Twenty-fifth appointment with “Macché te lo guardi?”, the weekly column of Calciostyle dedicated to the 2024/2025 Serie A women’s championship.
Women’s football in Italy in recent years has been gaining more and more space, attracting the interest of millions of fans who experience the sport in our beloved Boot. Despite there still being a vast majority of people who “snub” this category, in recent seasons there have been several events and facts that have brought women’s football to a very high level.
We cannot overlook the transition to professionalism (1st July 2022) and reaching milestones that until a few years ago were unthinkable, such as reaching the 40,000 spectators mark for a single match.
Compared to other European countries (Spain and England in particular), the difference in terms of audience and interest surrounding women’s football is, to quote a famous Roman expression, “still a dear friend,” meaning it is still quite significant.
By also leveraging the irreverence of the column title “Macché, te lo guardi?”, we want to shed further light on a reality that is gaining more and more ground in our beloved country: women’s football. Ultimately, what matters to us Italians is to watch and be able to comment on the game of football, regardless of who is playing.
Serie A Femminile, the seventh round of Scudetto Pool and Relegation Pool
The seventh round of the Scudetto Pool and Relegation Pool of Serie A women’s sees, especially at the top of the table, two great joys. Indeed, Juventus, after a two-year absence, returns to the top of Italy with three rounds to spare by defeating Milan at home thanks to a brace from the unstoppable and increasingly legendary Cristiana Girelli. The Old Lady owes her sixth Scudetto to the Bianconeri striker, who scored 19 goals in 22 appearances this season.
Also celebrating is Inter under Piovani. In the big home match against Roma for the fight for second place, the Nerazzurre beat the Giallorosse 3-0 and mathematically secure their historic first qualification for the Women’s Champions League.
In the Relegation Pool, Lazio and Sassuolo win convincingly against Napoli and Como, respectively. The Biancocelesti overtake Como once again in the standings, taking the lead in the Relegation Pool. Meanwhile, the Neroverdi close the gap on the Larian team in the standings.
Relegation Pool
Piemonte and Goldoni lead Lazio: Napoli’s regret
Lazio – Napoli 2 – 1
2′ Piemonte (L), 41′ Goldoni (L), 50′ Di Giammarino (N)
A third consecutive victory for Lazio under Grassadonia as they defeat Napoli at home at the Marko Fersini stadium in Formello. The home team starts stronger with the ever-so-spirited Piemonte putting her personal stamp on the match just two minutes in.
The former Milan and Roma forward is skillful in receiving a pass in the box from Simonetti and, with a quick turn, sends the direct opponent to the bar, launched in a sliding tackle to stop the Biancocelesti’s attack. A strong finish on the far post where Bacic can do little or nothing.
Lazio dominates the field and continues to attack, finding the second goal 4 minutes before the end of the first half. A free-kick from Eriksen to the far post where Goldoni emerges with a header to score on the opposite post past the Napoli goalkeeper. The response from the visiting team is swift, and in added time they come inches away from equalizing with Moretti, who fails to put enough power on his header from close range to beat Cetinja, who makes a decisive reflex save.
This is an alarm bell for the Biancocelesti defense, which concedes a goal at the start of the second half through the magic of Di Giammarino. From the left, Sciabica cuts inside and finds the number 21 Napoli player in the middle, who, with a first-time shot, clinically places the ball perfectly into the top corner.
Despite having plenty of time left, Napoli’s attacks prove futile as they push until the end, without finding the equalizing goal. The relegation battle scheduled for the next matchday will be decisive in determining whether Napoli or Sampdoria will be relegated.
Easy victory for Sassuolo: Como tamed in 36 minutes
Sassuolo – Como 3 – 0
2′, 29′ Clelland (S), 36′ Gallazzi (S)
Another third consecutive victory for Sassuolo as they close out the match against Como in just 36 minutes, halting Como’s streak of 4 consecutive positive results.
Right from the start, the Neroverdi take the lead with Clelland. Defensive blunder by Kramzar as she sets up the number 26 forward in the box unintentionally, who one-on-one with the Como goalkeeper makes no mistake. Como is nowhere to be seen in the first half, and Sassuolo takes advantage, going two goals ahead at the half-hour mark again through the ’93 class. A lightning counterattack by the home team, 2 against 1. Dhont draws the defender towards her and serves Clelland in the middle, who dribbles past Ghilardi and scores his personal brace with an empty net.
Seven minutes later, Sassuolo scores the third goal from a corner kick. Dhont takes the corner, and Clelland heads it against the crossbar: Gallazzi is the quickest to react and takes advantage of the loose ball in the box to seal the game. In the second half, Como tries to make a comeback but must contend with the brilliant Neroverdi goalkeeper, who excels in saving Kramzar‘s close-range shot.
Three crucial points for Sassuolo as they shorten the gap to just 1 point in the standings behind Como. With just four points separating Lazio, Como, and Sassuolo, Napoli and Sampdoria find themselves increasingly isolated in the relegation battle.
Rest: Sampdoria
Scudetto Pool
Juventus x6: Girelli leads the celebration
Juventus – Milan 2 – 0
45+1′, 47′ Girelli (J)
Juventus returns to the top of Italy under coach Canzi. The celebration for the sixth Scudetto in Juventus history takes place in Biella: a near-perfect season for the Old Lady, who clinches the Tricolore with three rounds to spare.
Leading the celebration is the top scorer of the Serie A women’s: Cristiana Girelli. The Juventus striker’s brace, at the end of the first half and start of the second half, seals the home victory against a determined Milan. Just before half-time, Girelli is brought down in the box by Sorelli, and the referee points to the spot without hesitation. The number 10 Bianconera steps up from the penalty spot and beats Fedele.
For Juventus’ second goal, the Sorelli-Girelli duel is once again in the spotlight, with the ’90s class emerging victorious. A flick from Cantore to the striker who outmaneuvers Sorelli and, thanks to a deflection off her, beats Fedele. Girelli has scored 19 goals in 22 appearances, putting on a spectacular season and being one of the main contributors to Juventus’ sixth Scudetto. The goal now is to arrive in top form for the Coppa Italia final against Roma, scheduled for May 18th in Como.
Inter makes history: first qualification in Women’s Champions League
Inter – Roma 0 – 3
6′ Polli (I), 72′ aut. Troelsgaard (R), 80′ Bartoli (I)
A historic day for Inter under coach Piovani, as they defeat Roma at home with a resounding 3-0 victory and secure their first-ever qualification for the next edition of the Women’s Champions League.
Right from the start, Roma threatens with the post hit by Haavi just two minutes into the game. However, the Giallorosse fade away from that point onward and struggle to create opportunities against Runarsdottir.
Inter opens the scoring in the 6th minute with Elisa Polli. The Nerazzurri forward becomes unstoppable when facing the Giallorosso defense: she scores her sixth goal of the season, the third against her former Italian champions. A great offensive transition by Inter with Wullaert providing a perfect cross for Csiszar’s header, hitting the crossbar. The ball bounces on the line but is pushed into the net by the responsive Polli.
Roma feels the impact and disappears from the field, leaving the Nerazzurre as absolute masters of the game. Inter takes advantage, creating a shooting gallery at the goal defended by Ceasar, who on several occasions comes up big to save the Spugna team from a heavier humiliation. For the Giallorosse, this season has been often unlucky, as evidenced by the second goal scored by the Nerazzurre.
Wullaert crosses low for Polli, but Troelsgaard intervenes, inadvertently sending the ball into her own net in an embarrassing manner. Eight minutes later, Inter finds the third goal through the former Roma captain Bartoli. More than just damage, it’s a blow to Roma to see their former captain score against them.
A short corner is taken by Schough, who receives centrally at the edge of the box. A mishit by the number 22 player becomes a perfect assist for Bartoli’s acrobatic shot in the box, leaving Ceasar with no chance.
Unbridled joy at the Gianni Brera as the Nerazzurre secure a historic qualification for the Women’s Champions League. A deep red for Roma, who will have to bounce back in these final matches to not squander the Coppa Italia final against Juventus, scheduled for May 18th in Como.

Women’s Serie A, the seventh round of Scudetto and Relegation PoolThe seventh round of the Scudetto and Relegation pools of the Women’s Serie A sees, especially in the top of the standings, two great joys. In fact, Juventus, after two years of absence, returns to the top of Italy with three games to spare by defeating Milan at home thanks to a brace from the unstoppable and increasingly legendary Cristiana Girelli.

Relegation PoolPiemonte and Goldoni lead Lazio: Napoli’s regretLazio – Napoli 2 – 1 2′ Piemonte (L), 41′ Goldoni (L), 50′ Di Giammarino (N) Third consecutive victory for Lazio under Grassadonia who defeats Napoli at the Marko Fersini stadium in Formello. The home team starts better with the usual unleashed Piemonte putting her personal stamp on the match after just two minutes. The former Milan and Roma forward is skillful in receiving a pass in the box from Simonetti and, with a sharp turn, sends the opposing player to the bar, launched in a slide to stop the Biancocelesti’s action. A strong finish on the second post where Bacic can do little or nothing. Lazio dominates the field and continues to attack, finding the second goal four minutes before the end of the first half.

The response from the visiting team does not take long and in injury time they come inches away from equalizing with Moretti, who from close range with a header fails to generate enough power to beat Cetinja, who makes a decisive reflex save. This is a wake-up call for the Biancocelesti defense that falters at the beginning of the second half with the magic of Di Giammarino. From the left, Sciabica cuts inside and finds the number 21 Napoli player in the middle, who, with a first-time effort, unleashes a surgical left-footed shot that perfectly finds the top corner. Despite the plenty of time available, the Azzurre’s assaults prove futile as they push until the end, without finding the equalizing goal. The relegation clash scheduled for the next matchday will be decisive in determining which team between Napoli and Sampdoria will be relegated.
Easy win for Sassuolo: Como tamed in 36 minutesSassuolo – Como 3 – 0 2′, 29′ Clelland (S), 36′ Gallazzi (S) Third consecutive victory also for Sassuolo who in 36 minutes closes the match against Como, interrupting a streak of 4 consecutive positive results.

Three important points for Sassuolo who reduce the gap to just 1 point in the standings against Como. Lazio, Como, and Sassuolo are tied with Napoli and Sampdoria increasingly isolated in the relegation battle.
Resting: Sampdoria Scudetto PoolJuventus x6: Girelli leads the celebrationsJuventus – Milan 2 – 0 45+1′, 47′ Girelli (J) Juventus under coach Canzi returns to the top of Italy. In Biella, the celebration for the sixth Scudetto in Bianconeri history: a season bordering on perfection for the Vecchia Signora who clinches the Tricolore three games early. Leading the celebrations is the top scorer of the Serie A women: Cristiana Girelli. The brace by the Bianconeri forward, at the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half, decides the home match against a spirited Milan. In the final moments of the first half, Girelli is brought down in the box by Sorelli, and the referee points to the spot without hesitation. From the penalty spot steps up the number 10 Bianconeri who beats Fedele. For the second goal of Juventus, the battle between Sorelli and Girelli once again takes center stage, with the class of ’90 prevailing. A flying heel pass from Cantore to the forward who outmaneuvers Sorelli and, thanks to a deflection off the same player, beats Fedele. Girelli has scored 19 goals in 22 appearances, putting up a spectacular season and being one of the main contributors to the sixth Scudetto won by Juventus. The goal now is to arrive in top form for the Coppa Italia final against Roma, scheduled for May 18 in Como.
Inter makes history: first qualification in Women’s Champions LeagueInter – Roma 0 – 3 6′ Polli (I), 72′ aut. Troelsgaard (R), 80′ Bartoli (I) A historic day for Inter under coach Piovani who beat Roma at home with a resounding 3-0 scoreline and secure, for the first time in their history, a spot in the next edition of the Women’s Champions League. Straight from the start, Roma hits the outside post with Haavi after just two minutes of play. However, the Giallorosse fade from the field from that point on and struggle to create chances against Runarsdottir. Inter opens the scoring in the 6th minute with Elisa Polli. The Nerazzurri forward becomes unstoppable whenever she sees the Giallorossi: she scores her sixth goal of the season, the third against her former Italian champions. A great offensive transition by Inter with Wullaert providing a perfect cross to the head of Csiszar who hits the crossbar. The ball bounces off the line but is pushed into the net by the alert Polli. Roma feels the blow and disappears from the field, leaving the Nerazzurre in complete control. Inter takes advantage, creating a shooting gallery in front of the goal defended by Ceasar, who several times makes crucial saves to prevent a heavier defeat for the Sponge team. For the Giallorosse, this season has often been unlucky, and the second goal by Inter is emblematic of that. A low cross by Wullaert to Polli, but Troelsgaard intervenes and, in an attempt to stop the ball, inadvertently scores an own goal. Eight minutes later, Inter finds the third goal with the former Roma captain Bartoli. Beyond the damage, there’s also the irony for Roma to see their former captain score. A short corner taken by Schough who receives it centrally at the edge of the box. A scrambled shot by the player number 22 turns into a perfect assist for the flying turn by Bartoli in the box, who beats Ceasar without mercy. Uncontainable joy at the Gianni Brera for the Nerazzurre who secure a historic qualification for the Women’s Champions League. A deep red for Roma who will have to try to bounce back in these last matches to avoid wasting the Coppa Italia final against Juventus, scheduled for May 18 in Como.
