Milan's hopes of qualifying for the 2025/26 Champions League remain slim after all the action across Serie A this weekend, but the Rossoneri will do themselves no harm at all by picking up a win tonight when they clash with bottom-half side Genoa.After getting back to winning ways last time out against Venezia, Sergio Conceição's men will feel confident coming into their meeting against Patrick Vieira's Grifone side that are winless in their last three (0-1-2).
Here is how both sides will look this evening on the Stadio Luigi Ferraris pitch.
GENOA (4-2-3-1): Leali; Sabelli, Vásquez, De Winter, Martín; Frendrup, Masini; Messias, Thorsby, Norton-Cuffy; Pinamonti.
AC MILAN (3-5-2): Maignan; Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlović; Jiménez, Reijnders, Fofana, Loftus-Cheek, Hernández; Pulisic, Jović.
Will Milan have enough in the tank to head back home with all three points or will Genoa pile on more misery across what has been a frustrating season for the Italian giants?

NBA at 'least a couple years away from launching' NBA Europe league, Adam Silver says
OKLAHOMA CITY — In March, the NBA and international basketball governing body FIBA announced a joint 'exploration of a new professional men's basketball league in Europe.' That's still moving forward, just don't expect it to happen quickly, Adam Silver told reporters at an NBA Cares event at a refurbished Boys & Girls Club in Oklahoma City on Friday, via Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press. 'I will say it's measured in years, not months,' Silver said. 'So, we're at least a couple years away from launching. It would be an enormous undertaking. And while we want to move forward at a deliberate pace, we also want to make sure that we're consulting with all the appropriate stakeholders, meaning the existing league, its teams, European players, media companies, marketing partners. There's a lot of work to be done.' Silver told reporters that the NBA is in talks with the existing EuroLeague (the basketball equivalent of the soccer Champions League, featuring the top clubs on the continent) about a partnership at some level. However, what that might look like (or if it would even work) is up for debate. The NBA's initial target was a 16-team league, something Silver previously said would be 'integrated into the current European basketball landscape,' which means teams would continue competing in their respective national leagues. There would be permanent members in the NBA Europe league (existing clubs and possibly some new ones) as well as a chance for teams to be promoted into it each year. Speaking at the NBA Paris games in January, Silver said the goal was to 'professionalize the game to another level here, to create a larger commercial opportunity' — to make more money, both for European teams, but also to expand the NBA brand (and with that make the American owners more money). Silver discussed the European league in terms of NBA expansion when speaking with the media before Game 1 of the Finals. 'We have been discussing potentially creating a league in Europe. I view that as a form of expansion as well,' Silver said. 'Again, just as the same as in American cities, we think there's an opportunity to serve fans in Europe. No knock on European basketball, because most of those international MVPs I just talked about are coming from Europe. There's really high-level basketball being played there. But we think there is an opportunity to better serve fans there. I view that as a form of expansion as well, and that's something we're also thinking hard about.' There are numerous stakeholders, and a lot of mouths to feed; putting together this new league is a massive challenge. The NBA owners will discuss next steps when they meet in July, Silver said. Whatever those next steps are, this is a process that will take years, not months.

Fabulous Paolini-Errani: Italian women tennis players conquer Roland Garros
Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini conquered Roland Garros. The two Italian tennis players imposed themselves on the Serbian-Kazakhstan pair of Aleksandra Krunic and Anna Danilina at the end of a multi-faceted match: after an initial, 6-4 in favour of the Italians, the second set ended 2-6 in favour of the opponents. In the third set, however, there was no mistaking who was in charge. The Italian Olympians hit two consecutive breaks and always held serve, taking a 5-0 lead. The match therefore ended with a score of 6-1, which gave the crown to the Italian pair. It was the second consecutive title for Errani-Paolini after the one they had just won at the Internazionali in Rome. And it is a rematch on French soil, after last year's final defeat against Katerina Siniakova and Coco Gauff. The Italian tennis player's total haul thus rises to seven titles, including the Olympic gold medal (also in Paris) in 2024. Four in particular triumphed in WTA 1000 tournaments. Related Tennis: Jasmine Paolini and Sara Errani triumph at Internazionali d'Italia women's doubles Sara Errani reached 34 titles in doubles; Paolini eight. Together with Roberta Vinci, she had already won Roland Garros in 2012, the US Open in the same year, the Australian Open in 2013-2014 and Wimbledon in 2014. For the Bolognese tennis player, this year's is therefore the sixth Slam in doubles, while for Jasmine Paolini who also took home the mixed doubles title together with Andrea Vavassori, it is the first one.

Why Gian Piero Gasperini is a transformational appointment for Roma
Gian Piero Gasperini's appointment at Roma is nothing short of a coup. Gasperini's record at Atalanta stands as one of the most remarkable managerial achievements in modern Italian football — a transformation that has elevated the club from relegation battlers to European contenders and, eventually, European champions. Advertisement When Gasperini took over Atalanta on 14 June 2016, the club's objectives were modest – survive in Serie A and avoid relegation to Serie B. His reign, however, ignited an extraordinary era. The beginning was rocky – five games in, Atalanta were second from bottom after a home defeat to Palermo, and Gasperini was on the brink of dismissal. Instead, the club held firm. What followed was a meteoric rise – victories over Italian giants Inter, Roma, and Napoli helped Atalanta finish the 2016–17 season in fourth place, qualifying for the UEFA Europa League and signaling the beginning of a footballing revolution in Bergamo. Under Gasperini, Atalanta not only qualified for Europe regularly but became a respected force across the continent. In just his second season, they topped their Europa League group unbeaten, and in 2018–19, Gasperini led the club to a third-place Serie A finish – their best ever at the time and qualification for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in the club's history. Advertisement Atalanta reached the Champions League quarter-finals in their debut campaign, defeating Valencia with an exhilarating 8–4 aggregate win, before narrowly losing to Paris Saint-Germain. Despite the devastating COVID-19 pandemic that severely impacted Bergamo, the club finished third in Serie A again in 2020, scoring a record-breaking 98 goals — the highest tally by an Italian team in over six decades. With three players (Iličić, Muriel, Zapata) scoring over 15 league goals, Gasperini's side became the first since 1951–52 Juventus to achieve such a feat. Even after the mid-season departure of talismanic captain Papu Gómez in the 2020–21 campaign, Gasperini maintained Atalanta's momentum, guiding them to a third consecutive third-place finish and a second Coppa Italia final in three years. Though silverware continued to elude them, the team's identity – high-intensity attacking football, tactical fluidity, and fearless pressing remained at the forefront of his Atalanta sides to follow. Advertisement After a brief setback in 2021–22, when Atalanta missed out on European qualification for the first time under his leadership, Gasperini recalibrated. The club returned to European competition the following season with a fifth-place Serie A finish and, in 2023–24, reached new historic heights. In the 2023–24 season, Gasperini led Atalanta to the semi-finals of both the Europa League and Coppa Italia. After a thrilling run that saw them eliminate Liverpool and Marseille, Atalanta reached their first-ever European final and Gasperini delivered. On 22 May 2024, they defeated Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen 3–0 in the Europa League final, claiming the first major trophy of his career and Atalanta's first European title. Advertisement This season, he continued upon that success by securing Champions League qualification yet again with a third-place finish – ahead of Juventus who finished below Atalanta in fourth-place – further cementing his status as one of Italy's elite tacticians. Therefore, if Roma manage to secure Gian Piero Gasperini as their next manager, they will be acquiring more than just a tactician; they will be gaining a visionary leader capable of instilling a long-term identity. His high-pressing, expansive attacking philosophy would offer a refreshing contrast to the more pragmatic approaches of recent Roma coaches. With the right backing, Gasperini could unlock the full potential of Roma's promising talents and guide the Giallorossi to sustained domestic and European relevance rather than the short bursts of momentum that they have experienced in recent times. Advertisement Furthermore, Gasperini's proven ability to elevate underdog squads and develop players — often transforming journeymen and youth into elite performers — aligns perfectly with Roma's ambitions of combining financial prudence with competitive excellence. In a league often that can- at times – be dominated by pragmatism, Gasperini's fearless and modern approach represents both a cultural and sporting shift. For Roma, appointing him would not just be a smart managerial hire – it would be a declaration of intent. Callum McFadden I GIFN
