Here is the Italy Serie Week 21 Roundup valid for Matchday 21  on Tuesday January 31, Wednesday February 1, and Thursday February 2, 2012. . An uncompleted matchday with 4 games postponed by the Lega Serie A for the bad weather, including heavy snow:  Parma v Juventus, Bologna v Fiorentina, AC Siena v Catania, and Atalanta v Genoa.   New dates to be announced later by the Lega Serie A.

Highlight on Matchday 21 would be be the super game Inter 4 - 4 Palermo.  Why?  Well, hello, hello, hello, Inter forward Diego Milto scoring four goals in this game, yep, a poker.  It's Milito's first time in his career scoring 4 goals in one game.  Sharing the spot is Palermo forward Fabrizio Miccoli scoring a hat-trick, three goals in this game!  Practically Milito v Miccoli and both saying, "Present" to their respective teams.

New Novara coach Emiliano Mondonico making his debut with a defeat at the Silvio Piola Stadium losing to Chievo Verona.  Highlight for Chievo forward Sergio Pellissier scoring his goal number 100 with Chievo!  Precisely, Pellissier opening the score in the 33rd minute.  Bravo.



A blow for the leadership.  AC Milan falling at the Olimpico di Roma defeated by Lazio.  Milan wasting precious time to be neck to neck with Juventus.  Assuming Juventus win the postponed game with Parma, then the different will be 4 points instead of the current "one point."  Napoli not passing the test and remained with a goalless draw against Cesena.  Napoli are risking remaining in the top 3 positions to qualify for the Champions League next season.  The gap with Udinese, currently holding the third position is now of 11 points!!
 
Absolute leaders remaining Juventus with 44 points with a positive goal difference of +20.  AC Milan losing at the Olimpico still keep the second position with 43 points and a positive goal difference of +24.  Another defeat for Milan and provided that Juventus win their pending game with Parma, then, the Scudetto might have written the name "Juventus."  Udinese are also closely to Milan with only 2 points difference having 41 points and a positive goal difference of +14.

Cagliari stopping the Roman gladiators at the Sant'Elia and the debut by the ex Palermo forward Mauricio Pinilla with Cagliari scoring a goal.

Up to Round 21 most  scored goals:  AC Milan with 43 goals
Up to Round 21 worst defense: Novara conceding 42  goals.

Top scorer  up to Round 21 are Udinese forward Antonio Di Natale and AC Milan forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic with 15 goals each.
