Several Serie A records have been shattered today thanks to the shock victories of Sassuolo and Monza away to Milan and Juventus.
This is the first round in the second half of the season and has already provided some quite extraordinary results.
Milan capitulated 5-2 at San Siro to Sassuolo, then Juventus fell 2-0 at the Allianz Juventus Stadium to Monza.
It is the first time in 30 years that both Milan and Juve have lost at home on the same day in Serie A, since March 21, 1993.
Back then, the Bianconeri were beaten 2-0 by Inter and the Rossoneri fell 1-0 to Parma.
Monza already earned their historic first ever Serie A victory on September 18 against the Old Lady and it proved a pivotal moment for their campaign.
They become the first ever team to win both home and away against Juventus in their debut Serie A season.
Monza are the second newcomers to keep two clean sheets with the Old Lady, after Cagliari in 1964-65.
Since 1945, only four debutant top flight teams have been able to avoid defeat to Juventus home and away, specifically Avellino in 1978-79, Cagliari in 1964-65, Catania in 1954-55 and Monza this season.
Nice records. And… comments section is back. I hope no abuses.
Having to register an account is a step forward, at least you have to be who you say you are now. It’s still very hit and miss on what comments actually post though.
