Ep. 3.23 - The Frustrating Draws Episode

Season 3, Ep. 23

After the highs of last week, it is not quite service as normal, as neither Fiorentina or Venezia lost, but it's fair to say we hoped for more against Empoli and Modena. Elsewhere, another Juve slip has surely handed Inter the league, and the race for the Champions League spots gets ever more exciting.
