The competition in the Italian league is heating up, and Monday's matches completed the picture of the 26th round of games. Fiorentina narrowly defeated Pisa in a crucial derby clash. The only goal of the match was scored by Moise Kean, which for the "Viola" team means breaking a streak of poorer results and a significant move away from the relegation zone. After this defeat, the Pisa team is now nine points away from a safe position in the table, putting them in an extremely difficult situation ahead of the decisive phase of the season. In the second Monday match, Bologna confirmed its high form by defeating Udinese. The victory was secured by a precisely executed penalty kick by Federico Bernardeschi. Thanks to the three points, Vincenzo Italiano's charges moved up to eighth place in Serie A. Meanwhile, in Milan, the situation is becoming clear: leading Inter Milan now has a 10-point advantage over its rivals after AC Milan's home defeat to Parma. Serie A, founded in 1898 under the name Campionato Italiano di Football, has for decades been considered one of the most tactical leagues in the world, where defensive discipline often dominates over offensive spectacle. Simultaneously, the attention of the Italian public is focused on the upcoming return legs in European cups. Juventus is preparing for a crucial clash with Turkish Galatasaray in the Champions League. Good news comes from the "Old Lady's" medical camp – defender Bremer and young talent Kenan Yildiz have resumed training with the group, increasing their chances of playing. Coach Luciano Spalletti faces the difficult task of overturning the deficit, and the media calculate that qualification is worth nearly 30 million euros, which is crucial for the club's budget. „Sei troppo forte.” (You are too strong.) — Vincenzo Italiano
