In our final Serie A Chronicles "main show" of 2021, we go deep into discussion about the Winter Champions - Campioni d'Inverno - Inter, which is fast becoming Mina's favorite team.
We discuss the Salernitana ownership crisis and whether they will be booted from Serie A after the new year, with their situation compounded by a COVID-19 scare and match postponement amid the Omicron variant wave taking hold in Italy and Europe.
Is Juventus at risk of creeping in to the top 4 now that they're only four points away? And do they lose motivation against smaller teams?
We smash Milan and Napoli together because they played against each other and appear to have the highest chances of being the "anti-Inter" and... should Kessie's disallowed goal have stood?
Mourinho created a blueprint for stopping Gasperini's Atalanta in Roma's Tammy Abraham-inspired counter-attacking masterclass, and then threw it away against Sampdoria in a dull draw.
Maurizio Sarri is an enigma.
And we wrap up the show with the highlight of the year from the best Italian commentary duo: Fabio Caressa and Giuseppe Bergomi.

03:38 Inter
19:34 Salernitana
30:18 Juventus
42:56 Milan and Napoli
