That run down the flank in the first half :tuttosport:

Defensively very solid as well, as always. I noticed two minor errors, but they weren't 100 % errors, as he was very unlucky with how the ball bounced both times. Slippery field as well, so.

Beast :delpiero:

Juve managed to do two things that I hate to see from a team playing three CBs for the equaliser: first, they had CBs just standing deep and holding postion, marking no-one, instead of being more active in going out to mark or confront a forward; and second, Barzagli and Bonucci got themselves caught square so that Palacio was able to beat both of them with a single touch, which just shouldn't happen.

Barzagli, even if he wasn't going follow Palacio all the way when he dropped deep, should have been at least five yards or so higher up the pitch so that he would be in a position where a touch taken by Palacio to beat him would be easy for Bonucci to deal with sweeping up behind.

As it was, Barzagli was ball-watching and only realised Palacio was moving forward at pace once it was too late to do anything much about it.
