Lazio beat Juventus 1-0 with literally last kick off the match in 94th minute. It took a piece of real magic from Frenchman Guendouzi to set up a glorious headed goal from defender Marusic for a well deserved win, One question remains - why was Guendouzi not on from start?
Lazio-Juve, 0-0 at halftime , Lazio have had 80% possession but created few chances. Juve have created even less in a poor quality. Match
Hope for better in 2nd half
For this relief, much thanks…Italy beat North Macedonia 5-2 in Rome Euro24 qualifier last night and now need to draw with or defeat Ukraine in their final qualifier on Monday (at neutral venue of Leverkusen, Germany for obvious war-related reasons) to qualify for Euro24.
Getting Ready For Italy v North Macedonia. Remarkably, this has become a must-win Euro 24 qualifier, if Italy are to avoid the humiliation of failure to qualify for these Euro Finals after failure to qualify for the last two World Cup Finals in Russia and Qatar
@FlanneryTony Tony, I look forward to the documentary- somehow suspect that Vatican TV will not be showing it, will have to look elsewhere. Un Abbraccio, Paddy
There aren’t many news stories that will stop almost every Irish person in their tracks. This very sad news is one of them. RIP to one of the finest singers of this - or any - generation. https://t.co/MELx6MGZEW
#PapaFrancesco Ten days after he entered Rome's Gemelli hospital for an operation on a blocked intestine, a shook looking Pope Francis returned to the Vatican this morning. Asked how he was, the 86-year-old Pope told reporters "I'm alive" before climbing into a waiting taxi.
#BERLUSCONI 3 times Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi died in hospital in Milan this morning at the age of 86. Berlusconi had, lately, been suffering from a lukemia related disease. Media tycoon, owner of AC Milan football club, with him, truly we witness the passing of an era. RIP
@roloblanc With all the best will in the world & acknowledging that Inter gave a very solid account of themselves, I never really felt they were ever going to win
Brutal week for Italian football. 3 Finals, 3 defeats. It says much about the state of the game here that up at the San Siro where thousands of Inter fans watched Man City’s 1-0 CL win on a big screen, the Inter fans were celebrating, glad that Inter only lost 1-0. Christ
@greek1988 Take your point, I would concede that the Inter fans (or most of them) were genuinely grateful (relieved?) about Inter’s good performance. Still, it has been a “brutal” week for Italian football. Roma beaten on penalties, Fiorentina should have won & Man City win as expected
At the end of this morning's public audience in the Vatican, 86-y-old Pope Francis went into Rome's Gemelli Hospital where, under general anesthesia, he is to undergo abdominal surgery to relieve "a recurrent, increasingly painful" condition, according to the Vatican Press Office
"Literature is like a thorn in the heart; it moves us to contemplation and sets us on a journey...Artists are those who with their eyes both see and dream...We human beings yearn for a new world we will probably never see...Woe to us if we ever stop dreaming" Pope Francis 27/3
Inter are back in Champions L. Final for first time since The Special One led them to win trophy in 2010. Lautaro Martinez wrapped up this deserved 1-0 win with 74th minute goal. Just at the moment, Inter are clearly the more in form of the two Milanese sides
#Napoli finally do it & win the title by drawing 1-1 away to Udinese to achieve mathematical certainty about a title won with 5 games in hand. Magical night in Naples as 60,000 celebrate 3rd title at the Maradona, on the big screen. This is 1st Napoli title since 1990
Saviano’s Gomorra was criticised by locals for portraying Naples as a violent slum but it has encouraged not deterred tourists and he believes it triggered a creative boom, claiming: “Shedding a light on a city doesn’t stigmatise it, it transforms it."

#SerieA : Almost inevitably, the Napoli title celebration proved a major anti-climax as the leaders drew 1-1 at home to Salernitana. Now 18pts clear of 2nd placed Lazio (beaten 3-1 by Inter today) with 6 games to play, Napoli should wrap it up away to Udinese next Thursday
