Astori died in his sleep in a hotel room on this day in 2018, aged just 31, when Milan coach Stefano Pioli was in charge at Fiorentina. The former defender came through the youth ranks at Milan and was applauded by the more than 40,000 fans at the Stadio Artemio Franchi when play was stopped in the 13th minute in honour of his old shirt number.Defeat for Milan will be a relief to Atalanta, whose bid for Champions League football took another hit on Saturday after a drab goalless draw with Udinese.

Rafael Toloi went closest for the hosts, his dipping strike in the final minute brilliantly tipped away by Marco Silvestri.Udinese have won just once since early October and sit ninth, level on 32 points with Monza who beat Empoli 2-1 in Saturday’s early match.SERIE ARound 25FridayNapoli – Lazio 0-1 (0-0)/Vecino 67/SaturdayMonza – Empoli 2-1 (1-0)/Ciurria 19, Izzo 67 – Satriano 51/Atalanta – Udinese 0-0Fiorentina – Milan 2-1 (0-0)/Gonzalez 49 pen, Jovic 87 – Hernandez 90+4/Sunday14:30: (2.90) Spezia (2.90) Verona (2.75)17:00: (2.25) Sampdoria (3.25) Salernitana (3.35)20:00: (1.37) Inter (4.70) Lecce (9.00)22:45: (2.70) Roma (2.95) Juventus (2.90)Monday20:30: (1.80) Sassuolo (3.50) Cremonese (4.70)22:45: (2.40) Torino (3.10) Bologna (3.20)***odds are subject to change***
