Not yet convincing, but Juventus are starting to get into the rhythm with a third straight win in 2021. With one game in hand, the old lady maintained last night (Sunday) the 7-point gap from the leaders Milan after a 1: 3 home win over Sesotho, while in the next round the Derby d’Italia awaits them against Inter.
The champion needed very late goals from Arun Ramsey and Cristiano Ronaldo to secure the victory, this after Danilo’s advantage goal which was also selected as the best in the game. By the way, Ronaldo, who leads the goalscoring table in Italy with 15 conquests, is one goal away from the goals of the legendary Michel Platini at Juventus (68). He also recorded a tremendous record when he became the only player in history to score at least 15 goals in 15 consecutive seasons in one of the top five leagues in Europe.

The coach commented on the ability: “We are Juventus so the pressure is on us in every game. It was important to win and keep up the momentum, otherwise the win over AC Milan would not mean anything. It is important that we got the points, but we were very unorganized and we need to get better. “After we had a numerical advantage. In any case, what matters is the victory, despite the rush.”
Paulo Dybala is the second Juventus player to be forced off in the first half of their game against Sassuolo due to injury.
