The Anglo Italian Podcast rounds up a decisive midweek stretch in Serie A (16–19 January 2026), where title races shifted, momentum built, and one Scudetto dream officially died — before looking ahead to a huge weekend of European football for Italian clubs. Cagliari shithouse a 1–0 win over Juventus in Sardinia, as we say R.I.P. to Juve’s Scudetto hopes after a brutal night away from home. Fiorentina continue their resurgence, delivering an aggressive and dominant first half to beat a struggling Bologna 2–1 in the Derby dell’Appennino. Inter, Napoli and Milan all grind out 1–0 wins, keeping the title race incredibly tight at the top of Serie A.
