Superba Samp, Eternal Roma and the touch of Tavecchio

Join Editor-in-Chief Conor Clancy, Padraig Whelan and Dov Schiavone as they look back on a wonderful Serie A season. High upon high for Juventus to made it seven-in-a-row, as well as claiming their fourth consecutive double, though they were pushed all the way by Napoli who broke their highest ever points record in the Italian top flight. The excitement didn't end with the Scudetto race as Inter and Lazio went blow for blow in a last-match Champions League decider, which the Nerazzurri won in the final ten minutes in Rome. AC Milan floundered, Atalanta looked to the heavens again, and Crotone failed in their second attempt at a great escape. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/forzaitlianfootball.

It wasn't the most eventful round of Serie A this week as we saw plenty of scoreless draws and six of the ten games played ended without a winner but, nevertheless, the FIFpod is here to discuss the action.Juventus pulled clear at the top as Napoli were held at AC Milan while Atalanta drew with Inter and the Derby della Capitale also ended all square.Cheick Diabate kept scoring for Benevento as the battle at the bottom stayed as interesting as the races for Europe, and Thomas Probert returned alongside Vito Doria and host Conor Clancy to discuss it all.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/forzaitlianfootball.

A crazy week of Champions League action saw Roma complete an amazing comeback against Barcelona at the Stadio Olimpico, beating the Catalan giants 3-0 to make it to the semi-finals on away goals. The Italian job continued on Wednesday as Juventus overturned their first leg deficit against Real Madrid, only to be denied by a controversial 98th minute penalty by Cristiano Ronaldo. Meanwhile, there was the plight of Lazio, who beat Salzburg 4-2 at home, but succumbed to three goals in three minutes in Austria, to lose 4-1 on the night, and exit the Europa League. Forza Italian Football's Dov Schiavone is joined by Vieri Capretta and Padraig Whelan, as well as special guests Adam Digby and Colin O'Brien to digest the week's events.
