Serie A Power Rankings: Roma Challenge Inter as Milan Resurge

The 2026-27 Serie A season is in full swing, and after five matchdays, the power rankings reveal a familiar name at the summit: Inter. The Nerazzurri, reigning champions, showcased their resilience with a thrilling 2-2 draw at Roma, coming from two goals down to salvage a point. Lautaro Martinez's brace underlined their never-say-die attitude, and they remain the team to beat.

However, Roma are proving to be worthy challengers. Under Gian Piero Gasperini, the Giallorossi have started brightly, and their performance against Inter—racing to a two-goal lead inside 45 minutes—sent a statement. With attacking flair and tactical discipline, Roma look capable of ending their long wait for a Scudetto. They sit level on points with Inter, setting up a tantalizing title race.

AC Milan are back in the top three after a convincing 3-0 win over Lecce. Christian Pulisic, back from a minor injury suffered at the 2026 World Cup, scored the opener and looked sharp. New coach Ruben Amorim is gradually imposing his style, and the Rossoneri's summer signings are beginning to gel. Milan's resurgence adds another layer of intrigue to the Scudetto battle.

Elsewhere, Lazio are the surprise package, sitting joint-top despite a turbulent summer. Napoli's poor start under Massimiliano Allegri has raised eyebrows, while Juventus and Atalanta are still finding their rhythm. With the international break offering a moment to reflect, the Serie A season promises to be a thrilling ride.
