Atalanta continues their Scudetto race, while Juventus sadly departs from it, if they ever were truly in it. The crucial match for the championship title ended with a resounding 0-4. The game took place at the Allianz Stadium in Turin as the postponed match of the 28th round of Serie A. Thiago Motta’s Juventus was crushed by Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta. In the league table, the Nerazzurri are now third, 2 points behind Napoli and 3 behind Inter, with a direct clash in Bergamo next week, and 6 points ahead of fourth-placed Bianconeri, who now need to watch out for Lazio and Bologna. Juventus’s winning streak in the league ends at five matches. The goals were scored by Retegui with a penalty (22nd goal in the league), De Roon, Zappacosta, and Lookman (13th in Serie A). Humiliated Juventus fans protested and left the stadium early.
