The second weekend of Serie A soccer is in the books and before focusing and what we can expect in the upcoming weekend, with a key game at San Siro between Inter and Napoli, let's reflect on the biggest shocks of the second matchday. Fiorentina lost again and it's by far the biggest disappointment of the opening two games, while AC Milan, Juventus and Inter all won again and are at the top of the standings. At the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Naples the team led by Massimiliano Allegri lost to Como.
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.
To be fair, it's not a big surprise, but Como are a serious threat for the teams aiming to win the Scudetto this season. The only doubt is about the fact they will also play Champions League soccer, and in the long run it will be challenging to perform both domestically and around Europe. But the performance they delivered against Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona over the weekend was remarkable.
While Nico Paz is still searching for his best form, players like Tasos Douvikas and Martin Baturina are already stepping up with goals and top-tier performances even against a side like Napoli. Cesc Fabregas and his Como team are definitely one to watch.

The Viola celebrated their centenary on Saturday but failed to keep up the hopes of the fans. After losing 4-0 in the opening game of the season against AS Roma away, Fiorentina lost 3-0 to Frosinone at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in Florence. Despite multiple signings over the summer and the new coach Fabio Grosso taking over, it looks like the project is still in its early stages and struggled to kick off.
Despite some promising moments from Real Madrid loanee Franco Mastantuono, Fiorentina looked far from convincing and in sports there is not really time to wait. The next games will already be crucial for the future of Grosso.
