Juventus once again showed that it is in the top group of Serie A by beating Atalanta 2-0. After the resounding 5-0 win over NEC in the Europa League, coach Luciano Spalletti's team recorded a solid victory against Atalanta, partly thanks to goals from Conceicao and Bremer.
The match started with a fierce Juventus finding the net early through Kolo Muani, but his goal was rightly disallowed for offside. Juventus continued to press and took the lead after more than half an hour: Conceicao scored after a smart cross from Celik's left flank. Not much later, the first major controversy of the afternoon arose when Atalanta were denied a penalty after a clear foul by Kalulu on Rowe in the penalty area. The VAR did not intervene, much to the dissatisfaction of coach Maurizio Sarri and the Atalanta players.
After the break, Juventus remained the better team and gave little away. The 2-0 came after a well-taken corner from Zhegrova that was headed hard into the goal by Bremer. Atalanta tried through Rowe and Kristensen, but the team no longer became really dangerous. Juventus stayed upright and took the deserved victory.
Things became restless at the end of the match. Before the match, there was already a stir due to the behavior of the Juventus squad, who turned their backs to the field during the minute's silence in memory of Sandro Mazzola and sang loudly for club icons such as Scirea, Gianni Agnelli and Fortunato. Trainer Spalletti called it unacceptable afterwards: “We must treat the legends of Italian football, such as Mazzola, with respect,” the Juventus coach said at the press conference.
In addition to the commotion surrounding the tribute, there was also talk about the injuries within the Juventus selection. Spalletti mentioned Grabara's long-term injury and did not rule out that the club could sign a free agent as reinforcement. "Weto see if there are still suitable options available on the market with which we can strengthen the selection," says Spalletti.
Atalanta coach Sarri expressed his frustration with the VAR policy afterwards: “If situations like this are not seen, you might as well abolish the system,” he said. After this defeat, it is the third consecutive loss for Atalanta, which is falling further behind in the battle for European football.
The victory keeps Juventus in the lead of the Serie A top and confirms the strong form the team is in. Despite the commotion off the field, the club was able to add three important points in the hunt for the national title.
What's happening now
Juventus will now focus on their next Serie A match, where they will look to continue their good form. Atalanta, on the other hand, must quickly find a solution to their recent form crisis if they are not to fall further behind in the league. Both teams will have to revise their strategies in light of their season goals.
