Serie A Chronicles

It was a week of draws in Serie A but the football was secondary as the main focus of the week was the wellbeing of Roma’s Evan Ndicka, who collapsed on the pitch at Udinese with chest pain. Fortunately he is on the road to recovery.

Mina Rzouki on a remarkable European night for Italian clubs in the Europa League quarter final 1st leg. Atalanta went to Anfield and brought home a 0-3 victory over Liverpool, and Roma took the spoils from San Siro with a 0-1 win over Milan…. and both teams probably should have come home with even bigger margins.

Unstoppable Inter earned a stoppage time win at Udinese with a Davide Frattesi goal to set up the potential of sealing the Scudetto with a victory in the Milan derby in two weeks' time.

It was a memorable Rome derby for the sideshow drama, as Gianluca Mancini scored the winning goal and carried on with the curva sud in the afters, and Paulo Dybala reminded Matteo Guendouzi of their respective international exploits.

Mina Rzouki answers the following question sent in by Chronicles Tifosi Patron Tom Downs, and takes us down an interesting and winding road... "Ciao tutti... Interested to know what the gang think about reports of Conte to Milan in the Summer? And whether the signing of Terracciano is a nod to this?"

The team previews the Rome derby between Roma and Lazio. Who wil paint the eternal city in their colours as Daniele De Rossi and Igor Tudor meet in their first Derby della Capitale as new managers of their respective clubs?

Nicky Bandini on Fiorentina's 1-0 win over Atalanta in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi final, with a sensational strike from La Viola's Rolando Mandragora to win the match, and how Atalanta's approach to this match might bode for their upcoming Europa League quarter final tie against Liverpool.

Patrick Kendrick on Juventus' 2-0 win over Lazio in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi final, just days after defeat to the biancocelesti in Serie A.

After some of us spent the Easter break consuming far too much chocolate, we ask is time up for Max Allegri at Juventus or is there a case for keeping him at the club beyond this season?
