    Rivals: Fiorentina v Juventus
    Nov 21 2025
    From 1928 when Juventus beat Fiorentina 11-0 to today's clashes. How has this rivalry evolved throughout the years? We talked to Giancarlo Rinaldi and his memories from famous matches involving la Viola and the Bianconeri from the 1981-82 controversial season finale to Giuseppe Rossi's hat-trick, through the 1990 Uefa Cup Final, the painful Roberto Baggio's move to Turin and even Mohamed Salah's brace, Alessandro Del Piero and Andrea Pirlo's artworks.
    Hosted and produced by Federico Farcomeni.

  • Verona Campione: The Miracle of 85

    Verona Campione: The Miracle of 85
    May 28 2025
    Richard Hough takes us through his book about that extraordinary season which saw Hellas Verona conquer the league title for the first time in their history. Mind you, the Gialloblu had been on the losing side of two cup finals before embarking on this historical season under the stewardship of Osvaldo Bagnoli, inspired by the talents of Preben Elkjaer Larsen (and his shoeless goal against Juventus) and the former German pentathlete Hans-Peter Briegel. Platini, Maradona, Rummenigge, Zico, Laudrup, Souness, Hateley and Wilkins were among the international stars drawn to the peninsula that season, making Serie A the most competitive and prestigious league in the world.
