Three quarters of a shield in an Easter egg. Juventus also surpasses Bologna and can finally start the countdown to the title. It doesn't matter that Roma don't give up, the 8-point lead (almost 9 considering that the first leg match was won 3-0) is worth a solid policy. The Italian flag could arrive as early as next Monday against Sassuolo, but only if the Giallorossi do not beat Milan, otherwise it will be enough to wait for Monday 5 May (in Turin with Atalanta), a date that in the Juventus calendar is already synonymous with celebration . “We have taken a big step forward towards the Scudetto – admitted Antonio Conte at the press conference. – Winning was what counted and it wasn't easy, all the teams at the Stadium defend themselves and we are forced to score immediately to unlock the match. Now let's look at us, not at Rome which is doing extraordinary things anyway". Clear and shareable concepts those of the Juventus coach, who for once had to suffer to see him win. In spite of the standings, in fact, the match was not easy, because Bologna, sucked back into the relegation zone by Sassuolo, tried to defend the draw tooth and nail.
And then, despite the recommendations of the day before, Conte too had to surrender to the evidence: concentrating 100% on a championship that he almost won with a semi-final of the Europa League just around the corner is simply impossible. The bianconeri, without the bruised Vidal and Tevez, as well as the suspended Bonucci and Lichtsteiner, start with an unusually calm pace. The ball turns well but once you get close to the opponent's area, ideas get confused, also because Ballardini lines up a marginot line in front of Curci, with the striker Cristaldo almost tender in his solitary wandering. However, the plan works and Juve's first half, chances in hand, is all in a couple of shots from Pogba. It goes without saying that Buffon doesn't even get his gloves dirty, but this doesn't console the possessed Conte much. Which evidently made itself felt in the interval given that Juve, in the second half, raised their voices again. In the 50th minute Giovinco throws Isla into space but Curci understands everything and blocks it out, in the 55th minute Pirlo tries with a free kick but the ball goes high. However, the goal was in the air and arrived in the 64th minute: Isla serves Pogba who from the edge of the area lets off a missile that bends the hands of the Bolognese goalkeeper. Conte explodes and with him the whole stadium: this too is done! In fact, Bologna didn't have the strength to reopen the match and the Bianconeri let the clock run until Giacomelli's final whistle. Which sanctions the victory of the Lady, the 17th housewife in as many games. Incredible numbers, championship numbers.
