Juventus crashed to their second consecutive defeat since sealing a ninth Serie A title in a row, falling 3-1 at home against Roma in their final match of the season on Saturday, days before their Champions League campaign resumes.
Juventus’ Argentinian forward Gonzalo Higuain vies for the ball with AS Roma’s English defender Chris Smalling during the Italian Serie A football match Juventus vs Roma on August 1, 20 20 at the Allianz stadium in Turin.
Cristiano Ronaldo was rested for the final match with nothing left to play for against fifth-place Roma. A Perotti penalty before the break and a second six minutes into the second half condemned Juventus to their third defeat in four matches. “Juve has a much better structure on and off the pitch. Now the others are trying to work to catch up. We must be smart to understand how to do this, not to go from depression to excessive euphoria.”
“In the last few weeks we have played more confident football, taken our foot off the gas a little, but tonight we have understood that you cannot play like that against this type of team, and it will be the same with the PSG.”Lazio finished fourth, equal on points with Atalanta, having been pushing for the title just one point behind Juventus when the season resumed on June 20.
Immobile will also win the European Golden Shoe for the continent’s top scorer this term, having overtaken Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski’s tally of 34 in midweek.
