Racism like corruption continues to weigh down Serie A, preventing it from reaching the pinnacle of world football like it did in the 90s
When football fans today discuss Serie A; they often reminisce about its golden period in the 90s. Today Italy's top-flight is more often than not seen as a retirement home for washed-up stars over the age of 30 wanting one last bite at the cherry of top-class football.
Adding to Serie A's woes is how the current generation of fans who did not grow up in the glorious era of the league tend to dismiss it as boring and too stylistically defensive.
