We recorded this episode 3 years ago on the 20th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States. We publish it again here on the 23rd anniversary...

******

Mel and Simon reflect on what has happened in the 20 years since September 11, the significance of the event on the world, and the repercussions that we are seeing to this day because of the events of that day. We also discuss the United States military's bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan.

🇮🇹⚽🎙 La Finale: Missed Opportunities Cost Inter in Champions League Final
🎧 serieachronicles.com/episode/la-finale-missed-opportunities-cost-inter-in-champions-league-final

Mina Rzouki & Nicky Bandini review the 2022-23 UEFA Champions League Final between Inter and Manchester City and consider the big questions arising from the nerazzurri's narrow defeat:

➡ Did they blow their chance for an upset victory?
➡ Can Simone Inzaghi's Inter squad get back to another final with these players?
➡ What does the immediate future hold for the club from a player and financial perspective?
➡ What did we make of the missed goal opportunities by Lautaro Martinez and Romelu Lukaku?

We discuss Serie A's relegation playout match between Spezia and Verona which saw drama, a send-off, a missed penalty, amazing goalkeeping as well as plenty of goals, as the gialloblu survive for another season in the top flight and sent Spezia down to Serie B.

Claudio Ranieri's Cagliari Calcio found a stoppage time winner in their Serie B promotion playoff against Bari in incredible scenes which had everyone's favourite gentleman of calcio in floods of tears, after he pulled off a miracle, returning in January to the club he first managed in 1988 and dragging the team up from 14th place to earn promotion to Serie A for the Sardinians.

Italy Under 20s lost their World Cup Final to Uruguay.

And we pay to tribute to Silvio Berlusconi who died shortly prior to our recording of this episode.

The final episode of Serie A Chronicles for the 2021-22 season, and one of our best!

🇮🇹⚽🎙NEW EPISODE | 🔥 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗔𝗯𝗹𝗮𝘇𝗲 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝟭𝟵𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲 𝗔 𝙎𝙘𝙪𝙙𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙤 🏆 with Mina Rzouki & Nicky Bandini
🎧 https://serieachronicles.com/episode/milan-is-ablaze-winning-its-19th-serie-a-scudetto

It's our final episode of the 2021-22 season as we wrap up an incredible season and an amazing final round in which Milan brought home the Serie A trophy and added a 19th Scudetto badge to its glorious history, with an emphatic 3-0 victory at Sassuolo.

The Rossoneri steamrolled the Neroverdi in the first half with a breathless attacking barrage that sealed La Diavola's 11th Serie A crown and ended any chance of a final day miracle for their Inter rivals.

We discuss the growth of this Milan team, the management under Stefano Pioli, Directorship of Paolo Maldini and others, and the ownership of the club by Elliott Management Corporation since 2018.

And what about Inter? Nicky and Mina wonder what regrets they'll have after a season of fine margins, and how will they build back better for next season?

It was a final day relegation battle that didn't see any teams do any favours for those fighting for their Serie A lives, as Cagliari incredibly couldn't find a way to score against bottom side Venezia, and now join them in Serie B.

But the real final day miracle story, despite a thrashing at home by Udinese, was Salernitana's salvezza to go around again in Serie A, amid phenomenal scenes of celebration with the passionate Granata tifosi at the Stadio Arechi and in the city of Salerno. It's another amazing Davide Nicola rescue story, of a club which came so close to not finishing the season in Serie A, or even existing, around Christmas time. Oh calcio... we love you!

Fiorentina earned a European place for next season by beating Juventus, and they'll compete in the Europa Conference League next season, and is Paul Pogba returning to Juventus?

And what does Gian Piero Gasperini's future look like now that Atalanta has missed out on a European competition spot for the first time in years?
