Monza
For the second consecutive match, Monza suffered from refereeing decisions. In their last match against Atalanta, which ended with a score of 0-2, the referee canceled a goal from Vignato, while in the match against Milan (0-1), Dani’s goal Mota suffered the same fate. Subsequently, the referee of that match, Ermanno Feliciani, was suspended from duty, but Alessandro Nesta’s side found little solace as they dropped to penultimate in the league standings .
“It’s unfair; we were robbed of several points. Now we have to channel the anger that has built up over the last few games. What’s done is done; we have to start from scratch without excuses,” said Nesta.

Lazio
Lazio not only share places with Atalanta and Fiorentina in the Serie A table, ranging from third to fifth place, but they also sit at the top of the Europa League table. Last Thursday, Marco Baroni’s side beat Porto in European competition, thanks to goals from Romagnoli and Pedro in added time in each half, marking their fifth consecutive victory in all competitions. The Eagles have nine wins in their last ten games, their only defeat coming against Juventus after Romagnoli was shown a red card in the 24th minute.
“We are an ambitious group, and we don’t set any limits,” Baroni said. Meanwhile, in Rome, there is consensus that Claudio Lotito made the right choice in appointing the coach, a decision many questioned at the start of the season. After spending two months at the club’s Formello training ground (literally – the coach has only just moved into his own house), Baroni revamped Lazio’s dressing room and way of playing. His contract with the club runs until the summer of 2026, but Corriere dello Sport has already reported that after the New Year, Lotito intends to offer the coach a contract extension.

“Of course, I give everything, because working with Lazio is an incredible opportunity,” Baroni stressed. The atmosphere in the dressing room of this Roman team is fantastic, with the players inspired by their performances and results. Monza is unlikely to be able to compete with that. They are nowhere at the level of Ivan Juric’s Roma.
