Juventus has found both Cristiano Ronaldo and the taste for victory on Sunday against the promoted La Spezia (4-1), with two goals from the Portuguese star for his return to business after his quarantine due to Covid-19.
After three draws in a row in the league, on the pitch, this success on behalf of the 6th day of Serie A allows Juve to temporarily climb to 2nd place in the standings pending the match between Napoli and Sassuolo.
Rabiot also scores
With CR7, everything becomes easier for coach Andrea Pirlo: entered after ten minutes of play in the second half while the Bianconeri (in orange on Sunday) were hung 1-1, the Portuguese took only three minutes to find the net path, well served by Alavaro Morata.
And the indisputable boss of Juve did not leave anyone the task of transforming, with a panelka full of authority, the 4-1 penalty obtained by Federico Chiesa (76th), after Adrien Rabiot had in the meantime made the break solo, like an attacker (68th).
Until Ronaldo came into play, instead of a Dybala still far from his best level, everything had been more complicated for Juventus.
The Italian champions had certainly opened the scoring by Morata (14th), at the conclusion of a nice collective movement, but had also spoiled too much, allowing Spezia to equalize on one of his rare forays, by Tommaso Pobega (32nd), whose deviation left no chance for Gianluigi Buffon.
