Massimiliano Allegri's side have 17 points, two behind Inter Milan and one behind AC Milan who play Genoa later on Saturday. That doesn’t preclude us from looking at other things, because naturally, we are Juventus," he told DAZN. "We must keep our feet on the ground and bring back what for many years was normality at Juventus, in other words winning games." Substitute Milik doubled the lead after 62 minutes with a header from another corner, which Torino keeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic misjudged. "We should’ve gone for the shot to finish off the moves and not allow Torino to stay in the game when they were struggling."

În ultimul său meci din anul curent, Juventus Torino a fost spulberată pe teren propriu de formația Fiorentina scor, 0-3. Înfrângerea suferită în etapa a 14-a a fost prima pentru deținătoarea titlului în actuala ediție din Serie A. Dusan Vlahovic a deschis scorul în minutul 3. Arbitrul central a consulat sistemul VAR și i-a arătat columbianului cartonașul roșu, după ce în prealabil a scos doar galbenul. Oaspeții și-au dublat avantajul în minutul 76, când Alex Sandro a deviat balonul în propria poartă. Cele 3 cluburi sunt la 7 puncte distanță de liderul AC Milan, care va întâlni diseară pe Lazio Roma.
