Nicola Pozzi's early goal proved enough as incredible Empoli consolidate fourth place, but leave Roma 14 points adrift of leaders Inter.
Ronaldo bagged a brace in his first Milan start, but it took a heart-stopping finale to secure the points in this seven-goal thriller! Goran Pandev bagged a brace as Torino crashed to their fifth defeat on the trot against Lazio, 2-0. Substitute Luca Toni left it late to secure a precious away victory, as Catania ended the game in 10 men.

Lyon midfielder Juninho said Roma captain Francesco Totti will pose the biggest threat to his team in the first leg of the second round. "I have a lot of admiration for him,'' Juninho said. "(Totti) is the one who dictates the rhythm of his team. We'll need to be wary.''
Totti is one of three Roma players who played in Italy's World Cup victory over France. Simone Perrotta and Daniele De Rossi are the others. Eric Abidal, Florent Malouda, Gregory Coupet and Sidney Govou were on France's roster. Full Article
Moratti still worried about Roma

The Nerazzurri currently lead Serie A by 11 points and have dropped just six points all season as they bid to win their first Scudetto on the pitch since 1989. Most fans and pundits can't see beyond them for the title, yet Moratti believes that there is every chance that Roma could come back to steal the title. "We are doing very well and I am pleased," he said. "However, the season is far from over. Roma are keeping up the pace and continuing to win, so the situation hasn't changed. We must always be cautious and try our hardest to obtain the best result in every match."

Francesco Totti scored his 139th Serie A goal as Roma comfortably swept Parma aside. 3-0 the result.
Empoli have beaten Palermo in both their meetings this season and a Sergio Almiron goal proved enough in Sicily. The spoils were shared in a disappointing match between Atalanta e Lazio, which may well have been affected by the lack of a crowd.
Ronaldo made his Rossoneri debut and Gennaro Gattuso scored a rare goal as Milan continued their revival. Emergency work on San Siro saw 28 turnstiles installed overnight, bringing the stadium up to the standard where at least the 37,000 season ticket holders could be allowed in despite the drastic new security measures to view Ronaldo's debut. Milan were closing in on a Champions League spot and took on a Livorno side without a win in nine.
Milan v Roma 1-2

Ac Milan, Roma

The Rossoneri were without Massimo Ambrosini, Giuseppe Favalli, Kakha Kaladze and Gennaro Gattuso - out injured.
An Alessandro Nesta defensive error failed to effectively clear Christian Panucci's cross, so Taddei put it back into the centre for a spectacular Francesco Totti volley from six yards and jsut after 6 minutes.
A corner kick was cleared out as far as Brocchi, who unleashed a fearsome effort from 25 metres that beat Doni at the near post. 1-1 at the start of the second half.
It was chaotic end to end stuff in the closing stages and Roma were once again more clinical in front of goal. A fine team move, inspired by Aquilani's left-foot rabona - where you cross your legs and hit the ball with the back foot - was put into the centre by Mancini for Totti's header at the back post.
Roma's Scudetto hopes are still alive, and their last League win at San Siro was in 1987.
Milan: Dida; Simic, Nesta, Maldini, Jankulovski; Brocchi, Pirlo, Seedorf; Kakà; Ricardo Oliveira (Borriello 77), Gilardino (Inzaghi 64)
Roma: Doni; Panucci, Mexes (Ferrari 77), Chivu, Tonetto; De Rossi, Pizarro; Taddei, Perrotta (Aquilani 61), Mancini (Cassetti 87); Totti

Champion's League Review

Ac Milan, Inter, Roma

Luciano Spalletti was impressed with Roma’s performance in Valencia and insists they’re still in the running for qualification. “This was a wasted opportunity because I didn’t see Valencia play any better than we did and we failed to take our chances,” he said after the 2-1 defeat.
Inter's Champions League hopes are in tatters after Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Fabio Grosso were sent off in a 2-0 home defeat to Bayern Munich.
“I think the game changed after we went down to 10 men. We had planned to take no risks in the first half and then push after the break, but unfortunately there was this dismissal and a mistake on the opening goal,” Mancini said of the 2-0 home loss.
Kaka, Alberto Gilardino and Clarence Seedorf had the best chances, but Milan were held to their second consecutive goalless draw - held by French side Lille. Following their 0-0 at Livorno on Saturday, they again fail to hit the back of the net.
"We had scored a goal and it looked valid to me,” Ancelotti said after Milan’s 0-0 draw in France - he was angry that a Clarence Seedorf goal was incorrectly disallowed.
