PARMA – The Juventus ahead and in full control of the game. With goals from Kulusevski and of Ronaldo that takes Pele in the ranking of bomber ever, the bianconeri are annihilating Parma, who played all the first half in their half, managing very rarely to start on the break. Brilliant Ronaldo, good McKennie, essential Alex Sandro, but all of Juventus are playing very well.
THE PRESSING – Juventus raises the pace during the first quarter of an hour, reaching one frenzied pressure that crushes Parma in their half of the pitch in the middle of the first half. The Emilians who had started with a certain vivacity, retreat one meter at a time, even if at 16 ‘with Kucka have a big break and need a foot miracle on the part of Buffon to thwart Parma’s advantage. But Juventus has now moved to the Parma half of the pitch and collects shots and chances: on the 14th minute Ramsey receives an elegantly skewered ball in front of the goal. McKennie, but fails ‘hook and on 20’ Bentancur steals the ball and throws a shot that Sepe saves.
I GOAL – Then come the goals. First that of Kulusevski at 23 ‘: Alex Sandro’s low-shot cross and Morata’s deviation that frees Kulusevski at the far post. Left-handed dish of first intention of the Swede who beats Sepe and is worth the Juventus advantage. Then that of Ronaldo at 26 ‘: Morata brushes a cross in the center of the area for Ronaldo who takes off, remains in the air and bags with a strong and angled header.
