In neighboring Italy, the 2023/24 season also concluded in the Primavera competition, where we witnessed a highly surprising outcome. In the grand final for the title, Roma and Sassuolo faced off. Although the Romans were the favorites, their opponent, which had been relegated from Serie A this season, achieved a surprising and notably high victory. The young Slovenian defender Lovro Golič, who entered the game only in the 80th minute, and his teammates had to congratulate the opponent for an excellently played match as Sassuolo triumphed with a score of 3:0.
After the regular season, Sassuolo was only fifth in the standings, trailing Inter by 13 points and Roma by 11 points. Nevertheless, they defeated both in the playoffs: first the Milanese, where Samo Matjaž plays, and then Roma, where Lovro Golič was one of the heroes of the semifinal victory over the city rival Lazio.
In the final at the Curva Fiesole stadium in Bagno a Ripoli, owned by Fiorentina, Sassuolo scored all three goals in the second half, effectively securing the victory within just 18 minutes. This marked the club from Emilia-Romagna‘s first title as Italian champions in youth competition.
