Maximum fairness and guaranteed spectacle: Serie A is preparing to experience the last two days of the championship under a new light. Or, better yet, under the same one. This was confirmed by Luigi De Siervo, CEO of Lega Serie A, who announced the intention to have all the decisive matches played at the same time, so as not to give advantages to those who take the field already knowing the results of their direct opponents.
"The issue has been addressed by the board of directors, and we're moving toward a very broad simultaneous approach ," he stated, " to put all the teams vying for the objectives on the same level." This move comes amidst a tense final stretch of the season, with the Scudetto still up in the air, the Champions League spot contested to the last gasp, and the relegation battle more uncertain than ever.
"It's a great championship ," De Siervo emphasized. " Different teams have been winning for years, and this year everything is still up in the air. It's a sign of vitality, which is also reflected in Europe." Speaking of Europe, De Siervo then proudly recalled Inter's run in the Champions League, only to be eliminated in the final after also overcoming Barcelona, the newly crowned Spanish champions.
"This shows that ours is a top-level, competitive, and high-quality football." Finally, a word on the Coppa Italia final , which will see Milan face Bologna: "It will be a celebration, the stadium will be packed, and we're working to offer a great event, both technically and commercially. We'll introduce new cameras and focus heavily on statistics. We want a total experience, on and off the pitch."

It's interesting to see how the Serie A league is trying to make things more equitable. I hope this new initiative can lead to a more exciting end to the season, without favoritism between teams.
I don't know if it's right to play all the games together, sometimes it can be better for some teams to play earlier to have more clarity on the opponents. but we'll see how it goes.
