Juve punctures against Atalanta

Juventus and Atalanta had to settle for a draw in a very gray match of the team of Pirlo, inferior to a rival who went from less to more but could not take the victory. They had a lot to do with the distribution of points Gollini and Szczensy, the best on the turin stadium turf. The visiting goal stopped Cristiano from a penalty, who had disappeared throughout the game, and Juve gave up two key points in his career to settle in the top zone of the standings.

Madrid's rival in the round of 16 of the Champions, with the Papuan and Ilicic waiting his turn on the bench, he entered the game late and only reacted when he was behind on the scoreboard. The clash began with Álvaro Morata as the main protagonist. The former Madrid striker showed that he is very inspired by all the fortunes of the game except for the most important: the goal. The '9' of the Juve capitalized on the most dangerous stocks of Pirlo, who missed more game volume and threat of Cristiano Ronaldo, erratic and gray for the 90 minutes.

The goal spurred Atalanta, superior in all facets, until the referee decreed injury time. In the resumption, Juventus reacted, returning to round up the goal through Morata, who found a great Gollini in a heads-up.
