A truly shocking turn of events unfolded at the Allianz Stadium. Juventus endured an extraordinary offensive display from Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta, who triumphed 4-0 against the Bianconeri (goals from Retegui – penalty, De Roon, Zappacosta, and Lookman). Atalanta dominated the match, showcasing superior gameplay and power against a helpless Juventus.
Adding insult to injury was the manner in which the Old Lady conceded the fourth goal to Bergamo. Dusan Vlahovic’s inconsistent season – now the second attacking option after Randal Kolo Muani’s arrival from PSG in January – is no secret. With stalled contract renewal talks and a rising salary of €12 million per year in his final contract year (expiring in 2026), the Serbian striker’s Turin adventure might conclude in the summer. He was a negative protagonist in today’s match.
Coming on in the 74th minute of the second half, replacing the French forward, Vlahovic significantly impacted today’s game, but not in a positive way. In the 77th minute, receiving the ball in midfield and attempting a pass, he slipped in a remarkably clumsy manner. This involuntary assist allowed Ademola Lookman to advance, who then proceeded to score past Di Gregorio, sealing Atalanta’s fourth goal.
Immediately after the final whistle, Vlahovic headed straight to the locker room, not joining the rest of the team who gathered under the section of the few Bianconeri fans remaining in the stadium.
