In the Italian Serie A championship, the matches of the 25th round were played. After them, the "Milan" club increased the gap from the 2nd place to 7 points.

The central round match was between the old rivals, "Juventus" and "Milan" clubs. These highly anticipated matches, which took place in Turin, were won 1-3 by the visitors from Milan. From the very beginning of the game, both teams had chances, but the Milan players were the first to score. In the 24th minute, Shevchenko from Ukraine put the visitors ahead. This was followed by two goals from the Dutchman Clarence Seedorf, which ultimately buried the Juventus team. The consolation goal for the home team from a corner was scored by Ferrara.

Another Italian super-club "AS Roma" dropped two points by failing to defeat the underdogs "Reggina" team. This match ended in a 0-0 draw. After the match, the "Reggina" players received praise from the coach of the capital club, Fabio Capello.

The Milan "Inter" club continues its streak of unsuccessful matches. This time in Serie A, they failed to beat the "Chievo" club at home and played a 0-0 draw. After the match, the "Inter" coach consoled himself by saying that his team deserved 3 points in this match.

However, "Inter" was lucky as their main rivals for the fourth place in the Champions League also did not win: "Lazio" let go of victory in the last minute in the match against "Udinese", and "Parma" shared a point with Marius Stankevicius' "Brescia".
