The18's Serie A Predictions For 2022-23 Season

European soccer leagues are back and the Serie A will definitely be one to watch. This season in particular will be perhaps the most competitive in the last decade. With Juventus being kicked off its nine-year Scudetto winning streak by Inter Milan in 2021, AC Milan winning its first league title in 11 years last season and AS Roma coming off its historic European trophy winning season, the Italian calcio is making a comeback. So what better time for some Serie A predictions?

Real Madrid Wonderkids Who Ended Up Performing Elsewhere

Real Madrid wonderkids — the list could go on forever.

Madrid has let go of so much talent that if they hadn't been so successful these past years, Madridistas would have put up a bounty for the president of the club, Florentino Pérez.

New Paulo Dybala Transfer to Roma Shocks Juventus Fans

Seven seasons after joining the club, Paulo Dybala has completed his move away from Juventus. He will be playing for AS Roma following months of speculation and near guarantees that he would be moving to Inter Milan. But what happened? How did this beautiful marriage fall apart and crumble so quickly and so catastrophically?

Serie A Makes History And Appoints League's First Ever Female Referee

Italy's Serie A has appointed Maria Sole Ferrieri Caputi for the 2022-23 season as its first female referee.

The 31-year-old Ferrieri Caputi became the first female to referee a match involving a Serie A team last year — Cagliari’s Italian Cup clash with Cittadella.

She will now referee a top-flight match for the first time next term after joining the league's officiating team on Friday.

New Challengers Approach — Meet The Three Promoted Teams In Serie A For 2022-23 Season

Last season, Venezia showed the world just how difficult it is to stay up in the first division after being promoted. Many teams work for years to reach the first division only to bounce right back down the following season. After a long season in Serie B, let's meet the three newest members of Serie A and learn how they got here.

Samuel Eto’o Pays $5.9 Million To Avoid Prison In Spain

BARCELONA — Former Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o was handed a 22-month suspended prison sentence by a Spanish court on Monday after admitting tax fraud of 3.8 million euros ($4.00 million) while he was playing for Barcelona.

Eto'o agreed to pay a fine of 1.8 million euros and the 3.8 million in tax owed from image rights between 2006 and 2009.

Complete Champions League List Of Winners

The Champions League — formerly the European Cup — is the premier club soccer competition in the world, annually anointing a new champion to the team in Europe able to navigate a gauntlet of matches to reign supreme. The Champions League list of winners is a history of club football at its best — the teams that defined eras as much as any World Cup winner. 

Olivier Giroud Leads AC Milan To First Scudetto In More Than A Decade

Olivier Giroud will never be considered an all-time great footballer, but the Frenchman wins wherever he goes. He added yet another trophy to his considerable mantle while scoring a brace on Sunday.

Giroud’s two goals helped AC Milan beat Sassuolo 3-0 on Sunday, rendering Inter Milan’s 3-0 win over Sampdoria moot. The Rossoneri edged the Nerazzurri for the Serie A crown 86 points to 84, claiming Milan’s first Scudetto since 2011. 

Ivan Perišić’s Two-Footed Genius Ensures Juventus Finishes Season Trophyless

Weston McKennie and Juventus will finish the 2021-22 season without a trophy. Ivan Perišić made sure of it with two well-taken goals — one with each foot — in extra time as Inter Milan claimed the Coppa Italia 4-2 on Wednesday at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. 

In a wild, back-and-forth match that saw Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri shown a red card, Inter took full advantage of two penalty kicks and dominated extra time to claim its eighth Coppa Italia, trailing only Juventus (14) and Roma (9) for most all time. 

You Cannot Fathom How Bad This Inter Howler Is Until You See It

It was all set up for Inter Milan to retake the lead in the race for the Serie A title. Just beat 13th-place Bologna and the blue half of Milan would overtake the red half for first place with four games to go. 

Instead, backup goalkeeper Ionuț Radu committed one of the worst howlers in the history of European football. 

Bologna knocked off Inter Milan 2-1 thanks to a calamitous mistake from Radu, who whiffed on the ball from inside his own six-yard box, allowing Nicola Sansone to swoop in and poke home the match winner in the 81st minute.
