    [Serie A] JUVENTUS 2-2 Sassuolo [December 1st, 2019]

    That statement is partly true although when City won the league 2 seasons ago, teams would often park the bus at the etihad. It’s just that lower teams don’t fear the likes of Arsenal or Utd anymore which is why games with these opponents tend to be more open.

    [Serie A] JUVENTUS 2-2 Sassuolo [December 1st, 2019]

    This is how they lined up that day in the final. Which is why Ronaldo was popping up on the right and combining with Carvajal.

    [Serie A] JUVENTUS 2-2 Sassuolo [December 1st, 2019]

    I don’t understand why for this kind of game at home we couldn’t field all 3 of Dybala, Higuain and Ronaldo. We’d have the lions share of the ball anyway so I didnt think it would take away anything substantial from a defensive point of view and our attack would clearly have been bolstered...
