Totally against all odds it was a real impressive display by Atalanta to frustrate Leverkusen. They never allowed them to delve on the ball resulting in some real giveaways even resulting in that brilliant second goal by Lookman. Scamacca who was also regarded as a English Premier League flop with West Ham, was pretty impressive in his passing and even provided that assist for Lookman to seal the deal with that final goal. 3-0 was a score that nobody predicted.

The rumour mill has already started, GP Gasperini to replace Jurgen Klopp. Gasperini coached Inter back in 2011 for five games then was fired.

Speaking of Inter, check out Davide Frattesi's sister. Is she natural beauty or make-up?

Her name is Chiara Frattesi

It's happened, the dismantling of Bologna has begun. They will have to go into the CL playoffs without Thiago Motta.

Ac Milan better hurry the fuck up if they want De Zerbi to coach the club.

We don't need no stinking Super League! Lookman was an Everton reject...where are the Toffees now.

He's very precise

Juve was trying to get Motta. Bologna did very well this year.

I was surprised too, I thought any moment Bayer were going to kick in, but Atalanta kept blocking them.

According to calciomercato, Thiago Motta to Juventus is a done deal.

Davide Frattesi has been called up to the Azzurri. He reunites with his Sassuolo strike partner Gianluca Scamacca...Sassuolo was coached by Roberto De Zerbi.

Scamacca's Roman accent is almost as thick as Totti's. You can't tell that Frattesi is also Roman.

Apparently, Paqueta claims that he fully co-operated with the investigation and even submitted his cellphone etc to those investigating.
Paqueta makes some wild and frustrating tackles at times. So I wonder whether this is all down to circumstantial evidence from those 4 Yellow card bookings.
If he is found guilty then not only his career is over, but West Ham stand to lose all the money they paid for him as well as the outstanding dues from that sale.

Whom did West Ham pay the $65 million US transfer fee to, Lyon or Milan? Speaking of pucuroni, Nicolo Fagioli's suspension for gambling has expired, Juve have reinstated him. He came on as a substitute in the Italian Cup Final. Sandro Tonali is not so lucky.

In other news Stefano Pioli has coached his last match for Milan, Giroud and Kjaer are also done. Paulo Fonseca is the front runner to replace Pioli.

To be frank, Paquetta, Fagioli and Tonali are not fit to be classified with these magnificent beasts.

This season he has cemented his status as a great at the club, who were playing in Italy's third tier when Ranieri arrived for his first spell in 1988.

Having inherited a side fighting relegation, he helped the club to consecutive promotions and then top-flight safety before heading to Fiorentina and then the likes of Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Juventus, Inter Milan and Monaco.

Claudio Ranieri deserves to go to the beach, catch a few rays and drink a few Aperol spritz.

When it comes to developing goalies, England has to do better. Is that the Italian CR7?
