Fourteenth appointment with “Macché te lo guardi?”, the weekly column of Calciostyle dedicated to the 2024/2025 Serie A women’s championship.
The women’s football movement in Italy in recent years is increasingly gaining space, attracting the interest of millions of fans who live the sport in our dear 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 elevated women’s football to a very high level.
We cannot ignore the transition to professionalism (July 1, 2022) and reaching milestones that were unthinkable just a few years ago, such as reaching a quota of 40 thousand spectators for a single match.
Compared to other European countries (Spain and England above all), the difference in terms of audience and interest revolving around women’s football is, using a popular Roman expression, “still at dear friend,” meaning very wide.
By also exploiting the irreverence of the column title “Macché, te lo guardi?”, we want to shed further light on a reality that is increasingly taking hold in our beloved country: women’s football. In the end, what matters to us Italians is just watching and being able to comment on the game, regardless of who is playing.
Women’s Serie A, recap of the fourteenth matchday

Inter is the anti-Juve: former Serturini gives the first victory in the Capital
Roma – Inter 1 – 2
10′ Polli (I), 14′ Thogersen (R), 55′ Serturini (I)
To close this first day of 2025, the big match at Tre Fontane between Roma and Inter is the highlight. A kind of challenge to be the anti-Juve, as the two teams are tied in second place in the standings, behind the Vecchia Signora.
In freezing cold weather, an open match unfolds between two teams eager to take home three crucial points. The away team starts better, and thanks to their suffocating pressing, they recover the ball in a dangerous area and in a 1 vs. 4 situation, find the lead. Serturini picks up the ball lost by Greggi and centrally serves Polli, who unleashes a rocket that nestles just below the crossbar.
The vehement response from the reigning Italian champions does not take long, and after just 4 minutes, they bring the game back to a draw. Mistake by Runarsdottir, who in clearing the ball hits Giacinti, recovers the loose ball, Giugliano, who centrally serves Glionna.
The Roma player fakes the shot and then serves the perfect run of the former Thogersen, who with a precise right-footed shot beats the Inter goalkeeper.
In the 24th minute, the game changes completely. Collision in the penalty area of Inter with Bowen kicking Giacinti, who is already on the ground. The Roma striker loses her temper and retaliates: the referee, without a second thought, shows a straight red to the Yellow-Reds’ number 9. The bench and the entire Roman arena are furious at the lack of sanction for the Inter defender (the coach’s words at the end of the match will be very harsh). A very heavy expulsion as, besides leaving Spugna‘s side with 10 for over an hour, Giacinti will also have to miss the big match, scheduled for next Sunday, against Juventus.
From here on, the match changes with Inter controlling the game, without ever really posing a threat to the goalkeeper defended by Kresche. In the second half, the story remains the same with Roma, who, despite being a player down, tries somehow to be dangerous on the counterattack, mainly thanks to the tireless legs of Greggi.
However, it is the former player Serturini who condemns the Yellow-Reds to defeat in the 55th minute. A masterful move by Mr. Piovani‘s team that arrives on the right with Bugeja who puts a soft ball on the far post for the unmarked Serturini who coordinates perfectly and with a flying right-footed shot beats Kresche. The new Inter lead cuts the legs off Roma, who fails to pose a further threat until the final whistle.
A big win for Inter, beating Roma for the first time at Tre Fontane and positioning themselves as the anti-Juve. A tough defeat for the Yellow-Reds, with a big match against Juventus looming, now 10 points ahead.

Women’s Serie A, recap of the eighteenth round
The eighteenth and final round of the Women’s Serie A regular season offers a mountain of goals, with several exciting matches in terms of entertainment and goals. In fact, in three matches, 20 goals were scored! The opening spectacle was provided by Lazio and Inter in what was undoubtedly the most thrilling match of the day: 4-4 with Piemonte scoring a poker. Sassuolo secured three points against Sampdoria, relegating them to the bottom of the table.
A goalless draw between Fiorentina and Roma, while Juventus strolled at Milan‘s home, dealing a heavy blow to the Rossoneri. A crucial victory for Napoli in terms of survival in the match against Como, who suffered their fourth consecutive defeat. The Larian team had to give up the last slot for the championship pool to Milan, despite the heavy defeat suffered.
Incredible show at Fersini: sensational poker by Piemonte
Lazio – Inter 4 – 4
2′ Tomaselli (I), 8′ Csiszar (I), 66′ Magull (I), 69′ Merlo (I), 62′,65′, 84′, 90+3′ Piemonte
How to start the day with a better match than this? The match at Fersini in Formello between Lazio and Inter provided 90 minutes full of emotions and reversals of fortune for all passionate fans.
Right from the start, the Nerazzurri took the lead with an ex-Roma player Tomaselli. A pass from Cambiaghi for the midfielder’s run into the box, where she shifted and defeated Karresmaa with a right-footed shot deflected by D’Auria. No sooner had they scored that Inter doubled the lead with Csiszar. Schough receives on the left side of the box and centrally serves the Hungarian midfielder, who doesn’t hesitate to unleash a sharp low shot into the near corner where Karresma couldn’t reach.
The first half ended without any other major incidents as both teams closed the first 45 minutes with a score of 0-2 in favor of Piovani‘s side. An hour into the game, the Piemonte show began: the Biancocelesti striker brought the match back to level terms with two goals in 3 minutes.
At 62′, Benoit found the 97′ class player in the box, and with a colossal mistake by Milinkovic, she drilled a precise volley with her left foot from close range, beating Runarsdottir. Two minutes later, Piemonte scored her personal brace. A cross from the left by Zanoli to the Biancoceleste’s number 18, who turned in the air with a left-footed shot, putting the ball into the top corner, restoring parity.
The 7 minutes from the 62nd to the 69th minute were only for the brave-hearted: after Piemonte‘s brace, Inter surged ahead again by two goals. Indeed, no sooner had they celebrated the equalizer than Lazio conceded a long-range goal from Magull. The former Bayern Munich midfielder received at the edge of the box and unleashed a rocket into the near corner that Karresma couldn’t reach. Three more minutes, and Inter scored their fourth with Merlo. A masterful move by the Nerazzurri that led to a shot by Bugeja, a miracle save by the home goalkeeper, the ball slipped to the far post where the Biscione’s winger didn’t miss from close range.
A new double advantage for Inter just over 20 minutes from the end of the game. Disagreeing with this was once again the Lazio striker, Martina Piemonte. At 84′, she completed her hat-trick with a great turn in the box after a scramble in the Inter’s penalty area, reopening the match.
At the last minute, the 1997-born player also scored a poker: a replica of the goal she scored a few minutes earlier. Receiving back to goal for Piemonte who turned, this time to the right, and with a precise right-footed shot across the goal, she brought joy to the entire team coached by Grassadonia. A day that the former Milan and Roma striker, author of her first Serie A poker, will hardly forget.
This concludes the regular season for Inter and Lazio, with the Nerazzurri qualifying for the championship pool in second place, 7 points behind leaders Juventus. The Biancocelesti, on the other hand, finished in seventh place, which secures their place in the survival pool.
Sampdoria falls again: last place in the standings
Sampdoria – Sassuolo 0 – 2
26′ Sabatino (S), 73′ Clelland (S)
In the last round of the regular season, Sampdoria suffered another defeat, this time against Sassuolo, landing them in last place in the standings. At La Sciorba, the hosts started better with a shot by Arcangeli that forced Durand to make an extraordinary save and dive to turn it into a corner.
Despite a better start from the Doriane side, Sassuolo took the lead at the first opportunity with a header by Sabatino. Clelland entered the box and tried a shot, the Samp defense intercepted but handed the ball to the onrushing Philtjens who managed to cross for Sabatino to head in from close range. Despite Pisani‘s intervention, the ball was not deflected enough to prevent the goal.
Sampdoria did what they could, creating some danger for Durand‘s goal, but in the end, they had to succumb. Sassuolo gained momentum and began to create more noteworthy actions. In the 73rd minute, the Neroverdi sealed the deal with a thunderous strike by Clelland. Speeding down the left side, the number 25, as soon as she entered the box, unleashed a rocket that nestled into the far corner, leaving the Blucerchiato keeper motionless.
Both teams will play in the post-season survival pool, with Sassuolo surely playing more carefreely than Sampdoria, who slipped into last place after Napoli’s victory over Como.
Boring match at Viola Park: a draw that serves no one
Fiorentina – Roma 0 – 0
A lot of boredom and few joys in the match at Viola Park between Fiorentina coached by De La Fuente and Roma by Spugna. The two teams failed to capitalize on the slight misstep of Inter at Lazio and did not close the gap on the Nerazzurri, falling further behind the league leaders Juventus.
After a soporific first half with only one dangerous opportunity for each side, in the second half, Roma tried to secure the three points with a few glimpses, culminating in the crossbar hit by Haavi. Fiorentina attempted in the final stages with some offensive sorties, but after three minutes of stoppage time, the match ended in a draw.
A draw that serves neither of the two teams, both of which are qualified for the championship pool. The Giallorosse continue to lose ground on Juventus, further diminishing their already slim hopes of fighting for the league title.
Girelli show: Juventus only needs 6 minutes
Milan – Juventus 0 – 6
25′ Girelli (J), 27′ Boattin (J), 31′ Girelli (J), 39′ Girelli (J), 89′ Bergamaschi (J), 90+1′ Vangsgaard
Juventus overwhelmed Milan in the last round of the regular season. Everything was too easy for the Bianconere, who wrapped up the game against the Rossoneri in just five minutes. At 25′, a corner from the right by Boattin to Girelli‘s head, who soared and, thanks to a lucky deflection off the Diavolo‘s defense, beat Giuliani. Two minutes later, Juventus doubled their lead with Boattin.
A lightning counterattack from the Vecchia Signora saw Bonansea go one-on-one with the Rossoneri keeper and pass to Boattin on the left, who tapped in a goal into the unguarded net. Another 4 minutes and Girelli scored the third goal, again. Krumbiegel entered the box and was brought down by Stokic‘s late tackle: no doubt for the referee who pointed to the spot. Girelli stepped up from the penalty spot and perfectly placed a right-footed shot, completing her personal brace.
The Bianconeri striker was not satisfied yet, and at 39′, she completed her hat-trick. Krumbiegel broke into the box and crossed, the Rossoneri defense cleared poorly, leaving the ball in the air for Girelli to head over Giuliani and virtually seal the match.
In the second half, the story remained the same with Juventus dominating the match and extending the scoreline to 4-0 at 89′ with a goal from former Bergamaschi. Vangsgaard served Lehmann in the middle, who missed the simple right-footed tap-in, then tried with his left foot but found the Rossoneri defense’s block. On the rebound, the quickest was Bergamaschi, who didn’t miss from close range.
At 90+1′, there was also a celebration for former PSG player Vangsgaard, who scored, on a precise pass from Krumbiegel, with a splendid shot curling into the far corner.
Juventus confirms their first position, extending their lead in the standings over Inter and Roma, while Milan, despite the heavy defeat, secured the last spot to access the championship pool thanks to Como‘s defeat to Napoli.
Napoli – Como 4 – 2
44′ Kramzar (C), 49′ Sliskovic (N), 52′ Banusic (N), 77′ Kramzar (C), 80′ Jelcic (N), 83′ Moretti (N)
Second league victory for Napoli that leaves the bottom of the table and prepares for a crucial survival pool to remain in the top flight.
A high-paced game between the home team Napoli and Como, with chances from both sides. To make better use of them, the Larian team took the lead at the 44th minute with a goal by Kramzar. A cross from the left by Petzelberger for the well-timed run of the 2006-born player, who punished the Parthenopean defense with a right-footed volley.
The second half started all blue. In the 49th minute, a long ball from the midfield by Lundorf into the box for Muth. A decisive exit by Gilardi who momentarily intercepted it, but the goal was left unguarded, allowing Sliskovic to score.
Three minutes later, it was time for

In Rome, the first Panini album dedicated to the Women’s Serie A was presented. A giant step forward for women’s football in Italy.
In Rome, history is being made. Today, February 6, 2025, the first Calciatori Panini album completely dedicated to the Women’s Serie A was presented.
The Calciatori album by the Modena-based company is part of Italian history and culture. The first official edition dates back to the 1961/62 season and has been a fixed appointment for fans, children, and more ever since.

Panini Album, FIGC Press Release
Every female footballer’s dream has come true. From today, and for the first time, the Women’s Serie A has its own physical Panini album. And that ‘I have it, I have it, missing’ phrase, the cult phrase of every sticker collector, will also apply to the stars of ‘Calciatrici 2024-2025’, presented this morning at the Aleph Rome Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton in Rome.
An exceptional audience for a historic day: from the FIGC President Gabriele Gravina, recently re-elected for the 2025-28 quadrennium, to the President of the Women’s Professional Serie A Division Federica Cappelletti and the Panini Italy market director Alex Bertani. Also present, among others, the head coach of the Women’s National Team Andrea Soncin, the head of the men’s National Team Gianluigi Buffon, the head of the women’s National Team Chiara Marchitelli and Renzo Ulivieri, President of AIAC, in addition to the female footballers featured in the first historic album, one from each team.
The album consists of 322 stickers to be collected in 48 pages with the cover representing the ten teams with a representative female player for each club: Manuela Giugliano (Roma, the only Italian candidate for the Ballon d’Or), Cristiana Girelli (Juventus), Vero Boquete (Fiorentina), Michela Cambiaghi (Inter), Nadia Nadim (Milan), Eleonora Goldoni (Lazio), Benedetta Orsi (Sassuolo), Eli Del Estal (Como Women), Paola Di Marino (Napoli Femminile) and Cecilia Re (Sampdoria).
“It’s a beautiful day for the entire Italian football movement because it positions women’s football in a different and better perception than just 6 years ago. I thank the Division with President Cappelletti and Panini for believing in this project – says FIGC President Gabriele Gravina – .
Recognizability is a key element for the growth and expansion of any sector, especially when aiming for new reference models. The Federation is investing a lot in this sector (professionalism, increasing female members, autonomy process towards an independent League, etc…), but these investments must go hand in hand with increased visibility, and the agreement with Panini goes in this direction. After all, recognizability is a key element for the growth and expansion of any sector, especially when aiming for new reference models”.
“After 64 editions of the men’s album, finally having the album dedicated to female footballers is a great emotion – the words of the President of the Women’s Professional Serie A Division, Federica Cappelletti – . This is proof that women’s football is growing a lot and becoming increasingly important: for all female footballers but also for collectors, this is an epochal turning point. We are making history and this fills us with pride: I believed in it from the start and I am happy to have reached this milestone thanks to Panini and thanks to the staff of the Women’s Serie A Division”.
And it was precisely Presidents Gravina and Cappelletti, the latter the wife of one of the most famous footballers in Italian football history depicted in the Panini Calciatori album, Paolo Rossi, who symbolically pasted the first sticker in the history of the ‘Calciatrici’ Panini collection during the presentation.
“A first historic collection. We are very proud to present today the first physical album dedicated to the Women’s Serie A, the result of great teamwork between all the parties involved – said Alex Bertani, Director of the Panini Italy market – . An important collection that marks a historic milestone for us at Panini and for the entire women’s movement. From today, collectors and young female footballers will be able to live the dream of flipping through a dedicated album”.
Just like the Panini Calciatori 2024-2025 album, this one is also in perfect binding version. Additionally, the album contains pages dedicated to Serie B and the National Team, which will play in the final phase of the European Championship in Switzerland next July.
On the occasion of the 18th matchday of the Women’s Serie A on Sunday, February 9, 2025, and the semifinals of the Women’s Italian Cup, Panini Calciatrici 2024-2025 will be promoted on all fields. The album will be distributed for free to the public in the stadiums hosting the matches, in addition to the entrance on the field with the album by all the girls accompanying the female footballers. The captains will also exchange maxi stickers with their respective logos before the start of the matches.
