A record championship! Juventus also wins in Rome and certifies what everyone has been saying for some time: this season will go down in history. Reached 99 points, 2 more than Mancini's Inter in 2006/07, when Juve were in the hell of Serie B. Eight years later, everything has changed and today it's the black and whites who are celebrating once again. Next Sunday Cagliari will arrive in Turin: to reach the incredible figure of 100 points a draw will suffice, while a victory would even allow you to reach 102, an absolute record in the history of the main European championships, Premier, Liga and Bundesliga just to be clear.
“I am proud to be the coach of these exceptional boys – explained a radiant Conte. – We came from two seventh places, we won immediately, won again and now we want to go over 100 points. There is something to cheer about, we overcame Mancini's Inter by having an extraordinary season, exciting also thanks to Roma who have always kept us awake". A lot of happiness in the eyes and in the words of the Juventus coach, yet, if you look closely, also a touch of melancholy. Which, in view of the meeting with the club, worries the Juventus people a lot.
“People want to win in Europe, but I don't roll the wool and mirrors – he admitted immediately after the match. – I want to be realistic, it's hard to improve. In these days we will clarify my position, but if there is no unity of intent with Juve, I would prefer not to stay still for a year". In short, the match with Agnelli and Marotta is far from over and keeps the fans apprehensive more than once on the pitch. Also because there, on the green ground, the Lady always wins.
Yesterday Garcia's Roma also had to give up, splendid opponents for most of the season, yet now 14 points behind the Italian champions. To condemn it, as often happens, the goal of the ex. Pablo Daniel Osvaldo, certainly not one of the brightest protagonists of this season, scored the most awaited goal, especially from him. His exultation (hand to ear) was the response to the deafening whistles of the yellow and red people, who had "forced" him to leave the capital due to an important dispute.
Revenge came at the very last moment of a real game, despite the lack of goals for both. Roma's desire to beat the Lady at least in a straight match, but also from the latter to reaffirm, once again, its superiority. And so a good show came out, made up of high rhythms, goal chances and competitive spirit. This unfortunately resulted in a bad episode that saw Chiellini as protagonist, author of an elbow to Pjanic incredibly not punished by the Russian referee.
For the rest, however, many positive things. Scores on both sides, with Storari and Skorupski in evidence over Gervinho and Llorente and pardoned by Totti (very high volley) and Pogba (sensational post after the goalkeeper was beaten). And in the second half, when the match seemed to be moving towards a fair and politically correct draw, Osvaldo's paw (94'). “This result doesn't detract from our vintage, we hope to be able to make an appointment with the Bianconeri next season – sighed Garcia. – The team deserves a big thank you from all the fans”. Roma and Juve played it out, but then the black and whites won. Photograph of a game and, more generally, of an entire season.
