Serie A
Juventus Remain Unbeaten
Juventus remain unbeaten in the Serie A after another good performance against AC Milan. With Mario Mandzukic scoring and Cristiano Ronaldo adding one, it put Juventus with 34 points in Serie A. After losing to Manchester United in the Champions League, Juventus needed a win to bounce back. Ronaldo scored his eighth Serie A goal of the season, and he’s the leading top scorer for Juve.
It was Gonzalo Higuain first game against Juve since being sent out on loan by them, and let’s just say it didn’t go so well for him. Higuain had a chance to score one against Juve but was denied from the spot. Also to make matters worse in the 83 minute he received a red card.
Juventus was by far the better team on match day, they had 59% of ball possession and 15 shots. From those 15 shots they scored two goals.
AC Milan
Since 2010/11 when AC Milan last won their league title, they have lost 5 games out of 8 against Juventus. Their last win against Juve was back in October of 2016. Last weekend, AC Milan managed to keep their first League clean sheet, the last consecutive clean sheet in the League was back in March. They also managed to have 40% ball possession, with only 5 shots.
AC Milan face Juve again in January in the Super Cup, and we will see if the result will be the same.
Juventus Manager
Massimiliano Allegri after winning his second manager award he has pledged to stay at Juve “for a long time”. Allegri is aiming for a successful European campaign. He’s also lead them to remain unbeaten in Serie A.

During his time in Turin, Arturo made 171 appearances for Juve in all competitions, winning four Serie A titles and scoring 48 goals.
The question on everybody’s mind how much longer will Juventus remain unbeaten, and which team will it be.
