Luck has smiled on Juventus at the end of the Serie A season. They have managed to sneak a miracle into the Champions League positions and close the course with better news than they expected, although it is expected that there will be a new revolution in the club that will end, among other things, with the dismissal of Andrea Pirlo as coach . For now, the ‘Old lady’ smile because, against all odds, the year is not ending as badly as they thought.
Those of Turin did not depend on themselves to qualify for the Champions League. They started the last day of ‘Calcio’ in fifth position, behind Inter, Atalanta, Milan and Napoli. To achieve the feat, they had to beat Bologna and pray for a ‘puncture’ from one of their rivals. Well, the match hardly started at the Renato Dall’Ara stadium, those of Pirlo, without Cristiano Ronaldo on the field, they joined the attack and scored a massive victory by four goals to one, but it was still not enough.
Before game time, Juve was smiling because Napoli was drawing against Hellas Verona, but a goal from Amir Rrahmani changed history and, although the ‘bianconeri’ won, they were out of the Champions League. However, as if they were destined to participate in the toning, nine minutes later Marco Faraoni returned to sign the tables at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium to do Juventus a great favor.
So even though the ‘Vecchia Signora’ has signed a disappointing season and Andrea Pirlo has left his position as coach big, they have fulfilled their duties (in extremis) and are in the Champions League. However, the taste in the mouth is more bitter than ever because the team’s performance was more disputed than ever, Inter ended their dynasty in Italy and Porto eliminated them from the UCL in the round of 16. They have only been able to celebrate the Coppa d’Italia and the Super Cup.
A new CR7 record
Although he did not play against Bologna for a minute, Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved a new record to continue to stomp in the history of football. The Portuguese star added in this campaign with Juventus 29 goals in Serie A and has ended up being the top gunner in the competition, ahead of Romelu Lukaku (24, Inter), Luis Muriel (22, Atalanta), Dusan Vlahovic (21, Fiorentina).
The amazing thing is that he has become the first player in history to be the top scorer in three different leagues, considering that he did it with Manchester United, Real Madrid and now with Juventus. So that, He has reigned in the Premier League (2007-08), LaLiga (2010-11, 2013-14 and 2014-15) and Serie A (2020-21).
