Pablo Mari returned to action for Monza on Thursday night, just two months after being stabbed during an attack in a Milan supermarket. Mari, who joined Monza on a season-long loan from Arsenal in the summer, was one of six people stabbed at a shopping center in the Italian capital back in October. Following the attack, the Spaniard was admitted to the hospital, where he was told he was 'luck' to avoid life-threatening injuries when he underwent surgery.

Napoli continued their good start to the season by beating Torino 3-1 on Saturday, while Atalanta remained level on points after edging Fiorentina 1-0. Roma also won when they came from behind to beat Inter Milan, while Juventus and defending champions AC Milan returned to winning ways after losing before the international break. Alvise Cagnazzo of Sportsmail takes a look at ten things we learned from this weekend's participation in Serie A.

ALVISE CAGNAZZO IN ITALY: What have we learned this week from the first game week of Serie A? The first step in a long marathon season, which will be postponed for 52 days this winter due to the World Cup in Qatar, was sufficient to help us understand the top division's complex dynamics and answer many of our questions. There was plenty to take away from the first 90 minutes of the campaign, including AC Milan's counting on Ante Rebic (inset), Romelu Lukaku (right) getting off the mark early, and Roma's Jose Mourinho (left) proving Roma's title credentials already.

ALVISE CAGNAZZO: Football has a passion in Monza thanks to Silvio Berlusconi and Adriano Galliani. The club's initiative has captivated thousands of followers and millions of curious observers from around Italy. Berlusconi has always wanted to do the impossible in sport and politics, and he was keen to return to football after being banned from AC Milan in 2017. Berlusconi and his former Milan chief executive Galliani decided to purchase the team during a lunch in Arcore, a Monza province suburb. They have increased the team's success since their purchase in 2018.
