🔴⚫️ Zlatan Ibrahimović on AC Milan's future: “The next step is to strengthen the team to make it even stronger and be competitive for the objectives we have, namely trophies. Not only in Italy but also in Europe, because Milan’s history is also in Europe. Milan don’t win, they make history: this is the difference with the others.”

Last week was a special one for our Media Chronicles Production team in Perth, getting to hang out with AS Roma and AC Milan in Perth at the Crown Towers Perth press conference, WA Government state reception, training for both teams at HBF Park and of course the match at Optus Stadium.

Thank you to Lou Sticca and the Tribal Sports Group, together with Tourism Western Australia Minister Rita Saffioti MLA, for organising this wonderful event.

FYI: Roma won the entertaining match 5-2 and the crowd was over 56,500. Bring on more Lega Serie A in Western Australia!

Patrick Kendrick on a Coppa Italia triumph for Juventus and Max Allegri over Atalanta in a season which had looked anything but a silverware-winning one for the bianconeri.

24/04/2024

Inter clinched the Scudetto and made history by doing so for the first time ever in a Milan Derby clash, as they defeated their Milanese rivals.

Patrick Kendrick, Nicky Bandini & Mina Rzouki discuss it all!

18/04/2024

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.

Claudio Ranieri’s Cagliari keep on Cagliari-ing with yet another late comeback, this time at San Siro to earn a 2-2 draw against champions-elect Inter.

Sassuolo continues to be a bogey team for Milan after a 3-3 draw in which it was the rossoneri which needed to come back from a 2-goal deficit.

Atalanta let up a 2-goal lead against Verona ahead of the Europa League return.

Can the deficits in the Europa League quarter finals be turned around: for Milan against Roma and for Liverpool against Atalanta?

Will Atalanta's genius Gian Piero Gasperini become their Alex Ferguson, or will bigger pastures come calling?

And we have to talk about Juventus after a dull scoreless draw with cross-town rivals Torino in the Turin derby.

It was a memorable Rome derby for the sideshows that created the 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.

Inter earned a stoppage time win at Udinese with a Davide Frattesi goal to set up a potential Scudetto win in the Milan derby.

Rumours abound the happiness (or lack thereof) in the Juventus dressing room and Max Allegri’s job despite a win over Fiorentina.

Claudio Ranieri continues to get every drop out of Cagliari win yet another late late show in a come-from-behind win over Atalanta. Does Atalanta have the tools to get past Liverpool in their Europa League quarter final tie?

Milan easily overcame Lecce ahead of their own Italian derby with Roma in the Europa League. Who goes in to Thursday’s 1st leg with the greater momentum?

One year ago, Nicky Bandini and Mina Rzouki recorded this episode after we learned of the death of Gianluca Vialli, a legend of Italian and English football and a much loved human. Here it is again in full on the 1st anniversary of his passing. We miss him.

*****

In a special emotional Serie A Chronicles episode, Nicky Bandini and Mina Rzouki pay tribute to Gianluca Vialli, who sadly passed away in London after a long walk with his unwanted travel companion, pancreatic cancer.
We focus on the man, more than the player, and the impact he made on so many.
