-image-id=&#34;e196faf2-d9bf-4d93-9cb7-4521b3c4a829&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the &lt;strong&gt;Franchi&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Fiorentina &lt;/strong&gt;and Parma cancelled each other out for three games in a row in Florence in Serie A. La Viola kept a &lt;strong&gt;clean sheet &lt;/strong&gt;for the fourth home game in a row, but they couldn’t get themselves in front: they had no shots on goal in the first half, they have only done that two other times this season. &lt;strong&gt;Parma &lt;/strong&gt;drew their fifth game in a row - they haven’t done this since 2019 - but they struggled in the build-up: with only seven shots, it is the lowest they have managed in three games. The Gialloblù took a good point to remain clear of the drop zone, while La Viola didn’t manage to pass Roma in seventh place.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;77ed02ef-4dbf-45b0-92c1-803eadda70d4&#34; data-image-id=&#34;77ed02ef-4dbf-45b0-92c1-803eadda70d4&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/6e030608-63ab-481f-86a7-f38b4bfecc06/COM-TOR_sito.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;77ed02ef-4dbf-45b0-92c1-803eadda70d4&#34; data-image-id=&#34;77ed02ef-4dbf-45b0-92c1-803eadda70d4&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Como&lt;/strong&gt;, on the other hand, were certainly smiling, securing two wins in a row, beating &lt;strong&gt;Torino &lt;/strong&gt;1-0 at the Sinigaglia thanks to &lt;strong&gt;Douvikas&lt;/strong&gt;. The Greek scored his fourth goal at home this season in Europe’s top-five leagues, equalling his own personal record: two with Celta Vigo, and two with Como. &lt;strong&gt;Fàbregas’ &lt;/strong&gt;side&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;kept their opposition at bay with a solid defensive showing: it is their first home clean sheet of 2025. On the other hand, Torino lost their streak of six games in a row without conceding in the first half. Furthermore, they are having issues in attack: for the eighth time this season they finished the first half without a single shot on goal, only Genoa and Verona have worse records. Finally, they also struggle from crosses: it is the &lt;strong&gt;11th headed goal &lt;/strong&gt;they have conceded, only Monza have done worse this season (17).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;01e59716-bd45-488c-a1e3-e1b521cf77bc&#34; data-image-id=&#34;01e59716-bd45-488c-a1e3-e1b521cf77bc&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/8a12f78e-5fd6-4f8f-8a0a-c62b4aae7c17/LAZ-ROM_sito.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;01e59716-bd45-488c-a1e3-e1b521cf77bc&#34; data-image-id=&#34;01e59716-bd45-488c-a1e3-e1b521cf77bc&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Derby della Capitale&lt;/strong&gt; finished in parity, with &lt;strong&gt;Lazio &lt;/strong&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;Roma &lt;/strong&gt;sharing the points after an intense, nervy game that was full of chances. &lt;strong&gt;Romagnoli &lt;/strong&gt;opened the scoring in the first half with his second of the season (both at home), but in the second half &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/soule-s-goal-in-slow-motion-146ignef85k3d8&#34; data-new-window=&#34;true&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Matías Soulé’&lt;/strong&gt;s beauty&lt;/a&gt; made it level again: the Argentinian prodigy, almost 22 years of age, became the youngest Giallorosso goalscorer in a Serie A derby since Juan Iturbe. It is his fourth goal of the season, all came away from home. The Biancocelesti confirmed the &lt;strong&gt;scoring power of their defenders &lt;/strong&gt;(10 goals this season, second only to Inter on 21), while Roma proved their threat towards the end of games: 22 goals in the last 30 minutes of games, only Lazio (25) and AC Milan (24) have done better. &lt;strong&gt;Svilar &lt;/strong&gt;was key: the Serbian goalkeeper was making “impossible” saves, and, according to the Expected Goals on Target model, he prevented 2.5 goals, a personal record in Serie A. On the other hand, &lt;strong&gt;Mandas &lt;/strong&gt;stepped up and made a miraculous save from Mancini’s effort. As is tradition, the Derby was certainly &lt;strong&gt;competitive&lt;/strong&gt;: six bookings and high tension in a match that, since 1994/95, has the most yellow cards (372) and sending-offs (39) in Italy’s top league.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;54f6d557-e3d3-40e9-9e73-d5bbe2c66904&#34; data-image-id=&#34;54f6d557-e3d3-40e9-9e73-d5bbe2c66904&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/2453f14f-60ef-4224-82c2-5bfe6b986c75/Sito_HERO_nap.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;54f6d557-e3d3-40e9-9e73-d5bbe2c66904&#34; data-image-id=&#34;54f6d557-e3d3-40e9-9e73-d5bbe2c66904&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Review all the goals from Matchday 32, &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/every-goal-from-round-32-146jdkh1937h2a&#34; data-new-window=&#34;true&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;click here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo LaPresse)&lt;/p&gt;

Matchday 32 ends with a few changes in the table. While everything stayed the same at the very top, just below, Juventus overtook Bologna, with Tudor’s men moving into a Champions League spot after the Rossoblù’s defeat at the Gewiss Stadium. Atalanta got back to winning ways in front on their home support thanks to a fast start and Retegui’s refound decisiveness. Lazio and Roma drew in the Derby, just like Fiorentina at home to Parma while AC Milan secured a four goal win in Udine and added hope to their Europa League chase, which is still very open with seven teams separated by only ten points. Down the bottom, Venezia returned to winning ways against Monza and got themselves back into a fight for safety that is heating up: now Venezia, Empoli, Parma and Lecce have only four points between them.<figure data-asset-id="d585335f-29f0-44c3-b509-1df10725df7f" data-image-id="d585335f-29f0-44c3-b509-1df10725df7f"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/8fc698b9-71ff-431d-8222-589654714e22/UDI-MIL_sito.png" data-asset-id="d585335f-29f0-44c3-b509-1df10725df7f" data-image-id="d585335f-29f0-44c3-b509-1df10725df7f" alt=""></figure>AC Milan put an end to a streak of three games without a win in all competitions with a great performance in Udine, beating the home side 4-0 with two goals in each half. In the first half, <a href="https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/leao-show-at-bluenergy-stadium-146je3d413n9b3" data-new-window="true" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Leão broke the deadlock</a> – it was the Portuguese forward’s seventh goal of the season, all of which came away from home, a personal record in a single season - and Pavlović was again clinical from long range, assisted by Pulisic. Theo then scored, before Reijnders made it four, reaching double figures for the season and becoming only the second Dutch Rossonero to manage this feat since Van Basten. Fofana, on the other hand, registered his fifth assist of the season, his personal record in Europe’s top-five leagues. It is AC Milan’s third successive win against Udinese in Serie A, a streak that they haven’t managed since Ancelotti. Udinese, on the other hand, extended their losing run to four games in a row.<figure data-asset-id="b656b5b2-7335-408b-93b4-064f8e4260e5" data-image-id="b656b5b2-7335-408b-93b4-064f8e4260e5"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/b51deb24-2bb3-4b43-a93b-3ff67286c640/VEN-MON_sito.png" data-asset-id="b656b5b2-7335-408b-93b4-064f8e4260e5" data-image-id="b656b5b2-7335-408b-93b4-064f8e4260e5" alt=""></figure>After fourteen games without a win, Venezia got the taste of victory in the roughest way possible: 1-0 against Monza in a nervy and fragmented match, in which the referee gave 40 fouls (a record for the season). Daniel Fila’s first Serie A goal was decisive, before he was sent off, putting his side down to ten men. However, Di Francesco’s men held on and celebrated their fourth clean sheet in their last six games. Ionut Radu also achieved something that a Venezia keeper hadn’t managed since 1999/2000: four home games in a row without conceding. Venezia now move up to 24 points, level with Empoli, putting themselves into a relegation battle that is more tense than ever.<figure data-asset-id="ec007dfa-c9f7-40eb-ae53-13f32c63e6c8" data-image-id="ec007dfa-c9f7-40eb-ae53-13f32c63e6c8"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/e9a999f2-7284-4f62-b2c1-3be32941685e/INT-CAG_sito.png" data-asset-id="ec007dfa-c9f7-40eb-ae53-13f32c63e6c8" data-image-id="ec007dfa-c9f7-40eb-ae53-13f32c63e6c8" alt=""></figure>There were no mistakes from Inter against Cagliari at San Siro, and they kept their title charge going. The Nerazzurri continued their momentum at home: since Inzgahi took over, no Italian side has won more home games (54), and in Europe’s top five leagues, they are level with Real Madrid and only behind Liverpool and Manchester City. Arnautović opened the scoring and became the first Nerazzurro since Lautaro (April-September 2023) to score in four consecutive home games. The Austrian also secured an assist, getting two goal contributions in the same game for the first time in Serie A. After Lautaro doubled the lead, Piccoli made it interesting towards the start of the second half with his eighth goal of the season (as many as his last three combined). However, Bisseck then sealed the deal with his decisive goal to make it 3-1. Inter have scored at home for 38 games in a row, second only to Lille in Europe (39). Cagliari suffered their third defeat in four away games, and they continue to struggle away from home.&nbsp;<figure data-asset-id="20123223-e609-425f-af27-52aa0f792969" data-image-id="20123223-e609-425f-af27-52aa0f792969"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/59aacf89-2241-41bb-88df-88219a62b7f4/JUV-LEC_sito.png" data-asset-id="20123223-e609-425f-af27-52aa0f792969" data-image-id="20123223-e609-425f-af27-52aa0f792969" alt=""></figure>On Saturday evening, Juventus stayed consistent and relaunched their European ambitions in beating Lecce 2-1. The Bianconeri started fast: after just 97 seconds, Koopmeiners made it 1-0, becoming the club’s fastest goalscorer this season. Yildiz then made it two with his sixth goal of the season: of all players to have scored five goals or more in Europe`s top-five leagues, only Yamal and Diao are younger than Yildiz. Despite Baschirotto’s goal - his fifth career goal in Serie A - Lecce now make it nine games without winning. Juve celebrated their 200th win at the Allianz Stadium, the first team to reach this milestone since the stadium’s inauguration in 2011 (Napoli are behind them on 168). It is a happy tradition that even continues today: from the start of 2025, no team has done better at home - six wins, just like Inter and Bologna.<figure data-asset-id="9b38a882-c7a6-4ac0-8d34-522d8ece448d" data-image-id="9b38a882-c7a6-4ac0-8d34-522d8ece448d"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/4e0dbc42-20e8-474c-a746-13d97fa2720d/ATA-CAG_sito.png" data-asset-id="9b38a882-c7a6-4ac0-8d34-522d8ece448d" data-image-id="9b38a882-c7a6-4ac0-8d34-522d8ece448d" alt=""></figure>Atalanta put an end to a streak without wins that lasted for three games in beating Bologna 2-0 at the Gewiss Stadium, having a huge impact on the Champions League race. It was Mateo Retegui who opened the scoring, with the ex-Genoa forward scoring La Dea’s fastest goal of the season, beating Skorupski only two minutes and ten seconds into the game. Bellanova set up the goal with his seventh assist of the season, equalling his personal record. It is the Italo-Argentine’s 23rd goal of the season, now on 28 goal contributions for the season: only Salah, Kane and Marmoush have a better record in Europe’s top-five leagues. Just over two minutes later, Pašalić doubled the lead with his third goal of the season, his first for around five months, set up by Retegui this time. La Dea were clinical with only four shots, their lowest record so far this season. Bologna, on the other hand, lost for the first time since the end of February, and slipped down from fourth place, for now. &nbsp;At 15:00 CEST, two goalless draws upped the tension down the bottom of the table.<figure data-asset-id="402d7fcf-b163-4d1e-add6-c8e2482f0821" data-image-id="402d7fcf-b163-4d1e-add6-c8e2482f0821"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/c631b5c7-6799-401d-8d34-6baaa4a15413/VER-GEN_sito.png" data-asset-id="402d7fcf-b163-4d1e-add6-c8e2482f0821" data-image-id="402d7fcf-b163-4d1e-add6-c8e2482f0821" alt=""></figure>In Verona, neither Hellas nor Genoa could impose themselves, with a 0-0 draw that kept the Gialloblù’s good streak going, unbeaten in four games (one win and three draws). It is the first time this season, in fact, that Zanetti started the same team for three games in a row, a sign of new-found continuity. The Rossoblù, on the other hand, haven’t won away from home for eight games and they showed their solidity, but lack of clinicality: both squads got their sixth clean sheet of 2025, only Roma and Atalanta have a better record (seven). It is a bit of a contradictory stat for Verona who, despite their recent clean sheets, have the worst defense in the league with 59 goals conceded.<figure data-asset-id="e196faf2-d9bf-4d93-9cb7-4521b3c4a829" data-image-id="e196faf2-d9bf-4d93-9cb7-4521b3c4a829"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/a0158efb-690a-4867-af0a-dd4d875a28f7/FIO-PAR_sito.png" data-asset-id="e196faf2-d9bf-4d93-9cb7-4521b3c4a829" data-image-id="e196faf2-d9bf-4d93-9cb7-4521b3c4a829" alt=""></figure>At the Franchi, Fiorentina and Parma cancelled each other out for three games in a row in Florence in Serie A. La Viola kept a clean sheet for the fourth home game in a row, but they couldn’t get themselves in front: they had no shots on goal in the first half, they have only done that two other times this season. Parma drew their fifth game in a row - they haven’t done this since 2019 - but they struggled in the build-up: with only seven shots, it is the lowest they have managed in three games. The Gialloblù took a good point to remain clear of the drop zone, while La Viola didn’t manage to pass Roma in seventh place.<figure data-asset-id="77ed02ef-4dbf-45b0-92c1-803eadda70d4" data-image-id="77ed02ef-4dbf-45b0-92c1-803eadda70d4"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/6e030608-63ab-481f-86a7-f38b4bfecc06/COM-TOR_sito.png" data-asset-id="77ed02ef-4dbf-45b0-92c1-803eadda70d4" data-image-id="77ed02ef-4dbf-45b0-92c1-803eadda70d4" alt=""></figure>Como, on the other hand, were certainly smiling, securing two wins in a row, beating Torino 1-0 at the Sinigaglia thanks to Douvikas. The Greek scored his fourth goal at home this season in Europe’s top-five leagues, equalling his own personal record: two with Celta Vigo, and two with Como. Fàbregas’ side kept their opposition at bay with a solid defensive showing: it is their first home clean sheet of 2025. On the other hand, Torino lost their streak of six games in a row without conceding in the first half. Furthermore, they are having issues in attack: for the eighth time this season they finished the first half without a single shot on goal, only Genoa and Verona have worse records. Finally, they also struggle from crosses: it is the 11th headed goal they have conceded, only Monza have done worse this season (17).<figure data-asset-id="01e59716-bd45-488c-a1e3-e1b521cf77bc" data-image-id="01e59716-bd45-488c-a1e3-e1b521cf77bc"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/8a12f78e-5fd6-4f8f-8a0a-c62b4aae7c17/LAZ-ROM_sito.png" data-asset-id="01e59716-bd45-488c-a1e3-e1b521cf77bc" data-image-id="01e59716-bd45-488c-a1e3-e1b521cf77bc" alt=""></figure>The Derby della Capitale finished in parity, with Lazio and Roma sharing the points after an intense, nervy game that was full of chances. Romagnoli opened the scoring in the first half with his second of the season (both at home), but in the second half <a href="https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/soule-s-goal-in-slow-motion-146ignef85k3d8" data-new-window="true" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Matías Soulé’s beauty</a> made it level again: the Argentinian prodigy, almost 22 years of age, became the youngest Giallorosso goalscorer in a Serie A derby since Juan Iturbe. It is his fourth goal of the season, all came away from home. The Biancocelesti confirmed the scoring power of their defenders (10 goals this season, second only to Inter on 21), while Roma proved their threat towards the end of games: 22 goals in the last 30 minutes of games, only Lazio (25) and AC Milan (24) have done better. Svilar was key: the Serbian goalkeeper was making “impossible” saves, and, according to the Expected Goals on Target model, he prevented 2.5 goals, a personal record in Serie A. On the other hand, Mandas stepped up and made a miraculous save from Mancini’s effort. As is tradition, the Derby was certainly competitive: six bookings and high tension in a match that, since 1994/95, has the most yellow cards (372) and sending-offs (39) in Italy’s top league.<figure data-asset-id="54f6d557-e3d3-40e9-9e73-d5bbe2c66904" data-image-id="54f6d557-e3d3-40e9-9e73-d5bbe2c66904"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/2453f14f-60ef-4224-82c2-5bfe6b986c75/Sito_HERO_nap.png" data-asset-id="54f6d557-e3d3-40e9-9e73-d5bbe2c66904" data-image-id="54f6d557-e3d3-40e9-9e73-d5bbe2c66904" alt=""></figure>Review all the goals from Matchday 32, <a href="https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/every-goal-from-round-32-146jdkh1937h2a" data-new-window="true" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">click here</a>.&nbsp;(Photo LaPresse)
