Juve beat Sassuolo with record-breaking Dybala and Buffon

Now you can think about Bayern! Dybala's magic allows Juve to archive the advance against Sassuolo in the best possible way, to put pressure on Napoli (minus 6 waiting for the match in Palermo) and to accumulate further confidence in view of Wednesday, when access to the quarterfinals of the Champions League in Monaco. The 17th victory in the last 18 games is also worth a lot in historical terms: for the tenth consecutive time Buffon's goal has been left clean and now Sebastiano Rossi's all-time record (929' in 1993/94) is only 3 minutes away. Super Gigi, barring sensational twists, will thus take the right reward for his extraordinary career in the derby against Toro, the perfect stage for one of the greatest goalkeepers ever, Italian and otherwise. In short, only good news, on the night in Turin, in defiance of those who thought they would find a distracted Juve, distracted by the imminent match at the Allianz Arena.

“It was an important victory, one less we need to win the Scudetto – commented Massimiliano Allegri. – In the end we struggled a bit but I'm happy with what the boys did, Napoli and Roma won't lose many points and it's essential to keep up our pace. Now we'll think about Wednesday's match but without being obsessed with it: we'll need a feat, if we succeed well, otherwise we'll go back to the championship”. The Juventus coach's recipe is simple: a free head, a warm heart and the rest will follow by itself. In Italy, however, it is another thing, after all Juventus' dominance is now well established and recognized by all. Even yesterday the Lady showed all her talents, mental even before technical. The ability to manage the various phases of the match is typical of a great team, capable of accumulating points after points without wasting energy, the maximum with the minimum effort. Because sooner or later, when you have players like Dybala and Cuadrado, you necessarily score the goal. The Juventus "law" was confirmed in the 37th minute of the first half: great play by the Colombian on the right and a splendid left-footed shot by the Argentine, on which Consigli was unable to do anything. In the second half Juve, in addition to celebrating Buffon's overtaking of Zoff (903' in 1972/73), tried to double without particular problems without finding it. The match remained in the balance and in the end Sassuolo gave the Stadium some thrills with a couple of chances, however blocked by the Juventus goalkeeper. The party is almost complete, now to make it extra special we need a big European night. And with another piece of the Scudetto in your pocket, you can really try.
