However, there have been some problems in the game of Juventus lately. These problems were noticeable in the match of the last round, in which the “old lady” went to Genoa. Of course, Turintsy were the favorites of this meeting, but the tight schedule and the performances of the “black and white” in the Champions League made their own adjustments. Massimiliano Allegri did not release some of the leaders, including Ronaldo, Bernardeschi, Chiellini and Szczesny. The absence of the above players was noticeable in Juve’s game. Guests have not managed to inflict even a single blow towards the opponent’s goal for the entire first half, not to mention the possible scoring chances. The situation worsened even more in the second half, when in addition to scoring opportunities at the opponent’s goal, dangerous moments began to appear near the champion’s own goal. The players of Genoa led the game to a goal scored and it came, the ex-player of Juve managed to open the score, and now the midfielder of Genoa Stefano Sturaro, the Italian beautifully put the ball into the corner to the left of the goalkeeper – 1:0 in the 72nd minute. There was still enough time left until the end of the match, but the hosts’ players did not sit back in defense and continued their attacking actions near the zebras’ goal. Goran Pandev managed to put an end to the match, the Macedonian striker successfully opened and rolled the second goal into the same corner as Sturaro a few minutes earlier. The result is 2:0, the Turintians lost and the match Juventus – Empoli is approaching with the first defeat in Serie A.

The home match of the last round against Frosinone was very important for the Blues, because they met with one of the main competitors. Realizing the price of a possible victory in this game, the hosts’ players immediately went on the attack, and very soon it paid off. It turned out to open an account in the 20th minute, Francesco Caputo confidently converted a penalty kick – 1:0. Already in the next episode, the striker could make a double, the Italian ran away from the defenders and struck from the same eleven meters, but this time the goalkeeper of the guests turned out to be stronger.

Farias had a great chance to score and after the break, the attacker received a perfect pass from Caputo, but this time he failed to score – the ball went higher. At the end of the match, the hosts could pay for such a waste of time. Frosinone’s players returned the intrigue in the 70th minute, Luca Valzania was alone near the empty corner of the Empoli goal, all he had to do was get into the empty net – 2:1.
