Two clubs. 476 games, 277 wins, 58%. Croatian second division title, Serie A title, Italian Cup. Three trophies in 11 years. Would have taken your hand off for that when the monthly gate money was €83.

Campioni d'Italia. Four years at Cibalia, seven here. 476 games. I learned Croatian to take a job nobody else wanted. That was eleven years ago.

Milinkovic-Savic sent off on 34. Held them with ten men through the rest of normal time, took it to extra time at 1-1 on aggregate. Genuinely believed. Then: 90+2, 92, 105, 110, 112. 5-0. 5-1 on aggregate. 33 shots to our 10. 18 on target to our zero. Staff have filed it as "a very worrying performance", which is certainly one way of putting it.

Board expectation for the Italian Cup: "reach the semi final (minimum)". Lazio 1-0. Inter 5-3. Milan away 2-1. Milan again at home 2-1. Napoli 3-1 in the final. 33,565 a week, 91% of the ground full. Minimum achieved.

Three things I'm keeping from this season. Havertz put Paris two up inside 17 at their place. De Jong got both back, Lucca won it on 80. 3-2 away in the Champions Cup. Pisa 9-0. Papetti, still a centre back, got three of them. And Mangala from 30 yards against Venezia, which the game has decided is our goal of the season and which I have now watched an unreasonable number of times.

Two down inside 20 at Atalanta. Won 4-2. Lucca hat-trick from the 57th minute onwards and a 9.6, Cipot got the fourth on 89. Staff report says we "did not perform" because our xG was 1.88 to their 2.21. Sorry, shall I hand the three points back

Hlozek equalised on 86 and for about seven minutes I genuinely believed we were knocking Zebre out. Lost 5-3 in extra time. Lucca got two, 18 and 41, finished on 8.8. Vlahovic two including the penalty. Then two more in extra time once we had nothing left in the legs. 28 shots to our 22, against the best team in Italy, 120 minutes. I told them all that afterwards. Did not touch the sides. What do you actually say after one like that

5th. 9th in October. 4th from January. 4th with ten to play. Finished 5th. I have opened the league positions graph an unhealthy number of times this week.

Derby. Two down inside 16 minutes, penalty conceded, sat there watching the season walk out. Won 5-2. Arribas 22 and 41, both from Hansen-Aaroen. Moro 65 and 87. Schmidt in added time. Arribas also missed a penalty on 83 and still finished on 9.4. 19 shots to 5. xG 3.90 to 1.07. Genoa had two shots on target all afternoon and scored both of them, because obviously.

Milan 0-4. At the San Siro. Arribas 39, Papetti 43, Moro in first half stoppage time, Papetti again 51. Four goals in twelve minutes either side of the break. Papetti is a centre back. He got two of them and a 9.1. Rodrygo went off on 42 for a second yellow and Milan finished on 23 fouls, so I think they enjoyed the second half about as much as I did.
