However, in the league, they have failed to win only against Milan at the start of the campaign. In the most recent round, they thrashed Sassuolo 6-2.
The Sardinian side finished fourteenth in the spring with 43 points. This season, they have surprised everyone with an energetic start packed with wins, despite already losing to their second opponent in the cup, Verona.
