Serie A Power Rankings: Inter Eye Title Defense, AC Milan Struggles
Developing
Let's take a look at our power rankings after the second weekend of action: The 2025-2026 title holders won away against Cagliari but had to face the first real challenge of the season. Cristian Chivu's team delivered a strong performance in attack with 26 shots, but only scored one goal with Hakan Calhanoglu and in the end they were lucky as Cagliari could have scored in the final minutes.
By far, the best team of the opening two weekends of Serie A soccer. AC Milan , their cross-city rivals, made some key signings in the summer after replacing the coach and the whole club hierarchy after the disappointing end to the last campaign, and they appointed former Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim to lead the new cycle.
Six teams replaced their coaches, including Napoli , which saw Antonio Conte leave the Azzurri after two seasons and appointed former AC Milan and Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri. The 2026-2027 Serie A season kicked off last weekend in Italy, with Inter , the 2025-2026 Scudetto winners, looking to defend the title in the new season.
Goncalo Ramos has scored his first goal at San Siro while Rafael Leao offically left the Rossoneri over the weekend as he joined Galatasaray. The expected struggles of Ruben Amorim at his first season at AC Milan were also evident against Venezia in their second win of the season.
Donny Malen scored two more goals, and he's already at five goals scored in two matches. The second 4-0 in less than a week after the opening match won 4-0 against Fiorentina.
AS Roma delivered again with their first away win of the season at Lecce. It looks like AS Roma can be a title contender finally.
