Stefano Pioli would have hoped for a birthday present on the pitch for his 60th birthday, but his former club, AC Milan, denied that wish.

After all, he brought the 19th Scudetto and relit the fire in the Rossoneri.
"McTominay really is the story of Serie A, this season," said local football journalist Vincenzo Credendino. "The people here can see how hard he works for the team and in this city that is so important."
Cristiana Girelli, approaching her 35th birthday, has had an outstanding season with Juventus Women, leading Serie A Femminile in goals, showcasing her resilience and talent.
