Dec 5, 2020 Juventus hosted Torino in the famous Turin derby, otherwise known as the derby Della Mole. Marco Giampaolo’s men took a surprising early lead through Nicolas Nkoulou as the Bianconeri looked shell-shocked. But luckily for Andrea Pirlo, Juan Cuadrado saved the day with two fabulous assists as his side earned a late 2-1 win. Here are our player ratings for the encounter between Juventus and Torino. Wojciech Szczęsny – 7 The Polish goalkeeper kept Juventus in the match as he denied a second Torino goal by Simone Zaza, and was on-alert whenever called upon. Matthijs De Ligt – 6 The former Ajax captain found some trouble containing Belotti’s danger, but his strong challenge on Linetty was crucial to deny another goal for the Granata Leonardo Bonucci – 6.5 The Juventus captain – along with his fellow defenders – was having a torrid time in the first half, but ended up being the hero of derby as he notched a late winner. Juan Cuadrado – 7.5 After a forgettable first half, the Colombian wing-back was the catalyst behind the Bianconeri’s come-from-behind victory. Scored a goal that was disallowed for an offside on Bonucci, but then set up his teammates with two identically brilliant crosses for the goals. Dejan Kulusevski – 5 The young Swedish is not enjoying his best period at the moment, and tonight he failed to infiltrate inside the Torino box when Juventus where in desperate need for a player with his skill-set. Paulo Dybala – 5 Speaking of Juve players who are having a difficult moment, La Joya once again failed to impress this season. He did set up Chiesa on one occasion, but aside from that his usual brilliant touch was nowhere to be seen. Cristiano Ronaldo – 6 The Portuguese legend’s impressive scoring run was put to a halt as he suffered in the absence of a true striker like Alvaro Morata beside him, and was well-marked by the Granata defenders all night. Weston Mckennie – 7 The hard working American was the unlikely scorer for the goal that brought his side back to the match. Alex Sandro – 6 The Brazilian left-back immediately provided to be an improvement on his compatriot Danilo. ........

Both clubs have already qualified for the Champions League Round of 16, so this is purely to decide who wins the group.

In order to go top, Juve have won win by three clear goals or by any two-goal margin other than 2-0. Ronaldo is raring to go in his first game against Barcelona and old rival Messi since joining Juventus, and he is supported by on-form Morata. Arthur faces his former club, but Juan Cuadrado and Aaron Ramsey are used as the wingers, with Danilo and Alex Sandro as full-backs.

Ronaldo tested Marc-Andre Ter Stegen early on and Danilo blasted wide, but Ronald Araujo got into a tangle when trying to tackle CR7 in the area and gave away a penalty.

It was the first time ever that Barcelona had conceded two goals at home in the opening 20 minutes of a Champions League tie. The 2-0 result was not enough, and Juve needed one more to take top spot from the Blaugrana. Martin Braithwaite came on for Francisco Trincao to give the hosts a little more presence in the box, and Messi fired straight at Buffon. However, Clement Lenglet stuck out an arm to stop McKennie firing in from close range, it came to Ramsey and Ter Stegen made a stunning save. When viewed on VAR, the penalty was inevitable and Lenglet was very fortunate not to get a second yellow card. Ronaldo converted the spot-kick again, this time sending Ter Stegen the wrong way to fire into the near bottom corner, and 3-0 put Juve top of the group. It was an even more incredible result considering Barca were unbeaten in 25 Champions League group games, going back to November 2016 against Manchester City. Juve also became the first ever Italian side to score three away goals at Camp Nou. Buffon was again decisive on Messi, with Braithwaite firing over on the rebound, even if he was also offside. Barcelona were awarded a penalty for a foul on Griezmann, but it was neutralised by his own offside position. The offside flag was also up on 76 minutes when Leonardo Bonucci bundled over the line from a Ronaldo lay-off on a corner, but for a moment Juve thought they were 4-0 up at Camp Nou. .........

"Barcelona are going through a difficult time, but it is still Barcelona," Ronaldo said. "The truth is that we are very happy, we knew it was an almost impossible mission, it was a complicated mission and we played well.

Andrea Pirlo’s side will be looking to continue their recent form, having won in the Derby della Mole against Torino last time out in Serie A before clinching top spot in their Champions League group with a big win away to Barcelona in midweek.

Genoa: Perin; Goldaniga, Bani, Masiello, Pellegrini; Lerager, Rovella, Radovanovic, Sturaro; Scamacca, Pjaca.

This was Cristiano Ronaldo’s 100th competitive game in the Juventus jersey. Adrien Rabiot had the ball in the net within 90 seconds, but he’d used his arm after Leonardo Bonucci knocked on the free kick and the midfielder was booked. Mattia Perin made a good reaction save on Weston McKennie’s header and Rodrigo Bentancur drilled wide from a promising position, but while Juve were dominating possession, they had very few actual shots on goal. Another McKennie header on a corner sailed over and Paulo Dybala’s curler was too close to Perin, as Juve attacked constantly in the first half, but without creating many genuine chances. Genoa 0-0 Juventus (Half-Time) Genoa: Perin; Goldaniga, Masiello, Bani, Pellegrini; Lerager, Radovanovic, Rovella, Sturaro; Pjaca, Scamacca Juventus: Szczesny; Cuadrado, De Ligt, Bonucci, Alex Sandro; McKennie, Bentancur, Rabiot, Chiesa; Dybala, Cristiano Ronaldo Ref: Di Bello Continue -> https://bit.ly/3gH7ogC Condividi questo messaggio Link di questo messaggio Condividi su altri siti

The Bianconeri were fresh from their best performance of the season, beating Barcelona 3-0 at Camp Nou, but had struggled against smaller clubs. This was Cristiano Ronaldo’s 100th competitive game in the Juventus jersey. Adrien Rabiot had the ball in the net within 90 seconds, but he’d used his arm after Leonardo Bonucci knocked on the free kick and the midfielder was booked. ......... The deadlock was finally broken for both Juve and Dybala with his first Serie A goal of the season. McKennie flicked on a long ball with his head for Dybala, who cut inside from the right and drilled left-footed in the near bottom corner, wrong-footing both Perin and the defender. However, Genoa equalised moments later with a combination of ex-Juventus players. Luca Pellegrini floated a cross to the back post for Stefano Sturaro’s cushioned volley from the tightest of angles. Dybala thought he’d scored another with an overhead kick when Ronaldo’s effort was parried into his path, but La Joya was offside and it was the second Juve goal disallowed. Perin was decisive with a reaction save from point-blank range on Ronaldo’s header, but Genoa gave away a penalty with Rovella’s mistimed lunge on Cuadrado and CR7 celebrated his 100th game in the Juve jersey by converting a central but powerful penalty. Genoa shot themselves in the foot again, as Alvaro Morata intercepted the terrible Pellegrini backpass and was brought down by Perin. Ronaldo converted this penalty too, firing it into the roof of the net. Genoa: Perin; Goldaniga, Masiello, Bani, Pellegrini; Lerager, Radovanovic (Pandev 82), Rovella (Caso 82), Sturaro (Behrami 66); Pjaca (Shomurodov 73), Scamacca (Destro 66) Juventus: Szczesny; Cuadrado, De Ligt (Dragusin 90), Bonucci, Alex Sandro; McKennie, Bentancur, Rabiot (Morata 67), Chiesa (Kulusevski 83); Dybala (Bernardeschi 83), Cristiano Ronaldo Ref: Di Bello Continue -> https://bit.ly/3a7ZTOw Condividi questo messaggio Link di questo messaggio Condividi su altri siti

Ronaldo kept his cool late on to convert two spot-kicks following Genoa defensive errors. “The objective is to win, always. It was a difficult game, personal records are pleasing, but the objective is the three points for the team,” Ronaldo told Sky Sport Italia. It followed up their 3-0 Champions League triumph at Camp Nou, which allowed them to top their group. “The win in Barcelona was very important, because to beat a side like that on their own turf really boosts confidence and belief. We saw the results here tonight. ........... Continue -> https://bit.ly/3gJb4yn Condividi questo messaggio Link di questo messaggio Condividi su altri siti

The Bianconeri had to rely on two late Cristiano Ronaldo penalties to finally get the better of Genoa after Stefano Sturaro had cancelled out the Dybala opener. “The attitude was the most important thing and we had to cancel the Barcelona game from our minds,” the coach told Sky Sport Italia. “We were against a team that wanted to close up and defend, so we needed patience to get the breakthrough, but also the right attitude to attack them and press them into making errors. “It was annoying to concede a goal at literally the first shot on target, especially a few minutes after we broke the deadlock, but we recovered from it.” Many had expected Alvaro Morata to start today after his two-match ban was halved on appeal, but Pirlo kept the faith with La Joya, who got his first Serie A goal of the season. “Paulo needed this goal to break through both psychologically and physically. He did well in the two phases today and we are happy for him. “His performances have been improving recently and he deserved this goal, we’re very pleased for him.” ...........
