Might as well been in San siro, no sasullo fan in sight
Yeah this is great to see. I've really enjoyed watching this league this season. It almost had a Bundesliga like flow and intensity to a lot of the games. Looking forward to next season.Tweet

This is becoming extremely rare in Europe. To see three different winners in 3 seasons.
The PL numbers are insane. It is becoming impossible to win it with a tally under 90 points.Barca,Madrid and Atletico in 2019-2021. Glad to see the competitive edge back in Italy. Bundesliga and Ligue1 are monopolies, and currently the PL is a Two Horse race despite the much-touted Top6.
Sassuolo plays like this all year. It worked for them in Milano when they won at both Milan and Inter thanks to the high pressing.Hmm just seen the three Milan goals, literally all from Sassuolo giving the ball away within about twenty yards of their box with the rest of the team mysteriously so high up the pitch
They spent all year giving away goals like that and managed to survive? I don’t believe that..Sassuolo plays like this all year. It worked for them in Milano when they won at both Milan and Inter thanks to the high pressing.
There is much more interest in Serie A abroad if the games are open and the winners diverse. A trained eye can see through the lines and appreciate the facades, yet the masses will just enjoy the ride and subscribe the product (aha!).Hmm just seen the three Milan goals, literally all from Sassuolo giving the ball away within about twenty yards of their box with the rest of the team mysteriously so high up the pitch
Well they score many goals as well. The average goal/game in a Sassuolo game is around 3,5… Normally under 3 in all top leagues.They spent all year giving away goals like that and managed to survive? I don’t believe that..

Agree with this. It’s like the Leicester win in 2016 (ahead of Spurs and Arsenal), but then City, and others invested massively and got the title fight back to a top level. The difference in Italy is nobody can afford to run with it and the fight will stay at a Spurs-Arsenal level.Inter and Milan did not end the Juve dynasty, Juve kinda ended it themselves
@OptaPaoloGreat title win for Milan though, one of the youngest squads in the league, and lots of room for them to grow still.
Eh. Inter went above 90 points last seasonSadly I don't think this is a good look for Serie A
This Milan team is easily the weakest Scudetto winner in the past decade, it's a testament to the fact that this is the weakest Serie has been in a very long time.

The top 3 of 2016/17 finished the season with 86,87 and 91 points. That's higher than the champion this year. And the teams, not only Juve, but even both Roma (with Salah, Dzeko, Ninja, De Rossi...) and Sarri's Napoli were clearly stronger teams than the 2 Milan now.Eh. Inter went above 90 points last season
And honestly, i'm not sure the league was weaker this year than through most of the 10s...
Definitely weaker than 17/18, sure, or 19/20, but pretty much in line with the other seasons. Except for the lack of a great side winning it
That season was a weird one honestly. With relegation basically already decided by January, half the league was on holydays for half the season. Look at the goals scored, too. It's hard to judge the strenght of the league in a season that had nothing to do with anything that came before or after. Personally i also think those Roma and Napoli sides were not better than Milan or Inter. I think overall it might have been a bit stronger in the top 6-7 but massively weaker from like 8th position downThe top 3 of 2016/17 finished the season with 86,87 and 91 points.

neither Milan or Inter have the funds to get significally strongers this summer.I suspect Juventus, and Milan themselves both reinforce big time going in to next season.
Inter will likely take a bit of a step back as it’s looking like more sales are on the horizon & I actually see Roma with the right investment making a big push for CL football next season, with Napoli probably dropping a bit. Great title win for Milan though, one of the youngest squads in the league, and lots of room for them to grow still.
It's hard to assess the real strength of the leading teams in this spring neck to neck title race.Eh. Inter went above 90 points last season

Wow never knew he's such a good speaker.
if you say so....Wow never knew he's such a good speaker.
And in an another tongue beside his native one as well.
Is it bad?if you say so....
talking how good his italian is.
They only won it once in 2000s as much as as roma did.Once again,I'm truly glad to see Milan back on top; memories from the '00s; today I feel a bit younger.
Yeah, I probably remembered their 2003-2007 UCL runs, and the 2011 league title with Ibra.They only won it once in 2000s as much as as roma did.
Yeah, it never fails to amaze me how little they won in 2000s while having that team.Yeah, I probably remembered their 2003-2007 UCL runs, and the 2011 league title with Ibra.
Mate, the previous pages on this same topic show a number of my considerations about a number of… dodgy?… soft?… hard-driven?… circumstances and goals happened this year, the very same day they happened. That said, Milan was indecently pumped last year but Inter had Conte and won the league; Inter has been critically assisted this year at crunch time but Milan had Pioli + a number of “soft” games and won the league. All is good, all are happy, see you next year.Lads, come on
I mean that second goal, they actually give it away twice.
It's decent, not native speaker good but good enough. When you consider he's spent 9 seasons and a half in Italy, this is the least you'd expect. For example Lukaku's been here 2 years and speaks better italian than himIs it bad?
What a boss. He must have kept Pogba and others in check while he was here, soon as he went away the squad has no leadership.
