JUVENTUS - FIORENTINA .- Wednesday, April 29th, 2015 - 8:45 PM Juventus Stadium, Turin Referee: Luca Banti Preview: Juventus vs. Fiorentina Apr 28, 2015 Juventus could win the Serie A title for the fourth year running if they beat Fiorentina when the two teams clash in Turin on Wednesday evening. Should Lazio fail to claim all three points in their match against Parma, then the Bianconeri will be crowned champions with a victory, but their opponents are also looking for valuable points in their bid to reach the Champions League. Juventus A 33rd league title is within touching distance for Juventus and if results go their way then they will be celebrating on Wednesday evening. They need to pick up a win against Fiorentina and hope that Lazio fail to beat Parma at home. It does not seem out of the question, given that Lazio were held to a draw by Chievo at the Stadio Olimpico at the weekend, while Parma claimed a 1-0 victory over Palermo to earn their third win in five games. Even if Juventus don't manage to win the Scuedetto this week, it is surely only a matter of time until they are crowned champions once again and with a Coppa Italia final to come and a Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid, they are still very much on for a remarkable treble. Despite their dominant position at the top of the table, they have stuttered in the league recently and have lost two of their previous three matches, with the latest of those coming against city rivals Torino on Sunday afternoon. The Bianconeri had taken the lead thanks to a trademark free kick from Andrea Pirlo, but goals from Matteo Darmian and former Juventus striker Fabio Quagliarella earned Torino a 2-1 victory and their first win in the Turin derby for over 20 years. Massimiliano Allegri did make a number of changes to his side, with the likes of Giorgio Chiellini, Carlos Tevez and Andrea Barzagli named on the bench, but they should all return to the starting lineup to face the Viola with so much at stake. Recent form in Serie A: W W W L W L Recent form (all competitions): W L W W D L Fiorentina At the beginning of the month Fiorentina were in fine form and a 2-0 victory over Sampdoria had boosted their hopes of qualifying for next season's Champions League. However, they have lost their three previous games in the league and it has seen them drop down to sixth place; they are now eight points away from third-placed Roma. Their immediate concern now must be ensuring at least a top-six finish, as Genoa and Torino have closed to within two points of them in the table, with Inter Milan also hoping to punish them for any more mistakes. Vincenzo Montella will be particularly disappointed at their performance at the weekend, as they suffered a 3-1 defeat against relegation-threatened Cagliari. It was their second successive home defeat, as they were beaten by Hellas Verona last Monday despite dominating virtually the entire match. It is not all doom and gloom for Fiorentina, as they are in the semi-finals of the Europa League following their victory over Dynamo Kiev and they will now face holders Sevilla for the chance to play in next month's final. Recent form in Serie A: W D W L L L Recent form (all competitions): L L D L W D Team News Tevez will be expected to start for Juventus, while Claudio Marchisio is available after serving a ban at the weekend. Chiellini is also likely to be restored to the defence, as Leonardo Bonucci misses out through suspension. Patrice Evra missed the Turin derby with a hip injury, and if he is unable to recover in time then Simone Padoin will once again fill in down the left flank. Fiorentina are without Khouma Babacar, who picked up a knee injury last week against Verona and will not play again this season. Montella could make a number of changes to his side, with first-team regulars Gonzalo Rodriguez, Mario Gomez and Joaquin expected to return to the starting lineup. Juventus possible starting lineup: Buffon; Lichtsteiner, Barzagli, Chiellini, Padoin; Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio; Pereyra; Tevez, Morata Fiorentina possible starting lineup: Neto; Rodriguez, Savic, Alonso; Tomovic, Badelj, Fernandez, Valero; Joaquin, Gomez, Salah Head To Head These teams recently played each other in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia, and Fiorentina won the first leg of that tie 2-1 in Turin thanks to a double from Mohamed Salah. However, the Viola were unable to hang on to their advantage in the return meeting, as Juventus ran out 3-0 winners to set up a final against Lazio. Juventus have the better record of the teams in the last few years, having lost just two of their previous 13 meetings. We say: Juventus 2-0 Fiorentina Juventus will have been disappointed to have lost the derby against Torino at the weekend, but with the title up for grabs they will be desperate to beat Fiorentina. They are expected to welcome back a number of their best players and with the visitors in poor form, we think that they will end up claiming all the points. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

Allegri: ‘Torino will help us grow’ Apr 28, 2015 Juventus’ defeat to Torino on Sunday will help the team to grow, according to Coach Massimiliano Allegri. The Old Lady lost to their city rivals for the first time in 20 years at the weekend, but Allegri says the young players in the squad will benefit from the experience. “I think Sunday’s games is part of the further growth of this team,” Allegri said in his Press conference ahead of the Fiorentina game. “In this squad there are some very young lads including [Alvaro] Morata, [stefano] Sturaro, [Roberto] Pereyra and [Kingsley] Coman. “I think games like this can teach these lads that when you play for a big team you always play to win, so you have to be in the habit of playing to win every two or three days. “It’s different to playing for a small club where you play once a week. As with all things, it takes time and a period of growth. “On Sunday the strikers were criticised, but I think if you look at Morata, he’s in his first year in Italy, he’s a 22-year-old lad who wasn’t a starter at Real Madrid and now finds himself in the limelight at Juventus. “It’s normal that there will be periods where he does well, and others where he does less well, until he finds the right balance to produce on a consistent basis. “This applies to everyone else too, it’s a normal growth process for any individual player, especially a young one, when they arrive at a massive club.” The Bianconeri face a first Champions League semi-final since 2003 on May 5, but Allegri warns the players must be entirely concentrated on Fiorentina tomorrow. “I think the players are thinking about the game tomorrow, not Cristiano Ronaldo. We have to play one game at time, we can’t play them all together. “We can’t play the match against Real Madrid today or tomorrow, we have to play it on May 5. “We have to prepare well for the match tomorrow night, because it’s harder to work with defeats weighing on you, and it takes away a little bit of certainty. “So we have to think about tomorrow, and try to improve what we’re doing, the things we started doing on July 16. “We’re getting to the end of the season, and we’re fighting on every front, so we have to make sure we don’t stop working and we must try to improve the things we need to improve.”

Leonardo Bonucci is quietly having a very good season Apr 28, 2015 There have been moments in Leonardo Bonucci's six-year career with Juventus that make you laugh, others that make you stand up and cheer, and then some that make you frustrated as all living hell. This has been the story of Leonardo Bonucci ever since the day he made his Juve debut in August of 2009. Like it or leave it, things just happen — good and bad. Yes, things like that tends to happen from time to time, especially this season. And let's be honest, it's worth a good laugh to see Bonucci take a tumble over the advertising boards during the handful of Juventus wins he's done such this season. Yet, with all the funny comes the pretty impressive as well. You probably won't be mistaking Bonucci for Carlos Tévez or Álvaro Morata anytime soon, but that's beside the point. It's not like we get to see a Juventus defender stride forward with a run like that and find the back of the net. (No, not Giorgio Chiellini as much as he wants to do those kinds of runs on a regular basis.) Let me pose this question with a follow-up: Did you expect Bonucci to be one of Juventus' most consistent and reliable players this season? Did you expect him to be Juventus' most consistent defenders as well? I'm asking this in an honest kind of way, not the 'Hey, let's mock Leo because he's kinda funny!' way or anything like that. Bonucci has been good — in fact, very, very good for the vast majority of the 2014-15 season, one that will see Juve wrap up a fourth straight Scudetto in a matter of games and advance to the Champions League semifinals. Looking at Giorgio Chiellini's stats, they are better than Bonucci's, so he must be having a pretty good season, too. Well, not really. Bonucci's had to play next to an out-of-form Chiellini for a good amount of Juventus' games this season. It seems like we've probably seen Chiellini slip on the turf on a European stage just as many times as Bonucci has gone over the advertising boards in recent weeks. Then you throw in how Juventus' defense has been ravaged by injuries — with both Barzagli and Cáceres missing huge chunks of the season — and despite all of it, Bonucci has been as consistent as it gets. And it has come in a campaign where Max Allegri began the season with a base 3-5-2 formation, then switched to his preferred 4-3-1-2, and has since bounced back and forth depending on the injury situation and what the individual game calls for at the time. At the center — ha, pun intended — of it all bas been Bonucci no matter which defensive setup has been used. Some of that has to do with the fact that Bonucci is comfortable in both formations because of the past teams he's been on, but it also has to do with how well he has played in general. It doesn't really what formation Allegrii has deployed or who has played alongside the 27-year-old Bonucci. When he's played, he's produced. And that has happened a lot considering he has played the most minutes (2,700) and started the most games (30 out of a possible 32) out of any Juventus player in Serie A this season. That's something we weren't able to say during the early days of his Juventus career. Gone are the days where he was wildly inconsistent and a potential liability in big games. And the value of all of this? Massive, no doubt. In a season where the shuffling in defense has been frequent as Allegri going between two formations as of late, the only thing more consistent has been the play of Bonucci.

Massimiliano Allegri: 'Juventus can beat Real Madrid' Apr 27, 2015 Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has said that his team are not afraid of facing Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the Champions League. The Bianconeri have not managed to reach the final of the European Cup since 2003, but Allegri believes that they are more than capable of knocking out the current holders. "It's a fascinating match against the European champions, a stellar team," he told Sky Sport Italia. "We're aware of our ability, and we want to do what we can until the end. We have no fear, but we respect Real. "If we get to the final it would be extraordinary, but we certainly don't want to settle for just having gotten here [the semi-final]. There's always the tradition of wanting to win here, because that's the tradition of 117 years of a club which has won in Italy and Europe, though in the latter some finals have gone wrong. "This year we've done well in Europe, but we want to get to the final. We think we can beat Madrid, if that wasn't the case we wouldn't even bother turning up." Juventus last won the Champions League in 1996.

TORINO - JUVENTUS 2 - 1 Andrea Pirlo (35') Matteo Darmian (45') Fabio Quagliarella (57') Sunday, April 26th, 2015 - 3:00 PM Olimpico Stadium, Turin Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Allegri: ‘Extraordinary season’ Apr 27, 2015 Juventus Coach Massimiliano Allegri is targeting four points to wrap up the Scudetto, part of an ‘extraordinary’ season. The Bianconeri are 14 points clear at the top of Serie A, but lost the Derby della Mole to Torino at the weekend. “I haven’t digested it yet, because it’s a game which should have ended another way,” Allegri told Sky. “However, games like that will help us grow, especially the lads who are in their first year at Juventus, and need to understand what it’s like to play for a big team and play to win every game. “I said yesterday, we didn’t drop a point, we gained two, because before the game we were two wins from the Scudetto and now we need four points. “We were angry at the end yesterday, because losing is bad, and above all I’m sad when we concede a goal. “We had only conceded one goal in our last 10 games in the League, Coppa Italia and Champions League, and I think that’s important, because the team with the best defence and attack always wins the League. “To concede two goals yesterday, especially in the way we did was disappointing. “The lads have had a good season, but we haven’t won anything yet, so we want to be able to say it’s been an extraordinary season. “The one thing we have to do is secure those all-important four points. We can’t get them on Wednesday, because we can’t get more than three even if we win against Fiorentina, who will be angry after two home defeats.” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

TORINO - JUVENTUS 2 - 1 Andrea Pirlo (35') Matteo Darmian (45') Fabio Quagliarella (57') Sunday, April 26th, 2015 - 3:00 PM Olimpico Stadium, Turin Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Paper bomb launched by Juventus fans Apr 27, 2015 It has been confirmed that a paper bomb which injured several Torino supporters was launched by Juventus fans. The incident saw 11 fans of the Granata injured after the firework exploded under some seats, sending shrapnel flying through the air. The incident was not ruled upon in today’s Lega Serie A disciplinary action, as more time was needed for the police to collect evidence. However, news wire ANSA is now reporting that, having reviewed video evidence from the stadium, it has been determined that fans of the Bianconeri launched the explosive. The Old Lady will now face sanctions, including the possibility of having sections of Juventus Stadium closed to fans. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

'Allegri brings international experience' Apr 27, 2015 Former Juventus and Italy Coach Marcello Lippi believes current Bianconeri boss Massimiliano Allegri has brought international experience to the club. In an interview with Radio Onda Libera, the World Cup-winning Coach compared Allegri with his predecessor Antonio Conte and discussed Sunday’s derby defeat to Torino. “Conte began his work by making a fantastic impression that also came from his Juventus DNA, with the right desire and character,” Lippi said. “Allegri brought something different and international experience that is producing further improvement. “Torino pulled off a great result and it is further confirmation of the great work of [Giampiero] Ventura. “The last time I was there was when Torino won two derbies but were fighting against relegation, whereas now they’re in a different dimension. “Juve managed the game intelligently and played a great derby despite having expended energy on other commitments. “Juventus dominate in Italy and are beginning to win their important matches on the European stage as well.”

TORINO - JUVENTUS 2 - 1 Andrea Pirlo (35') Matteo Darmian (45') Fabio Quagliarella (57') Sunday, April 26th, 2015 - 3:00 PM Olimpico Stadium, Turin Referee: Paolo Tagliavento TORINO 2-1 JUVENTUS SERIE A WEEK 32 PLAYER RATINGS Apr 27, 2015 Andrea Pirlo gave Juve the lead but Torino came back with goals from Mattia Darmian and Fabio Quagliarella to earn their first Derby win in 20 years. Torino started the brighter but Andrea Pirlo’s sublime free kick gave Juve the lead. Torino pushed back and Mattia Darmian’s half volley bought the scores level before Fabio Quagliarella’s side-footed shot put the Granata ahead and earned them all 3 points. Gianluigi Buffon 6.0 - A good early save to deny Quagliarella but was left stranded for both Torino goals by his defence. Stephan Lichtsteiner 5.5 - A real disappointing outing from the Swiss defender where he failed to created or contribute anything of note. Leonardo Bonucci 5.0 - A few decent clearances aside, he, and the other defenders were at fault for both Torino goals. A game to forget. Angelo Ogbonna 5.0 - Caught out on Torino’s winning goal but he had to mark two players. Was surprisingly decent for the remainder of the game, but that will undoubtedly go overlooked. Simone Padoin 5.5 - Struggled to contain Bruno Peres and was restricted to operating in his own half. Doesn’t always thrive at left-back. Arturo Vidal 6.0 - One of the few bright sparks in an otherwise disappointing display. Broke up attacks, pushed forwward when he could but wasn’t able to influence the game. Andrea Pirlo 7.0 - Afforded plenty of space by the Torino midfield, Maestro was at his best, pinging crosses, pulling the strings and scoring a brilliant opening goal. Sublime. Stefano Sturaro 5.5 - A tough game for the youngster where he seemed a little lost throughout the match – Wasted a golden opportunity to level the scores late on. Roberto Pereyra 5.0 - One or two passes aside, he was mostly MIA for much of the game and didn’t create anything of note. Alessandro Matri 6.0 - Incredibly wasteful after missing at least 4 great chances to score. Held up play well but really should have had at least one goal on the day. Alvaro Morata 5.0 - A tough match for the youngster, didn’t make many of his usually brilliant runs into the box and struggled before being replaced by Llorente. Substitutes Carlos Tevez N/A Simone Pepe N/A Fernando Llorente N/A http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

TORINO - JUVENTUS 2 - 1 Andrea Pirlo (35') Matteo Darmian (45') Fabio Quagliarella (57') Sunday, April 26th, 2015 - 3:00 PM Olimpico Stadium, Turin Referee: Paolo Tagliavento 'Italy is a Mafia state' – De Laurentiis slams Serie A violence following Torino-Juventus clashes The Napoli president launched a sensational attack on the authorities following further violent episodes on Sunday before and during the Turin derby. Apr 27, 2015 Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis has hit out at Italy's failure to clamp down on fan violence, labelling the country a "mafia state". There have been a number of violent episodes in recent weeks, with Roma fans launching an aggressive campaign against president James Pallotta and Cagliari ultras entering a training camp to angrily confront players. On Sunday, there were more problems as Torino fans smashed Juventus' team bus prior to the Turin derby, while 11 Granata fans were injured during the game by a firework thrown by Bianconeri fans. "We have a mafia state," De Laurentiis roared to Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli. "We are the mafia capital, we have the Ndrangheta (the Calabrese mafia), the Camorra (Neapolitan mafia) – is this what we call the bel paese? "We need Angelino Alfano [italy's Minister of the Interior] to take a good hard look at himself. I know he is worried about it, but he's far behind, because we already told him to give power to the police in the stands like they do in England. He didn't listen. "This violence has nothing to do with organised fan groups. Why does Alfano not do something an eight-year-old child could organise? "We are tired of this apathy that guarantees political votes. In England, the Prime Minister moved to fix violence in stadiums [after the Hillsborough disaster], while here, everyone just stands around." De Laurentiis has been a vocal critic of fan violence ever since a Napoli fan, Ciro Esposito, was murdered by a Roma Ultra prior to the 2014 Coppa Italia final. A few weeks ago, a group of Roma fans unveiled a banner inside the Stadio Olimpico mocking Esposito's mother, which prompted widespread condemnation. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

TORINO - JUVENTUS 2 - 1 Andrea Pirlo (35') Matteo Darmian (45') Fabio Quagliarella (57') Sunday, April 26th, 2015 - 3:00 PM Olimpico Stadium, Turin Referee: Paolo Tagliavento TORINO 2-1 JUVENTUS MATCH REPORT Apr 27, 2015 Juventus took the lead through Andrea Pirlo’s sublime free kick but it wasn’t enough to stop Torino running out 2-1 winners – Their first Derby victory in 20 years. The Granata knew what was at stake going into this game, especially when you remember Andrea Pirlo single handedly beat Torino in the dying seconds when the two sides met earlier this season. Claudio Marchisio was suspended and Patrice Evra, Paul Pogba, Martin Caceres, Kwadwo Asamoah and Romulo were all recovering from injury while Fabio Quagliarella lined up against his former club. The Bianconeri also had a lot riding on a potential victory, knowing that a win here and a Lazio loss would mathematically seal a 33rd Scudetto. Torino started the brighter of the two teams, pressing high up the pitch to disrupt Juve. Gigi Buffon was called into action almost immediately to smother Fabio Quagliarella’s angled drive and shortly after, Ale Matri chested down a perfect Andrea Pirlo overhead cross but his volley flew over the bar. Juve had a legitimate penalty shout when Roberto Pereyra’s flick struck the arm of Emiliano Moretti but it was deemed to be close range. Torino continued to dominate the first half but it was a moment of magic from the maestro Andrea Pirlo that broke the deadlock. His free kick curled over the wall and struck the underside of the bar before going in leaving Daniele Padelli no chance of saving it. That goal put Pirlo just 1 behind Sinisa Mihajlovic in the free kick charts for Serie A -The Serb’s tally stands at 28 while Pirlo is now on 27. To their credit, Toro didn’t let up on the pressure and continued to push forward and they got their equaliser shortly before the end of the half. Quagliarella pulled back from the right for Matteo Darmian who mistimed his first tough but ran through the defence to catch the bobbling ball on the half-volley and fire past Gigi Buffon. Juve started the second half in more determined fashion and Pirlo almost scored an identical free kick but his effort hit the upright and bounced out. Despite the pressure, it was Torino who went ahead thanks to hard work from Omar El Kaddouri who played a through ball for Darmian who played a first time cross for Quagliarella to side-foot home in front of goal. Max Allegri made attacking substitutions and despite a thoroughly frustrating first half, Alessandro Matri almost got an equaliser for Juve but his glancing header his the far post. Juventus hit the woodwork for a third time in the game and it was Matri again, his cross beating everyone and hitting Padelli’s far post. It was a disappointing loss in hindsight, but Juve only need 4 points to clinch the Scudetto while they still have the Coppa Italia final and a Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid to look forward to.

TORINO - JUVENTUS 2 - 1 Andrea Pirlo (35') Matteo Darmian (45') Fabio Quagliarella (57') Sunday, April 26th, 2015 - 3:00 PM Olimpico Stadium, Turin Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Juve face possible Curva closure Apr 27, 2015 Juventus could be reprimanded for the behaviour of their fans in Sunday’s Derby della Mole with the closure of a Curva in the Juventus Stadium. Torino’s 2-1 win over Juve was marred by crowd trouble, as Granata fans attacked the Juve team bus before kick-off and then a paper bomb injured 10 Torino fans inside the stadium. La Stampa believes that a federal judge will today decide on the punishments to be handed out, based on FIGC reports from the match. If it is confirmed that the paper bomb was thrown from the Juventus section, the Old Lady will risk the closure of a Curva as punishment. Torino are believed to not have objective responsibility for the attack on the Juventus bus, but could be punished for objects being thrown in response to the bomb from the Curva Primavera. Any further punitive measures will be decided by the Interior Ministry. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

The videos show the bus being booed excessively by Torino fans, before some of the crowd lashed out at the vehicle with punches and kicks, in addition to the window breaking as a result of a thrown object; fortunately, none of the players were harmed. The win was the Granata’s first in 20 years, but the game was somewhat marred by violence, with nine supporters suffering injuries as a result of a paper bomb thrown from the Juve section during the game. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

TORINO - JUVENTUS 2 - 1 Andrea Pirlo (35') Matteo Darmian (45') Fabio Quagliarella (57') Sunday, April 26th, 2015 - 3:00 PM Olimpico Stadium, Turin Referee: Paolo Tagliavento VIDEO: Moment Juventus Fans Threw Bomb At Torino Supporters Which Injured Nine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9FTsZOZbpA Apr 26, 2015 Nine people were injured during Torino’s match with Juventus on Sunday evening in Serie A, as a paper bomb was thrown by Bianconeri fans into the Curva Primavera. The Granata won the game 2-1, their first win over Juve in 20 years, though violent scenes before and during game marred the win somewhat. Sky Sport Italia have reported the bomb landed next to a young girl, and her father kicked the device away just before it exploded. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

TORINO - JUVENTUS 2 - 1 Andrea Pirlo (35') Matteo Darmian (45') Fabio Quagliarella (57') Sunday, April 26th, 2015 - 3:00 PM Olimpico Stadium, Turin Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Juventus fall to neighbours Torino overshadowed by fan behaviour Apr 26, 2015 Torino fans had to wait 20 years, but after so much suffering they finally managed to play Juventus and win, defeating the Old Lady 2-1 in front of their home fans. It's been a magnificent year for both Turin clubs, especially on a European level. Torino manager Giampiero Ventura, despite the sales of his star assets last summer, continues to amaze with his ability to regenerate and motivate a side that boasts wonderful squad spirit despite their inferior technical ability. Managing rather-outstanding displays in the Europa league, against the likes of Athletic Bilbao and Zenit St Petersburg, the club and their tactician deserve praise for a season in which they've accumulated impressive results. Juventus, too, deserve praise for a stunning season in which the title is all but guaranteed. Having reached the final of the Coppa Italia and made it to the last four of the Champions League, they have surpassed expectations and Turin can be a proud footballing city. Or can they? While the clubs are living up to their potential, the fans let the city and Italian football fan down with their inexcusable behaviour prior to the start of the match. Football will never be a mere sport in a country where tribalism is very much alive and kicking. The Bianconeri's team bus was yet again pelted with rocks, bottles and more as it arrived at the stadium, causing damage but no injuries. Meanwhile, inside the Stadio Olimpico di Torino, a firework seemingly thrown from the Juventus section into the Curva Primavera exploded, injuring at least 10. At a time when Italian football is celebrating its excellence on the field despite the decline of the brand and the lack of investment, the fans continue in their attempts to force stagnation and perhaps even regression. Calcio can never hope to evolve and grow when fans are still creating a hostile environment in the stadium and on the streets, putting off the many families and fans who want to attend matches in a peaceful manner. Those who did go to the match were at least treated to an exciting game and an unlikely result. Based on performance alone, Juventus didn't deserve to lose but a side usually so capable at managing games and their energy levels disappointed with their inaccuracy and immaturity. Too often they felt the pressure and relinquished possession easily, when the game called for assured performances on the ball and calm, intelligent build-up to preserve energy. Instead, the Bianconeri often panicked, suffering as the home side pressed high up the pitch. Ventura explained his side believed in the win but it wasn't their determination that led to success but rather their ability to expose and exploit Juve's weaknesses, proving efficient on an afternoon in which Juventus hit the woodwork three times. By putting their opponents under pressure, the Granata won back possession in advantageous possession, counter-attacking with determination to scare Max Allegri's men. The visitors looked to have settled into the game as the first half progressed and Andrea Pirlo delivered another spectacular goal -- a splendid free kick to open the scoring -- and it appeared Juve's quality was making the difference. That is until Matteo Darmian equalised in stunning fashion as the Old Lady's defence fell asleep. With Carlos Tevez and Alvaro Morata struggling to make an impact, Juventus lacked that clinical efficiency up top. Arturo Vidal was once again careless with his play while Patrice Evra's absence was felt heavily. Allegri had to rotate his squad to keep his men fresh and ready, but on this occasion the absence of certain players weakened the side more than it should have. Playing with confidence and composure, it didn't take long before Torino were in the lead with Fabio Quagliarella scoring his side's second early in the second half. Allegri, in a desperate attempt to allow for more attacking fluidity, introduced Tevez but the Argentine is yet to recover completely from a thigh injury, and that was quickly made apparent. The desperate desire to score left Juventus exposed too often as they failed to find the right balance to the game. An afternoon in which a little luck would have made all the difference, Juventus fell to their city rivals, who played a well organised and efficient tactical game. A defeat is always difficult to swallow but with the club setting its sights on higher targets and the title still virtually guaranteed, Allegri can rest easy. His side did not manage the game well but as long as they do in the matches that matter, they can be forgiven on this occasion. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

TORINO - JUVENTUS 2 - 1 Andrea Pirlo (35') Matteo Darmian (45') Fabio Quagliarella (57') Sunday, April 26th, 2015 - 3:00 PM Olimpico Stadium, Turin Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Juventus Brought Back to Earth in Historic Derby Loss to Torino Apr 26, 2015 Over the past month, very little has gone wrong for Juventus, as the reigning Italian champions drew closer to all three trophies, which they remain in contention for. Entering this weekend’s fixtures some 15 points clear of the competition in Serie A, the Bianconeri have also secured their place in both the Coppa Italia final and the semi-finals of the Champions League. Having not won the domestic cup in 20 years and ending an absence of over a decade from the last four of Europe’s elite competition, the entire campaign has taken on historic significance. There have, of course, been some unfortunate results, with a recent loss to rock-bottom Parma perhaps chief among them. There was another notable mark on Sunday, with the team losing the Turin derby for the first time since 1995, succumbing 2-1 to their cross-town rivals and ending a 17-match unbeaten run. Torino were superb at the Stadio Olimpico, turning in a fine display for which Giampiero Ventura’s men deserve immense credit. A sublime Andrea Pirlo free kick opened the scoring, only for Matteo Darmian to net an equaliser just before half-time. The full-back—identified in this previous column as perhaps the most impressive member of the Granata squad—deserved the goal in what was arguably his best performance of the season. Having supplied the cross that led to Darmian’s goal, Fabio Quagliarella would grab an unlikely winner, the former Juventus striker enjoying his first goal against his former club following his summer exit. He was understandably emotional at the final whistle, struggling for composure as he spoke to Sky Sport Italia shortly after the final whistle (h/t Football Italia): It’s impossible to describe the emotions I am feeling right now and it might take us a few days to really get a clearer picture of it. Right now all we feel is joy that after 20 years Torino can celebrate this moment. I celebrated with my family in the stands, so I dedicate the goal to them as well as the fans. This victory gives us an important push up the standings. We struggled at times, of course. It would’ve been crazy to think we wouldn’t suffer against Juventus. That was almost certainly true, with the Bianconeri squandering a number of chances to take a share of the points. Another Pirlo set piece struck the woodwork, and Alessandro Matri repeated the feat twice more as a flurry of opportunities came the visitors' way late in the second half with Torino trying to see out the win. Overall, however, there was no denying the poor showing from Juventus, and Max Allegri was keen to point out the problems when he spoke to the press after the game, per Football Italia. The coach said his side had “sparked their counter-attacks” by being wasteful in possession, a fact backed up by statistics from WhoScored.com. According to their figures, the Bianconeri took more shots than Torino (19 to 11) and enjoyed 55.7 percent of possession, but committed 17 turnovers over the course of the match. Given that the game was played just four days after their Champions League encounter with AS Monaco, there was, of course, much rotation in the starting XI. Giorgio Chiellini, Patrice Evra and Carlos Tevez all sat out, while Claudio Marchisio was suspended due to the yellow card he received in the win over Lazio last weekend. “I don’t think that’s an excuse for our defeat,” Allegri told reporters, as noted by Football Italia, an admirable claim and one that should push his side to even greater heights in the coming weeks. Indeed, they will be able to atone for this poor showing in midweek, hosting Fiorentina at Juventus Stadium on Wednesday. They will know that a win will deliver a fourth consecutive league title, which will allow them to rest even more comfortably ahead of next month’s meeting with Real Madrid. Having made unwanted history on Sunday, a chance to pen a more positive chapter now awaits. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

TORINO - JUVENTUS 2 - 1 Andrea Pirlo (35') Matteo Darmian (45') Fabio Quagliarella (57') Sunday, April 26th, 2015 - 3:00 PM Olimpico Stadium, Turin Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Juventus 'condemn violence' Apr 26, 2015 Juventus released a statement “condemning all forms of violence” after 11 Torino supporters were injured. There were two different incidents before the Derby della Mole at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin. The Juventus team bus was pelted with objects, including rocks and fireworks, that caved in a window. Before kick-off a firework was thrown from the Juventus end into the Torino fans, exploding under some seats and sending shrapnel flying into the crowd. “Juventus Football Club condemn all forms of violence, whether it is from their own fans or the opposition supporters,” read a statement. “We demand fair treatment in the evaluation of all incidents both by the sporting justice system and media. “Today’s events require a profound reflection from the football world, but also from institutions and the media, who are important protagonists of this spectacle.” Before the game, Juventus director Beppe Marotta had accused newspapers – most likely La giornalaccio rosa dello Sport – of trying to fuel violence with inflammatory language. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

TORINO - JUVENTUS 2 - 1 Andrea Pirlo (35') Matteo Darmian (45') Fabio Quagliarella (57') Sunday, April 26th, 2015 - 3:00 PM Olimpico Stadium, Turin Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Torino 2-1 Juventus: Granata win the Derby della Mole after 20-year wait Andrea Pirlo's magical free-kick goal was overturned by a resilient Torino side, as Matteo Darmian and ex-Juve striker Fabio Quagliarella scored a goal each to hand their side the first derby victory since 1995. Apr 26, 2015 So the other side of Torino finally got their win... *slow clap* Losing is never a nice feeling — quite the opposite — but winning them all is a strenuous task. A quick recap of Juventus’ current situation shines a fair few positive rays over this rather bleak result, which would not even be rewarded with the "annoying" label if it wasn’t against the Granata. Champions League semi-finals? Check. Top of the table with a 14-point lead? Check. Coppa Italia final? Check. Mister Max Allegri has certainly earned the right to a poor display from his team now and then. With the title only a formality — four more points needed — it is simply logical to invest the efforts on the other objectives after such a successful year so far. Even the fact Juve have only won one of their last six away games in Serie A, drawing three in the process, is nowhere near alarming. With Lazio (LAZIO!) as the only other title candidate, if you can call it that, domestic fixtures should be a mere child’s play from now on. Switching back to 4-3-1-2 after the 3-5-2 deployed against Monaco was perhaps expected, given the circumstances. Romulo, Kwadwo Asamoah, Martin Caceres, Patrice Evra and Paul Pogba are all still out injured, while Claudio Marchisio was suspended for the match. Carlos Tévez was given a well-deserved break, and so were Giorgio Chiellini and the wall Andrea Barzagli. Starting Alessandro Matri ahead of Fernando Llorente probably raised a few eyebrows, but the Spaniard has been indeed in shocking form lately. It was rather hard to foresee Matri’s bad luck — the poor guy did try a lot. All the changes were then necessary. With the Fiorentina game fast approaching, namely this Wednesday, a few fresh legs coming from the bench did the trick today, despite the result. Expecting a similar line-up as today’s to face Sampdoria next weekend is not too impudent either, considering the fact Real Madrid comes up after just three days. It is hard finding a game from recent years more important than the first leg against the Spanish opposition. Benfica at the Juventus Stadium springs to mind, but it is quickly brushed aside by some more resilient neurons. So, there you go — plenty to think about than just mourn over this defeat. And at the end of the day, Fabio Quagliarella scored! All Juventini should be happy for him ... the cheeky bastard. MATCH SUMMARY In a terrific atmosphere created by maroons thundering in the stands, Morata was the author of the first shot in the very first minute when he tried to surprise Daniele Padelli from outside the box, but the ball flew over the crossbar. Torino were the better team for the first 10 minutes or so. Marco Benassi saw his effort going wide off Gianluigi Buffon’s goal in the 7th minute, just moments before the veteran goalkeeper was called into action to save Quagliarella’s shot placed right near the post. In the 13th minute, Matri wasted a huge chance for Juventus as he received a delightful chipped ball from Andrea Pirlo but sent his shot over the target from inside the 6-yard box. Three minutes later, Roberto Pereyra did well to steal possession in midfield and launch a counter. After an exchange with Morata, the Argentine delivered a low cross for Matri but the Italian striker couldn’t get in front of his marker and the ball was cleared away. All of a sudden, the game gained intensity and the two teams attacked each other on counters. Matri was again involved in the opposite box without any effects on the scoreline, just before Quagliarella and Benassi combined inside Juventus’ area without threatening Buffon’s goal. A header from Morata was easily saved by Padelli in the 31st minute, but it boded worst things to come for Torino. And indeed, Juventus broke the deadlock in the 35th minute. Matri won a free-kick in central position, 20 yards away from Torino’s goal. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Pirlo stepped up and converted the set piece in astonishing fashion, curling the ball over the wall and past Padelli with the help of the crossbar. But the Bianconeri couldn’t hold the advantage until the break. Leonardo Bonucci misjudged a long ball, allowing Quagliarella to cut in from the right and find Matteo Darmian unmarked on the left. The defender’s first touch was poor but he followed the ball and eventually managed to put it past a helpless Buffon. Juventus started the second half on the front foot but couldn’t create a dangerous action until the 52nd minute when Pirlo was presented with another free-kick opportunity, from around 30 yards out. The curl was similar with the earlier striker but this time the ball hit Padelli’s left post, as the goalkeeper was rooted to the spot. Quagliarella stunned the Bianconeri in the 57th minute. Darmian received a pass on the left from El Kaddouri and played it across the box. The ex-Juventus striker beat Angelo Ogbonna to the ball and tapped it past Buffon from close range to give Torino the lead. With the scoreline against him, Allegri decided to change and replaced Morata with Tévez in the 65th minute. Arturo Vidal missed a huge chance five minutes later. Pereyra combined with Tévez just outside the box and delivered a splendid cross with the outside of his boot for the Chilean midfielder whose header flew inches wide past the far post. A few moments afterwards, Bruno Peres was brilliantly blocked by Bonucci inside Juve’s box before Ogbonna cleared a dangerous ball headed in by El Kaddouri. With 15 minutes to go, Matri came close again to scoring after a good cross from Stephan Lichsteiner, but like Vidal earlier, the striker couldn’t direct his header on goal, hitting the upright instead. Josef Martinez thought he doubled Torino’s advantage in the 80th minute after a good action from El Kaddouri and a similar good ball cut back by Quagliarella, but his goal was disallowed for an offisde. At the other end, Juventus hit the post again through Simone Padoin, whose cross from the left bounced untouched in the box. Simone Pepe tried to nod it in but Padelli was at his post again. Moment later, the goalkeeper produced an unbelievable save at Stefano Sturaro’s header from close range after a perfect Pirlo cross. The Bianconeri continued to press high up the pitch in the search for an equaliser but Pirlo’s shot inside the 5 minutes of injury time went horribly wrong after the ball bounced weirdly just before he hit it. As the full-time whistle arrived, there was no joy for Juventus and Granata’s fans celebrated their team’s win, invading the pitch. PLAYER RATINGS Buffon: 6 Was left with little cover by his defence at both goals, although he could have probably done better at the first one. Lichtsteiner: 5.5 Had a relatively good defending performance in the first half until he left Darmian unmarked at the first goal. A couple of unusually good crosses delivered in the second part Bonucci: 5 Was very badly positioned at the goal conceded in the first half and did little in the last 45 minutes to make up for his mistake. Ogbonna: 5 Too slow to react at the second goal and allowed Quagliarella to get in front of him. The ex-Torino man seemed a bit more alert than his defensive pair though. Padoin: 5.5 Very little and ineffective defensive contribution although had a couple of decent surges forward. Vidal: 6 Good ball distribution and several helpful tackles in midfield, although was very wasteful in the final third, also missing a great scoring chance Pirlo: 7 A fantastic goal from the bearded genius which was almost doubled up in the second half. By far the best Juve player on the pitch Sturaro: 5.5 His presence in midfield was rarely felt. Missed a fabulous chance to equalise in the final minutes Pereyra: 6 Was lively in midfield in the first part, getting involved in all the attacking moves but was left without a decent chance by the time he was substituted Morata: 5 Very quiet game from the Spaniard, who was hardly involved in anything Matri: 5.5 Really unlucky to miss a handful of good chances although deserves credit for winning the free-kick converted by Pirlo. Subs Tévez: 5.5 Replaced Morata after 65 minutes but couldn’t make his mark in the game Pepe: 6 Came in for Pereyra with 12 minutes left to play and missed a good chance shortly afterwards. Lost possession annoyingly for a couple of times Llorente: N/A Late replacement for Padoin, barely touched the ball Coach Allegri: 5.5 Can’t blame him for rotating a tired squad, after the intense effort made in the last couple of weeks. Juventus created enough chances and hitting the post four times was really unlucky. Expect him to sort things out again http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

TORINO - JUVENTUS 2 - 1 Andrea Pirlo (35') Matteo Darmian (45') Fabio Quagliarella (57') Sunday, April 26th, 2015 - 3:00 PM Olimpico Stadium, Turin Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Bonucci: Torino Were Lucky Against Juventus Apr 26, 2015 Leonardo Bonucci felt Juventus were the architects of their own demise, after his side lost 2-1 against Torino on Sunday afternoon. The defeat marked Torino’s first derby victory in 20 years, as Juventus slumped despite having taken the lead through Andrea Pirlo. Bonucci blamed himself on the mistake that allowed Matteo Darmian to equalise, but maintained that Torino were lucky to have come away with all three points. “The goal from Darmian was my fault,” Bonucci said to Sky Sport Italia. “I had stopped at the moment of the shot when I should have followed through instead. If I had not stopped, then I could have maybe gotten to Darmian and block him from shooting. “Torino were lucky on the day and more clinical whenever they had opportunities. “Today we paid for some carelessness as we could have done better to manage our lead.” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

TORINO - JUVENTUS 2 - 1 Andrea Pirlo (35') Matteo Darmian (45') Fabio Quagliarella (57') Sunday, April 26th, 2015 - 3:00 PM Olimpico Stadium, Turin Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Player Ratings: Torino 2-1 Juventus Apr 26, 2015 Torino came from behind to notch a historic 2-1 win over local rivals Juventus. Andrea Pirlo opened the scoring for Juve before goals from Matteo Darmian and Fabio Quagliarella earned a win for the home side. The win meant that Juve were not able to win at their rival’s home and it keeps the Granata in with a chance of European qualification. Torino Daniele Padelli – 7 – Ready - Didn’t gave the most work to do but he was confident when called upon. Made some crucial saves late on as things got nervy. Nikola Maksimovic – 6 – Solid - Ready to step out and pounce on loose balls. Did well enough in defence. Kamil Glik – 7 – Rock - Strong in air, good last ditch tackle early on. Not as threatening from set pieces as he can but still a very solid performance. Emiliano Moretti – 6 – Competent - Didn’t really catch the eye but kept Morata and Matri quiet. Bruno Peres – 6.5 – Rapid - Good pace and intent early on. The Bianconeri had no idea of how to stop him when he threw caution to wind and ran at their back line but such moments were fleeting. Marco Benassi – 6 – Average - Kept his position well and worked hard but did little of note. Alessandro Gazzi – 5.5 – Weak - Slow on the ball at times, didn’t seem alert to what was around him. Gave away the free-kick after taking a heavy first touch and clumsily bringing down his man as he attempted to redeem himself. Did the same again in the second half but that time he was spared by the post which denied Pirlo’s second effort. Made up for some of his earlier mistakes with a last-ditch tackle to stop Matri late on. Omar El Kaddouri – 7.5 – Piercing - Carried the ball well to create Torino’s second goal and almost set up the third which was ruled offside. Worked hard to track back in the nervy final minutes. Matteo Darmian – 7.5 – Outstanding - Offered an outlet going forwards on the left flank that stretched the Juve back line. Did well to keep going and score the Granata’s equaliser after seeming to waste the chance. Fabio Quagliarella – 7 – Matchwinner - Seemed to be on a different wavelength from some of his team-mates early on but showed great determination to get on the end of Darmian’s square ball and poke home to give Toro the lead. Maxi Lopez – 6.5 – Strong - Used his strength well when Torino looked under the cosh. Perhaps would have benefited from more intelligent runs from his striker partners. Won free-kicks when he was isolated and had nowhere to go. Came off to a good reception after an hour. Substitutes Josef Martinez – 6 – Relief - Came on and offered some pace as a release when Toro were pushed back late on. Giuseppe Vives – 6 – Calm - Came on and did a simple job to keep things calm admist the late tension. Cristian Molinaro – N/A Juventus Gianluigi Buffon – 6 – Average - Wasn’t responsible for either goal and did what he had to do well enough. Stephan Lichtsteiner – 5.5 – Unfocused - Too interested in attempting to block Lopez’s path on the first goal that he allowed Darmian to wander through unchallenged and he looked frustrated as time went on. Leonardo Bonucci – 6 – Mixed - Looked somewhat exposed under the high ball and looked frustrated at times but he was mostly competent. Narrowly missed the target with a header in the 76th minute from a chance to equalise. Angelo Ogbonna – 7 – Impressive - Looked composed amidst all the hate being directed his way and was arguably the Old Lady;s best defender. Simone Padoin – 6 – Quiet - Put in his usual work but did little that can be defined as impressive. Arturo Vidal – 6 – Mediocre - Bit clumsy in possession, Allegri didnt look happy with him at times. Started to exert himself more as time went on but it was too late. Andrea Pirlo – 7 – Inconsistent - Slow on the ball and looked uncomfortable early on but went on to open the scoring with an absolutely stunning free-kick. Just watched passively as Darmian ran by to score Toro’s equaliser. Led Juve’s late search for an equaliser and played some beautiful delicate passes into the area. Stefano Sturaro – 6.5 – Lively - Displayed a good level of energy and came close to finding the net twice. Seemed up for the occasion and did a better job than many of his more prestigious team-mates. Roberto Pereryra – 5.5 – Anonymous - Other than a few bursts of pace he failed to link midfield with attack in a way that put Toro under pressure. Alessandro Matri – 5 – Poor - Missed a a number of chances and generally looked a bit clumsy. Offered little in the way of link-up play. Alvaro Morata – 5 – Blunt - The Spaniard was ineffectual and did little to test the Granata before making way for Carlos Tevez. Substitutes Carlos Tevez – 6 – Energetic - Gave the side a new energy but no chances fell for him to finish. Simone Pepe – N/A Fernando Llorente – N/A http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

TORINO - JUVENTUS 2 - 1 Andrea Pirlo (35') Matteo Darmian (45') Fabio Quagliarella (57') Sunday, April 26th, 2015 - 3:00 PM Olimpico Stadium, Turin Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Torino and Juve fans clash Apr 26, 2015 Torino and Juventus fans were involved in ugly incidents before the Derby della Mole, leaving 11 injured. The game ended 2-1 for Torino at the Stadio Olimpico, but the problems occurred before it even kicked off. The Juventus team bus arrived amid a hail of missiles, including rocks, bottles, eggs and even some fireworks that were rolled under the bus to explode with a loud bang. There are images of a window on the bus that was caved in by a rock, but nobody was hurt. Inside the stadium, someone from the Juventus section threw a firework into Curva Primavera end and it went under some seats. When it exploded, it catapulted shards of plastic seating around the area, leaving 11 injured by the shrapnel. According to the latest reports, two injuries are more serious than the others, but they are not ‘code red’ problems. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111
