Juventus benefited in a playfully moderate second leg from a turbulent start phase, which peaked in the 17th minute in a red card against Milans Ante Rebic. Immediately before Rebic’s fight against Danilo, Cristiano Ronaldo put a penalty for the home team on the bar.
It wasn’t the day of the Portuguese superstar. However, this had already met in the first leg in Milan. Even then, Juve had been awarded a controversial penalty for handball, which Ronaldo had used in the 91st minute to 1-1.
The Coppa Italia final will be held in Rome next Wednesday. The opponent of the “old lady” will be determined on Saturday (9:00 p.m.) between SSC Napoli and Inter Milan. The Neapolitans had won the first leg 1-0. Serie A will then resume play on June 20. Twelve laps are still pending.
Restart brings some normalcy
Resuming game play without spectators is said to bring some normalcy to a country that has been hard hit by the Covid 19 pandemic. Numerous Serie A players were also affected. Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini thought of death, he felt so bad. At Juventus, some top players like Paulo Dybala were positive.
Government relaxes quarantine rules
According to overriding media reports on Friday, the quarantine rules in Italian football should be relaxed. Accordingly, the government has approved a regulation for possible CoV infections, as it also applies in Austria and Germany after the resumption of professional leagues.
Accordingly, if the test is positive, the entire team no longer has to be in quarantine for 14 days, only the person concerned. The rest of the team can continue to train and play – assuming negative test results. There was initially no confirmation from government circles for this.
