In all the excitement of the weekend, you might have missed some episodes, not only in Serie A: let's catch up on them together!
The Croatian title race
The Croatian championship was decided only on the last day, remaining suspended between three teams until the last breath, so much so that the president of the Football Federation had to wait for the verdicts on the highway, to know if the trophy would go to Zagreb, Split, or Rijeka.
In the end, the trophy was delivered to Rijeka, outsmarting Fabio Cannavaro's Dinamo Zagreb and Gennaro Gattuso's Hajduk Split: for the Istrian team, it's their first title in eight years, breaking Dinamo Zagreb's dominance.
Modrić's tears
In Madrid, Luka Modrić played his last match with the Real Madrid jersey. A story that began in 2012 and lasted 13 seasons, with 4 La Liga titles and 6 Champions Leagues among the vast collection of trophies lifted by the Croatian in the Merengue shirt.
So, before the last of the 591 matches played in white, Modrić couldn't hold back his emotions, crying continuously as the team bus took him to the Bernabéu for the last time.
Maldini's jersey... not allowed?
At San Siro, it wasn't just the protest of Milan fans who left their seats during the match against Monza. A fan sang a chant dedicated to Paolo Maldini, waving a jersey with the number 3 of the historic Rossoneri flag.
According to DAZN, the fan was escorted out of the stadium, only to be brought back to his seat later.
