Everything as per script. No twist at the Stadium, where Juventus defeated Milan with a clear 3-1 thanks to goals from Tevez, Bonucci and Morata. Heavy success that of the Allegri gang, momentarily +10 on Roma, a predictable defeat and, all in all, logical for Inzaghi's Rossoneri, who, blazon aside, have to look for points in other matches. However, it must be said that Milan played it out and that, despite the result, they can certainly draw some positive indications: if they had always taken the field with this mentality, the standings would be very different. In the end, however, the points count and Juventus have 53, 10 more than Roma (on stage today in Cagliari) and 24 more than Milan. Mind-boggling numbers, to suggest a championship now closed and without history. “It's not like that, there are still too many games left – replied Massimiliano Allegri. – Of course beating Milan was also important on a psychological level, the boys and I can get a lot of satisfaction this year”.
Opposite morale at the AC Milan home, for which even the Europa League risks becoming unreachable, unless there is a decisive swerve starting from the next matches. “But I'm satisfied, for a good part of the match we played on an equal footing with Juve – the thought of Filippo Inzaghi. – We had a lot of absentees, despite this the boys were good, we even had the ball to draw 2-2 with Pazzini.
Performances like this make morale in view of the next commitments ". Who will be at San Siro against Empoli and Cesena and who have all the air of being real watersheds of the season, in one sense or another. To score points at the Stadium, a perfect game would have been needed, one without mistakes or flaws. Instead Milan, despite a courageous attitude (high team and pressure on the black and white ball carriers), already made a mistake in the 15th minute when Zaccardo, last man, lost Tevez (his regular position): the Apache flew away and beat Diego Lopez for the 1-0. It looks like the beginning of a goal, but Inzaghi's team doesn't give up and in the 28th minute they equalize with Antonelli, who is very good at heading off as if he were Dustin's father. Goal from a corner kick, a rarity around Milanello: could that be the turning point? The doubt lingers for only three minutes, then Bonucci takes care of restoring the distance right on a corner, the Rossoneri's Achilles heel (with this there are 9 goals collected like this).
Juve have another step and every time they sink they give the idea of being able to strike, Milan however have the merit of not losing the thread and the match remains in balance. A few excessive affectations anger Allegri and at the start of the second half it is clear why: Antonelli steals the ball from Marchisio and throws Pazzini, the forward, who came on for the affected Menez, forces Buffon to make a beautiful and, perhaps, decisive save. Indeed, a few minutes later (65 ') Juve closes it with Morata, lucid in capitalizing on the rejection of the post on Marchisio's shot against Lopez beaten. The match actually ended there, even if the Rossoneri goalkeeper prevented the result from becoming humiliating with several interventions. “We were a bit superficial – admonished Allegri. – We need to be more careful, you can't take risks like this in the restarts ". The Juve coach turns up his nose, the Milan coach goes home satisfied: football paradoxes, yet the rankings can also be explained in this way. The Bianconeri's mentality is in fact aimed at perfection, in view of a tricky eighth of the Champions League (yesterday Borussia Dortmund won 3-0) but affordable (Klopp's team remains in the relegation zone), the Rossoneri's however is still to be build. And this, in late February, is not a good thing.
