Serie A is back after the first international break of the season, which followed a start full of surprises and early upsets. Now it's time to reflect on the first weekend of action in October. Inter and Lazio are at the top of the Serie A standings, while Napoli finally delivered a solid performance on Saturday.
AC Milan are still struggling and drew 1-1 away against Sassuolo before Cagliari's home draw against Juventus. Now, time for some hot takes. Don't miss all the Serie A action all season long across Paramount+, CBS Sports Network and CBS Sports Golazo Network.
From Italy's biggest teams to America's biggest stars Serie A has it all, and Paramount+ is the home for every minute of the action until a Scudetto winner is crowned. Ruben Amorim's AC Milan have yet to deliver as expected. The Rossoneri drew 1-1 at Sassuolo on Sunday, still showing some of the same issues they had in past seasons under different coaches.
Amorim will have limited time to reach his targets as there will be more pressure on him in the coming weeks if AC Milan don't deliver the expected results. Goncalo Ramos, the club's most expensive signing in history, has scored just once in six Serie A appearances so far, while American forward Christian Pulisic has yet to hit top form. AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale was at Sassuolo on Sunday, and according to La Gazzetta dello Sport he will be back in Milan next weekend for the game against Atalanta on Sunday, Oct. 18, when AC Milan will be called to react after a disappointing away draw.

Lazio are at the top of the Serie A table after six matches thanks to an incredible start to the new campaign. Coached by former Italy national team coach Gennaro Gattuso, the Biancocelesti won 3-1 against Monza over the weekend, putting in another impressive performance.
Despite a fan boycott at the Stadio Olimpico over tensions with the ownership, Lazio are playing some exciting soccer under Gattuso. The summer signings such as Davide Frattesi and Andrea Pinamonti are performing well and delivering goals and assists, even after the season opened with a disappointing Coppa Italia exit against Mantova. Since then, things have drastically changed.
