Lorenzo Bettoni and Richard Hall return with a new episode of the Football Italia LIVE show to review the weekend action after Serie A Round 1.
The first round of the 2026-27 Serie A campaign is in the history books, with all the top clubs securing victories.

Earlier this weekend, Football Italia was among the accredited media for the opening game of the season, Inter-Monza, which we examined live from San Siro here.
Inter’s rivals all secured victories, although in different fashion. Napoli beat Genoa 2-0 away amid protests from the Grifone over Kevin De Bruyne’s opening goal.
Juventus secured a 1-0 win against Frosinone, but their victory was somewhat overshadowed by Luciano Spalletti’s claims about Randal Kolo Muani.

Italy starlet Alphadjo Cissè inspired Milan’s 2-1 win over Torino by scoring the opening goal at the Stadio Grande Torino, but there was more good news for the Italian national team with many other players on the scoresheet, including Antonio Vergara (Napoli), Giacomo Raspadori (Atalanta), Francesco Pio Esposito (Inter) and Davide Frattesi (Lazio).
Last but not least is Roma’s fantastic performance against Fiorentina, which led to a 4-0 win, with a hat-trick from Donyell Malen and three assists from Paulo Dybala.
