News about Lorenzo Colombo

A room full of reporters got off on the wrong foot with Manchester City's Erling Haaland, last weekend, after failing to say greet the star striker.  Haaland was attending to media duties at a pre-season press conference on Saturday, before City took on AC Milan in a friendly at the New York Yankee's stadium. But the conference got off to a stuttering start after Haaland walked into the room without so much as a 'hello'. 

Manchester City suffered their second straight preseason defeat on Saturday night as they fell 3-2 to AC Milan at Yankee Stadium. Erling Haaland opened the scoring for the reigning Premier League champions in the 19th minute, but Milan flipped the game on its head with two goals from 22-year-old Lorenzo Colombo within four minutes of each other. City, who played a youth-heavy lineup, lost control of the game and registered just three shots on target, though they were on their way to a draw when James McAtee equalized with a 56th minute header.

On Matchday 30 of Italy's biggest clubs, ALVISE CAGNAZZO: On Weekend 30 of the Serie A season, it was a frustrating weekend for some of Italy's top teams. Napoli, AC Milan, and Inter Milan were among those keeping an eye on the second leg of their Champions League quarter-finals this week, which may have resulted in points deferred. Rivals Roma and Lazio, on the other hand, lifted their hopes of Champions League qualification by 3-0 victories over Udinese and Spezia respectively. Alvise Cagnazzo of Mail Sport has dissected the weekend's events and taken a closer look at ten things we learned from the Italian top flight.

Serie A is finally back! There has been no top-flight action in Italy since November 13, with a long break for the World Cup and the festive season. Fortunately for those with Calcio withdrawal symptoms, the game is back in a big dollop on Wednesday, with a full slate of ten Serie A games distributed fairly throughout the day. ALVISE CAGNAZZO provides us with the state of play at all 20 of the clubs ahead of its return.

The 13th matchday of the Serie A season and the penultimate weekend of action before the World Cup break were full of anticipation. Lazio won the local bragging rights in the derby with Roma, Juventus dominated Inter Milan 2-0, and Napoli defeated Atalanta to keep their unbeaten streak going. ALVISE CAGNAZZO of Sportsmail is back with the main talking points from another packed weekend in Italy.

England defeated Italy thanks to Rhian Brewster's early brace as they continued their preparations for the U21s Euros. Brewster put the young Lions up for a commanding position early on as he followed up his 3rd minute penalty goal by netting from the centre of the box two minutes after midfielder Angel Gomes was brought into play. Before the break, Chelsea defender on-loan at Brighton Levi Colwill struck the post with a header. Italy fought back in the second half as they tried to find a way back into the match as Nicolo Fagioli, Lorenzo Colombo, and Caleb Okoli all tried to find the net. Cole Palmer of Manchester came close to winning, but Alessandro Plizzari saved his attempt in the 65th minute. Nico Rovella of Italy was dismissed in the closing stages after picking up his second yellow card for a bad foul on Jacob Ramsey of Aston Villa.

Lorenzo Colombo had a penalty saved but notted the equalizer as newly promoted Lecce dragged Napoli to a 1-1 draw. It was Napoli's second straight draw, after opening the season with two strong victories. Lecce, the Serie B champions, was on the verge of a surprise lead in the 25th minute after being rewarded a penalty for a foul by Tanguy Ndombele on Federico Di Francesco.
