The most popular Italian sports newspaper has plenty going on across the front page. AC Milan’s Rafael Leao takes center-stage ahead of Friday’s clash with Pisa.

A sell out crowd is expected at the San Siro with the Rossoneri looking to go four points clear at the summit. Something they will have to do without the injured Christian Pulisic.

Elsewhere, Roma’s loss to Viktoria Plzen is highlighted alongside Bologna and Fiorentina’s success in Europe. Jonathan David could start for Juventus on Sunday and Antonio Comte and Cristian Chivu get set to collide.

Zion Suzuki spoke exclusively to Corriere dello Sport. The Parma goalkeeper reveals that he is fully focused on the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Furthermore, he also wants to elevate himself to world class status.

Artem Dovbyk and Evan Ferguson came under fire for Roma. Edin Dzeko and Fiorentina came good in the UECL. Elsewhere, Napoli are hopeful that Rasmus Hojlund will play against Inter.

Juventus star Kenan Yildiz is expected to step up in the Bianconeri’s crunch game against Lazio on Sunday. The Turkey international has blanked in his last two games after a fast start to the season.

Former Atalanta forward and current Azzurri goalscorer Mateo Retegui has blasted AC Milan. He insists current employers Al-Qadsiah are a “more serious club.”

Staying with Milan, the Rossoneri can go four points clear with victory over Pisa. Bologna’s fine 2-1 away win in the UEL against FCSB has earned deserved column inches.

Unsurprisingly, Roma’s shock defeat at home to Viktoria Plzen has not gone down too well with supporters. Even head coach Gian Piero Gasperini has insisted its a worry if his forwards can score against lesser opposition.
