Milan made a precarious visit to Verona needing to win to take back top spot after Inter's comeback win over Empoli saw them temporarily retake first place in a Serie A race that keeps getting hotter by the minute, and it was loyal club man Sandro Tonali who popped up with two goals to gift the rossoneri an important win on his birthday.
It was a fairytale that only Serie A can write. Genoa captain Mimmo Criscito provided more calcio romanticism this week, after last week's heart-wrenching last minute penalty miss in the Genovese Derby. This time he wrote his own redemption story by scoring a winning penalty against Juventus at the same time of his spot kick in the previous match, on the same penalty spot, in front of the same Genoa curva, turning his derby tears into ones of celebration for the home side.
Mina asks if there is any point to Pavel Nedved at Juventus and if Dusan Vlahovic is putting too much pressure on himself.
Nicky and Mina go deep into the unfolding relegation battle which is giving us even more drama than the front-runners, if that is even possible.
We discuss what it means for Roma to reach the UEFA Europa Conference League Final, and why it should be viewed as a big deal rather than an unimportant tournament.
And we preview the mid-week Coppa Italia Final between Juventus and Inter, and wonder for which club and manager the trophy is more important (and should Max Allegri lose his job if he loses a second final to Inter this season after the Supercoppa loss?).
Serie A... you just can't take your eyes off it!!!
