Italy – Matchday 38 – Roma rule out Juve, Napoli wins against Lazio … What to remember from the other matches of the evening in Serie A

Italy – 38th day

Juventus still beaten, Ciro Immobile in history, Imperial Milan … FF recaps most of the other meetings of the Serie A multiplex.

Juventus worried

Admittedly, Juventus, already champion, had nothing more to play. Admittedly, Maurizio Sarri had decided to align the B team, with three young shoots (Frabotta, Muratore, Zanimacchia). Certainly, Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala observed their comrades from the stands. But no, this home defeat against Roma (1-3) does not inspire anything positive about the Old Lady. Six days before the knockout stages of the Champions League against Lyon, Sarri’s men have chained a second consecutive defeat, after that conceded to Cagliari (2-0). Worse, the Bianconeri have not created anything, have even stammered their football, despite an advantage taken very early thanks to Gonzalo Higuain (1-0, 5th) on a pass from Adrien Rabiot. As feared this week by the Italian press, the defense, embodied by the framework Leonardo Bonucci, has completely pulled out. Nikola Kalinic, left too alone at the penalty spot (1-1, 23rd), allowed the Romans to return to the match. Then Danilo “defended” and conceded a penalty, for the first of two goals from Diego Perotti (1-2, 44th). Perfectly served by Nicolo Zaniolo, the Argentine closed the demonstration of a heavy strike full center (1-3, 52nd). Dominated, uninspired, the Turinese are officially champions for one point only … and give hope to OL.
