Finally scudetto for the Juve. By beating Sampdoria 2-0, Juve confirmed itself champion of Italy for the ninth consecutive time - a feat never achieved by anyone in the five main European championships - and for the 36th time in its history with two days to go on the end of the craziest and most troubled Serie A tournament due to the Coronavirus.
That of Juve is also the first Scudetto in Maurizio Sarri's career who had never won a professional trophy in Italy.
It was also decisive against ex Ranieri's Sampdoria, who committed the Bianconeri very seriously Cristiano Ronaldo who opened the scoring by volleying a free-kick masterfully kicked by Pjanic. In the second half it was CR7 who returned the favor to Bernardeschi who returned to scoring after two years.
Unfortunately for him, however, Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty earned by Alex Sandro in the very last minutes, thus seeing the possibility of winning the top scorer standings, which currently sees Lazio's Immobile in the lead with 34 goals while CR7 is at 31.
But in view of the Champions, which will see her engaged on August 7 against Lyon for the return of the round of XNUMX, Juve's worries – despite the celebration evening for the scudetto – are different, namely the injuries suffered by Danilo (trouble with the head), by Dybala (woe to the adductor) and from DeLigt (woe to the right thigh), on the extent of which we will know something more only tomorrow.
Naturally, there will be a long discussion of whether Juve won the scudetto or lost it to their opponents – and mainly Conte's Inter and Simone Inzaghi's Lazio – who had deluded themselves in the first part of the championship that they could undermine the primacy of the bianconeri but they slowed down after the lockdown. Just as a final judgment on Sarri's Juve, who promised a good game but never made it, can only be given after the Champions League: if Juve reaches the final stages, their season will undoubtedly be judged positively, if instead, if Sarri stumbles first, he will not be able to avoid the trials and his bench will go back to wobbling. But tonight is the night of the Scudetto and it is right that Juve celebrate it.
