Having somewhat fortunately squeezed past Inter Milan in the Coppa Italia on Wednesday, Juventus travelled to Bergamo on Sunday, taking on Atalanta and confirming their grip on top spot in Serie A courtesy of a 2-0 victory.
Extra time and penalties were needed to overcome Roberto Mancini’s Nerazzurri, and the Bianconeri arrived at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d’Italia knowing closest rivals Napoli had already taken three points from Chievo on Saturday to close the gap.
Even before that, Juve boss Massimiliano Allegri had spoken to the press at his pre-match press conference, admitting an admiration for Sunday’s opponents but stressing the importance of securing another victory.
“Atalanta play good football on home soil and will make it a tricky test for us,” the coach said. “We need to maintain our lead over Napoli and a win, which is the only result available to us, would enable us to do just that.”
His players would labour throughout the game before sealing all three points. What follows is a look at the winners and losers from the game, highlighting the best and worst performances from the Serie A clash.
