Defensively, they looked good, mainly because the visitors weren’t too keen on attack, but Juve’s attacking bluntness was unbelievable.Bizarre incident: Fan invades the pitch and injures Juventus starThe offensive duo of Jonathan David and Randal Kolo Muani was poor, and had it not been for Luciano Spalletti’s timely substitution and bringing on Nicolas Gonzalez, the Turin club wouldn’t have won today.The Argentine became a Juventus hero, hit the post twice – Francisco Conceicao did the same before the break from his team’s only chance – and paved the way for the first home victory of the season.And even though his side triumphed and Teun Koopmeiners made the wi..

It is clear that the player no longer wants to be there and wants to join Barcelona, but that is definitely not going to happen.
