Milan is Ablaze Winning its 19th Serie A "Scudetto"

It's our final episode of the 2021-22 season as we wrap up an incredible season and an amazing final round in which Milan brought home the Serie A trophy and added a 19th Scudetto badge to its glorious history, with an emphatic 3-0 victory at Sassuolo. The Rossoneri steamrolled the Neroverdi in the first half with a breathless attacking barrage that sealed La Diavola's 11th Serie A crown and ended any chance of a final day miracle for their Inter rivals. We discuss the growth of this Milan team, the management under Stefano Pioli, Directorship of Paolo Maldini and others, and the ownership of the club by Elliott Management Corporation since 2018. And what about Inter? Nicky and Mina wonder what regrets they'll have after a season of fine margins, and how will they build back better for next season? It was a final day relegation battle that didn't see any teams do any favours for those fighting for their Serie A lives, as Cagliari incredibly couldn't find a way to score against bottom side Venezia, and now join them in Serie B. But the real final day miracle story, despite a thrashing at home by Udinese, was Salernitana's salvezza to go around again in Serie A, amid phenomenal scenes of celebration with the passionate Granata tifosi at the Stadio Arechi and in the city of Salerno. It's another amazing Davide Nicola rescue story, of a club which came so close to not finishing the season in Serie A, or even existing, around Christmas time. Oh calcio... we love you! Fiorentina earned a European place for next season by beating Juventus, and they'll compete in the Europa Conference League next season, and is Paul Pogba returning to Juventus? And what does Gian Piero Gasperini's future look like now that Atalanta has missed out on a European competition spot for the first time in years? It's been a fun ride.
