The Champions League recently confirmed the domination of Manchester City, despite a tense meeting against the Napoliti, marked by the early expulsion of Giovanni Di Lorenzo. This defeat aroused a strong reaction from the interist supporters, who affirmed themselves as the only ones proudly defending Italy in this competition. The Atalanta also suffered a defeat against the PSG, while the Juventus won a home draw against Borussia Dortmund. These results fed into a debate on the performance of the referees in Serie A, in particular regarding the appointment of Mr.Mazzoleni as arbitrator-VAR for the crucial match of Sampdoria.

The case of Mike Maigan, Milan goaltender, was at the heart of the discussions during the last mercato. His refusal to renew his contract led Naples to become interested in Alex Meret, who eventually signed with the Neapolitan club. This strategy is part of an important investment policy, such as the acquisition of Milinkovic-Savic in Turin. There have even been rumours of Milan’s initial interest in the Serbian player, due to the good relations between the two clubs and the player’s agent.

These developments highlight the complexity of the transfer market and the challenges of competition. The debate on arbitration, in particular on controversial decisions involving Mr. Mazzoleni, continues to divide opinions. The future of Mike Maigan and the possible arrival of Alex Meret in Milan suggest new opportunities for both clubs, while Naples prepares to face next season with a strengthened team. The outcome of these situations could redefine the balance in Italian football.
