&lt;p&gt;The top of the Serie A table remains the same at the end of the matchday with 19 goals and full of incredible moments to remember. The main title contenders couldn’t make the most of their matches this week. Napoli lost out in the final minutes once again at the Olimpico, this time against Lazio and they have now drawn their last three matches. Inter lost to Juventus in the Derby d’Italia and the gap at the top has now increased to two points. Atalanta failed to break their winless streak, drawing to Cagliari and missing out on closing in on the top of the table. Amongst the sides competing for Europe, Bologna won three golden points against Torino, AC Milan got back to winning ways thanks to Giménez’s goal and Roma won at the Tardini thanks to a bit of magic from Soulé. In the bottom half of the table, Como and Genoa won, taking crucial steps towards safety.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Serie A’s first match was full of excitement in the thrashing rain at the Dall’Ara. &lt;strong&gt;Bologna &lt;/strong&gt;started strong with a season record of 11 shots on goal in the first half, one of which was finished off by Dan Ndoye. &lt;strong&gt;Torino &lt;/strong&gt;took the lead, first through &lt;strong&gt;Nikola Vlaṥić’s &lt;/strong&gt;third goal of the season, and then &lt;strong&gt;Elmas’&lt;/strong&gt; cheeky chip. &lt;strong&gt;Ndoye &lt;/strong&gt;then scored a second, - the last non-Italian player to score multiple goals in one game for the rossoblù in Serie A was Arnautović in 2021/22. Biraghi’s own-goal in the 90th minute restored Bologna’s lead while the Toro`s unbeaten record in the new year came to an end.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;2bcd1cc4-26df-4832-8555-ef9dbf183013&#34; data-image-id=&#34;2bcd1cc4-26df-4832-8555-ef9dbf183013&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/ea724df1-7d95-4638-9d02-566e29d3cbdc/Sito_HERO_bol.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;2bcd1cc4-26df-4832-8555-ef9dbf183013&#34; data-image-id=&#34;2bcd1cc4-26df-4832-8555-ef9dbf183013&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Atalanta &lt;/strong&gt;began the big weekend with a &lt;strong&gt;goalless draw &lt;/strong&gt;at the &lt;strong&gt;Gewiss Stadium&lt;/strong&gt;, going winless for the fourth game in a row. The Nerazzurri struggled to get past &lt;strong&gt;Cagliari&lt;/strong&gt;, so much so that in the first half there was a &lt;strong&gt;season low of shots on goal &lt;/strong&gt;in a single half with only three, all coming from the home team. The Sardinians kept a clean sheet, continuing their good streak with only two losses in their last six games. The Dea can console themselves with the new milestone reached by their manager, Gian Piero &lt;strong&gt;Gasperini&lt;/strong&gt;, who has now won &lt;strong&gt;600 points&lt;/strong&gt; throughout his time at the club, becoming the second ever coach to reach this tally with a single team, alongside Massimiliano Allegri at Juventus (663).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;b2d165d1-5c50-49b8-8006-39e7904c958b&#34; data-image-id=&#34;b2d165d1-5c50-49b8-8006-39e7904c958b&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/8d2ea82c-3d43-425a-b832-3edd153ac1ca/Sito_HERO_ata.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;b2d165d1-5c50-49b8-8006-39e7904c958b&#34; data-image-id=&#34;b2d165d1-5c50-49b8-8006-39e7904c958b&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;There were many twists and turns in the &lt;strong&gt;big match &lt;/strong&gt;at the Olimpico. &lt;strong&gt;Isaksen &lt;/strong&gt;scored again against Napoli with an &lt;strong&gt;early strike &lt;/strong&gt;in the sixth minute, the earliest goal conceded by the Azzurri this season. Shortly after, &lt;strong&gt;Raspadori &lt;/strong&gt;equalised in the 13th minute, assisted by Lukaku who has now got 7 assists for the season &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/en/serie-a/statistiche&#34; data-new-window=&#34;true&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&gt;(the only player with more is Nuno Tavares on 8)&lt;/a&gt;. After the break, Marušić’s own goal pegged the leaders back before Dia equalised, set up by &lt;strong&gt;Zaccagni &lt;/strong&gt;who has the most assists for a midfielder in the league this season alongside Christian Pulisic (six). &lt;strong&gt;Napoli &lt;/strong&gt;have now drawn three matches in a row for the first time since December 2014, while &lt;strong&gt;Lazio &lt;/strong&gt;have drawn three of their last five home outings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;5463e828-6cba-4287-9ff3-ce0ef539a793&#34; data-image-id=&#34;5463e828-6cba-4287-9ff3-ce0ef539a793&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/ab396095-332d-4e77-b469-ae8e0dbfc786/Sito_HERO_laz_gal.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;5463e828-6cba-4287-9ff3-ce0ef539a793&#34; data-image-id=&#34;5463e828-6cba-4287-9ff3-ce0ef539a793&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AC Milan &lt;/strong&gt;beat Hellas Verona on Saturday afternoon thanks to &lt;strong&gt;Santiago Giménez’s goal. &lt;/strong&gt;Following his goal on his debut, the Mexican has scored again, becoming the third player to score in his first two Serie A appearances in an AC Milan shirt in the three-point era alongside Andriy Shevchenko in 1999 and Christian Pulisic in 2023. The goal started with &lt;strong&gt;Alex Jiménez’s &lt;/strong&gt;clever chip into Rafeal &lt;strong&gt;Leão’s&lt;/strong&gt; path who then claimed an assist with a clever flick to the unmarked &lt;strong&gt;Giménez&lt;/strong&gt;. The Rossoneri have managed to win two games in a row without conceding for the first time this season, cementing themselves as record holders in terms of &lt;strong&gt;home clean sheets&lt;/strong&gt; with seven achieved so far. &lt;strong&gt;Hellas Verona &lt;/strong&gt;suffered their second consecutive loss, taking their defeat count up to 16 this season, the highest of any time in the league.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;a3b0c203-fc27-40a4-be43-aedf425544a4&#34; data-image-id=&#34;a3b0c203-fc27-40a4-be43-aedf425544a4&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/742d144e-9fe5-4a6b-8fa1-5c5056df1264/Sito_HERO_mil.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;a3b0c203-fc27-40a4-be43-aedf425544a4&#34; data-image-id=&#34;a3b0c203-fc27-40a4-be43-aedf425544a4&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Sunday, Serie A began with a &lt;strong&gt;huge win for Como&lt;/strong&gt;, who broke a five-month long winless spell away from home, at the Franchi. The Lariani put on a show and defeated the Viola thanks to goals from &lt;strong&gt;Diao &lt;/strong&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;Paz&lt;/strong&gt;, taking home crucial points for the first time since their win against Atalanta. 19-year-old &lt;strong&gt;Assane Diao &lt;/strong&gt;has been taking the league by storm: he is the youngest player to score at least &lt;strong&gt;four goals&lt;/strong&gt; this season, and he has managed this in only seven appearances. &lt;strong&gt;Nico Paz &lt;/strong&gt;was also excellent, who - alongside Cutrone - becomes the Biancoblu with the most goal involvements this season (nine - six goals and three assists). On this great day for Fabregas’ side, the former Lyon player &lt;strong&gt;Caqueret &lt;/strong&gt;also&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;stood out and he now has two assists in five appearances. &lt;strong&gt;Fiorentina &lt;/strong&gt;had a bad day, with their lowest number of attempted shots in 90 minutes (three), and continuing their poor record in the new year, losing four of their eight games in 2025 compared to three in 17 before the turn of the year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;27b95d56-257b-4e39-ac42-300c164d761c&#34; data-image-id=&#34;27b95d56-257b-4e39-ac42-300c164d761c&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/b9e96f7b-3ae8-4ad6-b7ec-1e1b742a9236/HL.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;27b95d56-257b-4e39-ac42-300c164d761c&#34; data-image-id=&#34;27b95d56-257b-4e39-ac42-300c164d761c&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Monza &lt;/strong&gt;put an end to their run of defeats with a goalless draw against &lt;strong&gt;Lecce &lt;/strong&gt;at the U-Power Stadium, keeping a &lt;strong&gt;clean sheet &lt;/strong&gt;in a home game for the first time, largely thanks to &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/en/serie-a/player-of-the-match&#34;&gt;Panini Player of the Match&lt;/a&gt; Stefano Turati`s fantastic performance. The Brianzoli managed to draw at home for the first time since November while Giampaolo’s Santini registered their second consecutive 0-0 draw, becoming one of only two teams, alongside Juventus, to have finished&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;four games in goalless draws&lt;/strong&gt; this season. Keita Baldé made his debut for the Biancorossi, making his first Serie A appearance since May 2022. &lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;b96aae10-0605-45b8-8629-27f82cb9aede&#34; data-image-id=&#34;b96aae10-0605-45b8-8629-27f82cb9aede&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/71d87e56-193e-4b27-8383-731d6e92f643/HL.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;b96aae10-0605-45b8-8629-27f82cb9aede&#34; data-image-id=&#34;b96aae10-0605-45b8-8629-27f82cb9aede&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;It was a convincing win for &lt;strong&gt;Udinese&lt;/strong&gt; who scored three at the &lt;strong&gt;Bluenergy Stadium&lt;/strong&gt;, led by Jurgen &lt;strong&gt;Ekkelenkamp&lt;/strong&gt;. The Dutchman, on target for the second game in a row, managed a &lt;strong&gt;historic brace&lt;/strong&gt;: the last midfielder to score more than once in a game for the Friuliani was Rodrigo De Paul against Crotone in April 2021. Florian &lt;strong&gt;Thauvin &lt;/strong&gt;scored the third, his sixth of the season, a record for the Frenchman for the Bianconeri. Udinese registered two consecutive home wins for the first time since October while &lt;strong&gt;Empoli &lt;/strong&gt;couldn’t score for the second game running for the first time this season, capping off their third loss in a row.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;b669472d-83c4-476a-ba7d-6e6b8fda3c51&#34; data-image-id=&#34;b669472d-83c4-476a-ba7d-6e6b8fda3c51&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/0f6fbbd7-85b0-4683-8a33-2634a015cd60/HL.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;b669472d-83c4-476a-ba7d-6e6b8fda3c51&#34; data-image-id=&#34;b669472d-83c4-476a-ba7d-6e6b8fda3c51&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Roma’s &lt;/strong&gt;turn of form away from home continued at the Tardini. The Giallorossi beat Parma thanks to &lt;strong&gt;Soulé’s magnificent free-kick&lt;/strong&gt;, his second direct set-piece goal since joining Serie A. Ranieri’s side have now won their last three away games after not winning at all in any of their fixtures on the road. &lt;strong&gt;Possession &lt;/strong&gt;was key to Roma’s success, racking up the second-highest figure for possession all season (72%), and they also kept &lt;strong&gt;consecutive clean sheets&lt;/strong&gt; for the first time this campaign. The home side have now lost four games in a row, heavily disadvantaged after &lt;strong&gt;Leoni’s red card&lt;/strong&gt;, who, at 18 years and 57 days old, became the youngest Italian player to be sent off in the three-point era.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;bfbb7301-1314-430c-b959-60d505df7956&#34; data-image-id=&#34;bfbb7301-1314-430c-b959-60d505df7956&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/a4e1bc2a-285c-4c96-ab0b-bd7d61ed352f/HL.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;bfbb7301-1314-430c-b959-60d505df7956&#34; data-image-id=&#34;bfbb7301-1314-430c-b959-60d505df7956&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Juventus &lt;/strong&gt;crushed Inter’s dreams of climbing to the top of the table and beat the former champions thanks to &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/conceicao-s-goal-in-slow-motion-144hnfb8443dkd&#34; data-new-window=&#34;true&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chico Conceição’s goal&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; He is the youngest attacker in the league with three goals and assists after Castro. He was set up by &lt;strong&gt;Kolo Muani’s &lt;/strong&gt;clever flick, keeping up his record of getting a goal involvement in every game since joining the &lt;strong&gt;Bianconeri&lt;/strong&gt; (five goals and one assist). &lt;strong&gt;Motta’s &lt;/strong&gt;side have won &lt;strong&gt;three consecutive games &lt;/strong&gt;for the first time in this Serie A season while &lt;strong&gt;Inter &lt;/strong&gt;lose their second away game in a row. The average age of both teams is very interesting: the Nerazzurri put out the oldest ever squad in a match against Juventus in the three-point era (30 years and 306 days) while the Bianconeri played their youngest ever side in the derby d’Italia (25 years and 8 days).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;0821f347-4eca-42cd-9c26-7c646e7010e8&#34; data-image-id=&#34;0821f347-4eca-42cd-9c26-7c646e7010e8&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/ee424630-9c4f-472f-82d0-6c38fc24236d/HL.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;0821f347-4eca-42cd-9c26-7c646e7010e8&#34; data-image-id=&#34;0821f347-4eca-42cd-9c26-7c646e7010e8&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Genoa &lt;/strong&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;Venezia’s &lt;/strong&gt;clash closed Serie A Enlive matchday 25. The homeside managed their &lt;strong&gt;third consecutive victory&lt;/strong&gt; without conceding any goals - after their wins against Parma (1-0) and Monza (2-0) - for the first time since January/February 2010 with Gasperini between the sticks. Goalkeepers Leali and Radu were key in this match, making great saves throughout but &lt;strong&gt;Pinamonti &lt;/strong&gt;eventually broke the deadlock with an exquisite finish in the 82nd minute. Shortly after, Vieira’s men doubled their lead thanks to &lt;strong&gt;Cornet&lt;/strong&gt;, who found the top corner with a tidy strike. The Lagunari have conceded for the &lt;strong&gt;20th game running &lt;/strong&gt;and they haven’t won away this season, leaving them now five points from safety. The Grifone, on the other hand, have risen to 11th in the table.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;f9f2e9bd-ce22-4071-af7a-3e0bcb6f781c&#34; data-image-id=&#34;f9f2e9bd-ce22-4071-af7a-3e0bcb6f781c&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/02bd9708-7f5e-4c59-8099-f002381386ed/Sito_HERO_Genoa.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;f9f2e9bd-ce22-4071-af7a-3e0bcb6f781c&#34; data-image-id=&#34;f9f2e9bd-ce22-4071-af7a-3e0bcb6f781c&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Every goal from round 25, &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/every-goal-from-round-25-144ikk98662j16&#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;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo LaPresse)&lt;/p&gt;

The top of the Serie A table remains the same at the end of the matchday with 19 goals and full of incredible moments to remember. The main title contenders couldn’t make the most of their matches this week. Napoli lost out in the final minutes once again at the Olimpico, this time against Lazio and they have now drawn their last three matches. Inter lost to Juventus in the Derby d’Italia and the gap at the top has now increased to two points. Atalanta failed to break their winless streak, drawing to Cagliari and missing out on closing in on the top of the table. Amongst the sides competing for Europe, Bologna won three golden points against Torino, AC Milan got back to winning ways thanks to Giménez’s goal and Roma won at the Tardini thanks to a bit of magic from Soulé. In the bottom half of the table, Como and Genoa won, taking crucial steps towards safety.Serie A’s first match was full of excitement in the thrashing rain at the Dall’Ara. Bologna started strong with a season record of 11 shots on goal in the first half, one of which was finished off by Dan Ndoye. Torino took the lead, first through Nikola Vlaṥić’s third goal of the season, and then Elmas’ cheeky chip. Ndoye then scored a second, - the last non-Italian player to score multiple goals in one game for the rossoblù in Serie A was Arnautović in 2021/22. Biraghi’s own-goal in the 90th minute restored Bologna’s lead while the Toro`s unbeaten record in the new year came to an end.<figure data-asset-id="2bcd1cc4-26df-4832-8555-ef9dbf183013" data-image-id="2bcd1cc4-26df-4832-8555-ef9dbf183013"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/ea724df1-7d95-4638-9d02-566e29d3cbdc/Sito_HERO_bol.png" data-asset-id="2bcd1cc4-26df-4832-8555-ef9dbf183013" data-image-id="2bcd1cc4-26df-4832-8555-ef9dbf183013" alt=""></figure>Atalanta began the big weekend with a goalless draw at the Gewiss Stadium, going winless for the fourth game in a row. The Nerazzurri struggled to get past Cagliari, so much so that in the first half there was a season low of shots on goal in a single half with only three, all coming from the home team. The Sardinians kept a clean sheet, continuing their good streak with only two losses in their last six games. The Dea can console themselves with the new milestone reached by their manager, Gian Piero Gasperini, who has now won 600 points throughout his time at the club, becoming the second ever coach to reach this tally with a single team, alongside Massimiliano Allegri at Juventus (663).<figure data-asset-id="b2d165d1-5c50-49b8-8006-39e7904c958b" data-image-id="b2d165d1-5c50-49b8-8006-39e7904c958b"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/8d2ea82c-3d43-425a-b832-3edd153ac1ca/Sito_HERO_ata.png" data-asset-id="b2d165d1-5c50-49b8-8006-39e7904c958b" data-image-id="b2d165d1-5c50-49b8-8006-39e7904c958b" alt=""></figure>There were many twists and turns in the big match at the Olimpico. Isaksen scored again against Napoli with an early strike in the sixth minute, the earliest goal conceded by the Azzurri this season. Shortly after, Raspadori equalised in the 13th minute, assisted by Lukaku who has now got 7 assists for the season <a href="https://www.legaseriea.it/en/serie-a/statistiche" data-new-window="true" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">(the only player with more is Nuno Tavares on 8)</a>. After the break, Marušić’s own goal pegged the leaders back before Dia equalised, set up by Zaccagni who has the most assists for a midfielder in the league this season alongside Christian Pulisic (six). Napoli have now drawn three matches in a row for the first time since December 2014, while Lazio have drawn three of their last five home outings.<figure data-asset-id="5463e828-6cba-4287-9ff3-ce0ef539a793" data-image-id="5463e828-6cba-4287-9ff3-ce0ef539a793"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/ab396095-332d-4e77-b469-ae8e0dbfc786/Sito_HERO_laz_gal.png" data-asset-id="5463e828-6cba-4287-9ff3-ce0ef539a793" data-image-id="5463e828-6cba-4287-9ff3-ce0ef539a793" alt=""></figure>AC Milan beat Hellas Verona on Saturday afternoon thanks to Santiago Giménez’s goal. Following his goal on his debut, the Mexican has scored again, becoming the third player to score in his first two Serie A appearances in an AC Milan shirt in the three-point era alongside Andriy Shevchenko in 1999 and Christian Pulisic in 2023. The goal started with Alex Jiménez’s clever chip into Rafeal Leão’s path who then claimed an assist with a clever flick to the unmarked Giménez. The Rossoneri have managed to win two games in a row without conceding for the first time this season, cementing themselves as record holders in terms of home clean sheets with seven achieved so far. Hellas Verona suffered their second consecutive loss, taking their defeat count up to 16 this season, the highest of any time in the league.<figure data-asset-id="a3b0c203-fc27-40a4-be43-aedf425544a4" data-image-id="a3b0c203-fc27-40a4-be43-aedf425544a4"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/742d144e-9fe5-4a6b-8fa1-5c5056df1264/Sito_HERO_mil.png" data-asset-id="a3b0c203-fc27-40a4-be43-aedf425544a4" data-image-id="a3b0c203-fc27-40a4-be43-aedf425544a4" alt=""></figure>On Sunday, Serie A began with a huge win for Como, who broke a five-month long winless spell away from home, at the Franchi. The Lariani put on a show and defeated the Viola thanks to goals from Diao and Paz, taking home crucial points for the first time since their win against Atalanta. 19-year-old Assane Diao has been taking the league by storm: he is the youngest player to score at least four goals this season, and he has managed this in only seven appearances. Nico Paz was also excellent, who - alongside Cutrone - becomes the Biancoblu with the most goal involvements this season (nine - six goals and three assists). On this great day for Fabregas’ side, the former Lyon player Caqueret also stood out and he now has two assists in five appearances. Fiorentina had a bad day, with their lowest number of attempted shots in 90 minutes (three), and continuing their poor record in the new year, losing four of their eight games in 2025 compared to three in 17 before the turn of the year.<figure data-asset-id="27b95d56-257b-4e39-ac42-300c164d761c" data-image-id="27b95d56-257b-4e39-ac42-300c164d761c"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/b9e96f7b-3ae8-4ad6-b7ec-1e1b742a9236/HL.png" data-asset-id="27b95d56-257b-4e39-ac42-300c164d761c" data-image-id="27b95d56-257b-4e39-ac42-300c164d761c" alt=""></figure>Monza put an end to their run of defeats with a goalless draw against Lecce at the U-Power Stadium, keeping a clean sheet in a home game for the first time, largely thanks to <a href="https://www.legaseriea.it/en/serie-a/player-of-the-match">Panini Player of the Match</a> Stefano Turati`s fantastic performance. The Brianzoli managed to draw at home for the first time since November while Giampaolo’s Santini registered their second consecutive 0-0 draw, becoming one of only two teams, alongside Juventus, to have finished&nbsp; four games in goalless draws this season. Keita Baldé made his debut for the Biancorossi, making his first Serie A appearance since May 2022. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<figure data-asset-id="b96aae10-0605-45b8-8629-27f82cb9aede" data-image-id="b96aae10-0605-45b8-8629-27f82cb9aede"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/71d87e56-193e-4b27-8383-731d6e92f643/HL.png" data-asset-id="b96aae10-0605-45b8-8629-27f82cb9aede" data-image-id="b96aae10-0605-45b8-8629-27f82cb9aede" alt=""></figure>It was a convincing win for Udinese who scored three at the Bluenergy Stadium, led by Jurgen Ekkelenkamp. The Dutchman, on target for the second game in a row, managed a historic brace: the last midfielder to score more than once in a game for the Friuliani was Rodrigo De Paul against Crotone in April 2021. Florian Thauvin scored the third, his sixth of the season, a record for the Frenchman for the Bianconeri. Udinese registered two consecutive home wins for the first time since October while Empoli couldn’t score for the second game running for the first time this season, capping off their third loss in a row.<figure data-asset-id="b669472d-83c4-476a-ba7d-6e6b8fda3c51" data-image-id="b669472d-83c4-476a-ba7d-6e6b8fda3c51"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/0f6fbbd7-85b0-4683-8a33-2634a015cd60/HL.png" data-asset-id="b669472d-83c4-476a-ba7d-6e6b8fda3c51" data-image-id="b669472d-83c4-476a-ba7d-6e6b8fda3c51" alt=""></figure>Roma’s turn of form away from home continued at the Tardini. The Giallorossi beat Parma thanks to Soulé’s magnificent free-kick, his second direct set-piece goal since joining Serie A. Ranieri’s side have now won their last three away games after not winning at all in any of their fixtures on the road. Possession was key to Roma’s success, racking up the second-highest figure for possession all season (72%), and they also kept consecutive clean sheets for the first time this campaign. The home side have now lost four games in a row, heavily disadvantaged after Leoni’s red card, who, at 18 years and 57 days old, became the youngest Italian player to be sent off in the three-point era.<figure data-asset-id="bfbb7301-1314-430c-b959-60d505df7956" data-image-id="bfbb7301-1314-430c-b959-60d505df7956"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/a4e1bc2a-285c-4c96-ab0b-bd7d61ed352f/HL.png" data-asset-id="bfbb7301-1314-430c-b959-60d505df7956" data-image-id="bfbb7301-1314-430c-b959-60d505df7956" alt=""></figure>Juventus crushed Inter’s dreams of climbing to the top of the table and beat the former champions thanks to <a href="https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/conceicao-s-goal-in-slow-motion-144hnfb8443dkd" data-new-window="true" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Chico Conceição’s goal</a> He is the youngest attacker in the league with three goals and assists after Castro. He was set up by Kolo Muani’s clever flick, keeping up his record of getting a goal involvement in every game since joining the Bianconeri (five goals and one assist). Motta’s side have won three consecutive games for the first time in this Serie A season while Inter lose their second away game in a row. The average age of both teams is very interesting: the Nerazzurri put out the oldest ever squad in a match against Juventus in the three-point era (30 years and 306 days) while the Bianconeri played their youngest ever side in the derby d’Italia (25 years and 8 days).<figure data-asset-id="0821f347-4eca-42cd-9c26-7c646e7010e8" data-image-id="0821f347-4eca-42cd-9c26-7c646e7010e8"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/ee424630-9c4f-472f-82d0-6c38fc24236d/HL.png" data-asset-id="0821f347-4eca-42cd-9c26-7c646e7010e8" data-image-id="0821f347-4eca-42cd-9c26-7c646e7010e8" alt=""></figure>Genoa and Venezia’s clash closed Serie A Enlive matchday 25. The homeside managed their third consecutive victory without conceding any goals - after their wins against Parma (1-0) and Monza (2-0) - for the first time since January/February 2010 with Gasperini between the sticks. Goalkeepers Leali and Radu were key in this match, making great saves throughout but Pinamonti eventually broke the deadlock with an exquisite finish in the 82nd minute. Shortly after, Vieira’s men doubled their lead thanks to Cornet, who found the top corner with a tidy strike. The Lagunari have conceded for the 20th game running and they haven’t won away this season, leaving them now five points from safety. The Grifone, on the other hand, have risen to 11th in the table.&nbsp;<figure data-asset-id="f9f2e9bd-ce22-4071-af7a-3e0bcb6f781c" data-image-id="f9f2e9bd-ce22-4071-af7a-3e0bcb6f781c"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/02bd9708-7f5e-4c59-8099-f002381386ed/Sito_HERO_Genoa.png" data-asset-id="f9f2e9bd-ce22-4071-af7a-3e0bcb6f781c" data-image-id="f9f2e9bd-ce22-4071-af7a-3e0bcb6f781c" alt=""></figure>Every goal from round 25, <a href="https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/every-goal-from-round-25-144ikk98662j16" data-new-window="true" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">click here</a>.(Photo LaPresse)
