Juventus draws against Atalanta to open the title race again

Cristiano Ronaldo's two brilliant years with Juventus - AS.com

Juventus has been in a great form since they lost to Napoli in the final of the Coppa Italia 2020 in Rome. That disappointment leads to some brilliant football being played by the old lady in the recent past.

Juventus lost their match on Tuesday against Milan away from home. That was a high scoring match where six goals were scored from both the teams out of which 4 were scored by Milan and two by Juventus.

Juve had a game against one of the most entertaining sides of the league and also the highest-scoring side in Italy Atlanta at home. Atalanta before the match was at the third position on the Serie A table and also had scored 85 goals in the league the most by any team in the tournament before the match.

       






The first goal was scored by the away team in the 16th minute when their main striker Zapata scored a goal with a powerful shot. Juve came back in the second half when Atalanta conceded a penalty in the 55th minute of the match. Cristiano converted that penalty to draw the Juventus level with the away side.

Atalanta again took the lead in the 80th minute of the match and at that point, everyone thought that this will the match-winning lead for the away side. But in the last minute of the match, Muriel was penalized for a handball, and Juve was awarded the second penalty for them in the match. Ronaldo again converted that penalty and scored his 11th penalty goal of the season.

That loss of points may open the league again. Lazio also had a match against Sassuolo yesterday before the game of Juventus but they lost that 1-2 meaning that Juve is 8 points ahead of them even after their loss of points against Atalanta.

Juve still has some very tough games remaining for them like they still have to play Lazio, Roma, and Sassuolo. If Lazio can manage to win against the champions on 19th July away from home than the league will certainly be a very close one.

Uefa has announced the schedule of the champions league where Juventus will play Lyon in the round of 16 ties. Juve lost the first leg away from 1-0 and was unable to score an away goal.

They will be having a close eye on all the league matches and then the will shift all of their focus on the bigger prize.

Who do you think will win the Serie A title?

Who is the best penalty taker in the World? Ramos or Ronaldo

Penalties are often considered as the easiest way to score goals . It may seem easy while you are watching someone take it but it is not as easy as they seem to be. Especially when they are being taken by someone at a very critical point in the match or in a penalty shoot-out. Then penalties are the ones that will decide the result of that match. There have been a lot of players who got at taking penalties and a lot who sucks at taking them. The two most popular and the best in the world who doesn't have anyone who can match them are Cristiano Ronaldo and the Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos. They both have been brilliant in recent years and have decided a lot of games just by their penalties. We all know that Cristiano Ronaldo was previously playing at Real Madrid and was the teammate of Sergio Ramos. It was very difficult for any player to have a chance to bite the cherry when Cristiano was playing at Real. There were a lot of other options like Bale, Benzema, Ramos, and ma...

Image
Real Madrid is one of the best teams in Europe. They have won 33 league titles and 13 European titles in their history. They have been in breathtaking form. Real Madrid started their La Liga season 2019/20 on a high. They lost their first game after playing nine games and on the other hand their arch-rival Fc Barcelona lost their first away game of the season.

Fc Barcelona loses points against Celta to give Real an edge in the title race

Image
Fc Barcelona is a world-class team and probably one of the very best in the World. The main reason for that is obviously Lionel Messi. But their recent records and recent history are not according to their standards. Not talking here about their last few games but about the last two years. They are not playing the football they were known for. The reason for that can be the absence of players like Xavi, Iniesta, and Neymar . Xavi is probably one of the best midfielders to ever play for Barcelona or to ever play football. Likewise is Iniesta he was a master of his work. Barca misses them so much and their performances show how much they need players like them. Xavi left Barca in 2015 after the final of the Uefa champions league which they won by 3-1 against Juventus and that was Xavi's last appearance for Barcelona. Andres Iniesta left in 2017/18 season since then Barca's midfield problems have not ended. They have bought a lot of midefielders to replace them but no one...
