Sassuolo beat Verona to boost chances of playing in Europa League next season
Serie A is considered to be one of the best leagues across the globe. The League has a massive following from fans globally. The League is, in most instances, depicted as the most tactical and defensively sound League, according to data collected recently. It is ranked third among the European Leagues, all thanks to the UEFA's coefficient.
Some of the most elite players such as Kaka, Ibrahimovic, Christiano Ronaldo, and many more have played in the League hence the reason it is considered one of the best. Juventus have been a dominant force over the years, but the 2020/2021 season seems to be taking a different twist.
Ever since Antonio Conte took charge of Inter and signed Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez's likes, his well-organized defence and counter-attacking football have propelled them to the top of the table leading by 65 points after just 27 games. Second-placed, AC Milan is second on 59 points, having played one game more than Inter.
