Coppa Italia, Milan drops poker and flies to quarterfinals: Cagliari ko
Italian Cup: Milan-Cagliari 4-1
Milan starts 2024 on the right foot. In fact, the Rossoneri, despite the large turnover made by Stefano Pioli, won with a net 4-1 over Claudio Ranieri’s Cagliari, gaining access to the quarterfinals of the 2023-2024 Coppa Italia.
The first chance è for Cagliari on 4’: Petagna hit a header from a good position, but found a good response from Mirante, who deflected it into a corner. Four minutes later comes Milan’s first ringer with Jovic, who on an excellent pass from Adli, hits the ball too weakly.
On 29’ the Rossoneri manage to find the lead: Theo lets off a cross from the left for Jovic, who with control manages to evade the intervention of Hatzidiakos and from close range manages to beat the red-blù extreme defender. On 42’ comes the Rossoneri double again on the Theo-Jovic axis: the French flanker recovers the ball and goes all over the field at full speed and crosses low for the Serbian, who manages to seal his double thanks also to a faulty response by Radunovic.
In the second half, Milan immediately managed to find the third goal at 50’: Jimenez serves Chukwueze in the box,,, who fails to hit the ball and on the loose ball young Chaka Traoré è the mostù quickest to pounce and beat Radunovic, scoring his first goal with the first team.
At 87’ Cagliari managed to find the goal of the flag with Azzi, who from long distance managed to beat Mirante, thanks to a deflection by Simic. In the midst of the recovery, however, there’è joy also for Leao, who, after taking over from the bench and failing two good chances, manages to beat Radunovic for the fourth time with a precise right flat, sealing the final 4-1 and finding again a goal that had been missing since last November 7 (Mlan-PSG 2-1).
In the next round, Milan will face the winner of the match between Atalanta and Sassuolo, who will take the field on Wednesday, Jan. 3 at Gewiss Stadium. In the league, however, the Rossoneri, in the next round will face Empoli, while Cagliari will play away against Lecce.

Davis Cup, not just Jannik Sinner: Lorenzo Musetti is ready
The bronze medal at the Olympics and the semifinals at Wimbledon have charged her up
This is it. Italy è is ready to start on the road to another possible dream, which is to win the Davis Cup again. The first obstacle è represented by the hostile Argentina (absolutely not to be underestimated). The Azzurri are betting, of course, on world No. 1 Sinner but there’è great confidence also in Musetti who arrived in Malaga in great form.
The blue number 2 è has been the protagonist of a heavenly season. The bronze at the Olympics and the semifinals at Wimbledon have charged him up. Now he è ready to be an absolute protagonist in the Davis Cup: “I arrive with a different maturity at all levels”, his clear words to Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I’m ready to take more responsibility and have a more central, more important part than 12 months ago. There will be a lot of excitement, a lot of adrenaline, and I have a lot of desire to experience the competition”, the commentary of Musetti himself, who arrived in Malaga in excellent physical condition, having had some time to rest after Paris-Bercy.
Clearly, with such a motivated Musetti, è much can be expected from Italy. Sinner è an absolute guarantee but, to make it all the way, the help of all the members of the blue team led by captain Volandri is needed. There’s a strong desire to accomplish another feat and return to celebrate, all together.

NBA, Milwaukee snaps up Giannis Antetokounmpo
Well Golden State, black crisis for Philadelphia
So many contests in the NBA night. With its back against the wall, Milwaukee finds the strength to fight back and take home a crucial victory in the match with Chicago (122-106 the final). Race dominated by Antetokounmpo who finished with an impressive 41 points on the scoreboard, including 25 in a surreal third period, with also eight assists and nine rebounds.
Thanks to this success, the Bucks record rises to six wins and nine losses. After losing the unbeaten streak to Boston, Cleveland returned to success: 128-100 over New Orleans. Excellent performance by Jerome (29 points). The record of the Cavs è the best in the NBA with 16 wins and only one loss (suffered, precisely, against the Celtics).
Most delicate moment for Philadelphia, which continues to sink. The 76ers also surrendered in Memphis (117-111 the final), collecting their 12th defeat of the season (only two wins). A strong showing by Embiid (35 points and 11 rebounds) wasn’t enough to bring a smile back to the interior of a team in total crisis.
As for the other games, OKC folds Portland (109-99) while Houston gets rid of Indiana (130-113) rather easily. New York wins the challenge with Phoenix (138-122) while Golden State prevails against Atlanta: 120-97 the final for the Warriors with 23 points by Curry.

GP Las Vegas, Carlos Sainz has hope for constructors’ title
Ferrari è currently second at -36 from McLaren
.
The Las Vegas GP takes the stage. A new opportunity, for Ferrari, to try to get even closer to McLaren, currently leader in the constructors’ standings with 593 points, 36 more than the Cavallino. The circuit would seem to favor the Rossa, although Sainz points out an important detail.
“Ferrari competitive? Looking at the track I would say sì, Ferrari should be competitive or at least should be able to fight but when we see that tire temperatures rise, then I would say no”, the clear words of Sainz reported by Marca.
The Cavallino driver knows that in order to take home the Constructors’ World Championship title, he needs “help” from McLaren: “I think we are close. But at the same time, we also need McLaren to make some mistakes, becauseé, if they don’t make any mistakes from here to the end, in case we have to win all the time and we and they come second in every race, I think McLaren will probably still be able to keep the title”.
Sainz, in addition to trying to win another GP before ending his adventure with the Cavallino, wants to try to help the team win the constructors world championship: “I would like to win the championship for Ferrari this year. And sì, I think it would be a great way to end the season”.
