CHAMPIONSHIP - Juve liquidates Fiorentina (2-0) and extends on Naples and Lazio

Beautiful, ruthless and successful. On this Saturday of the Scudetto, Juventus is almost full loot. Victory over Fiorentina and an extension over Napoli, even if Mazzarri's men managed to equalize in the final against Lazio. Not bad, because if 6 points behind would have been many, even 5 can be enough to make the black and white people smile. But the reasons for rejoicing are not limited to mere ranking issues. Juventus are doing well and this, on the eve of the Champions League, is really good news. The Bianconeri had promised hell, and they kept their word. Apart from a good start, in which they also created two goal chances, Fiorentina never saw themselves and even seemed like a sacrificial victim in the second half. “It wasn't easy, they play good football and I want to congratulate Montella – commented Pavel Nedved, who presented himself in front of the microphones for the occasion. – Having said that, Juventus dominated and was superior throughout the match."

It's hard to blame him: if anyone thought they saw a Juve in difficulty, they were definitely disappointed. The first goal came after just 10 minutes, but Marchisio's left foot went just wide. On the reversal in the face, here is Fiorentina's reply, but Jovetic was anticipated by Buffon. In the 16th minute it was still the Viola who made themselves dangerous, but Jo-Jo had to bow down again in front of the black and white goalkeeper. A different fate for compatriot Vucinic, who found the opening goal in the 20th minute with a powerful (but central) right-footed shot from outside the area that ended up behind a guilty Viviano.

However, the Viola goalkeeper redeemed himself in the 32nd minute: Vucinic stole the ball from the "unfortunate" Rodriguez and flew all alone into the area, but then incredibly kicked at the goalkeeper. Solita Juve must have thought someone, as beautiful as it is wasteful. This time, however, things went differently and Matri closed the match at the end of time. The action, triggered by an amazing Vidal, was concluded by the former Cagliari player, good at scoring despite the fact that the boot had just flown off. A detail in this sea of ​​Juve, who in the second half managed Viola's ardor (so to speak...) with class and maturity. Only two cons: the inability to round off the result (Giovinco, right?) and the injuries of Vucinic and De Ceglie, which can weigh heavily in view of the Champions League. The latest updates give Juventus fans hope: the two will be on the flight that will reach Glasgow this morning. Battle is blowing at Celtic Park, but Juventus is ready. Europe is warned…
