There are already two consecutive editions in which Italy moves its Super Cup to Saudi Arabia. Spain will be released in January. Things of current football. Banners with the image of Cristiano Ronaldo abounded in the stands of the stadium of King Saud University, in the city of Riyadh . The name of the Portuguese was chanted in each intervention. It didn't matter that he hardly participated, that it was Paulo Dybala and Bentancur who pulled the car or even that Lazio ended up taking the title of champion (1-3). His fifth Super Cup.

The Roman team, which already defeated Juve on December 7 in the Olympic (3-1), turned the duel into a continuous correcalles. He took advantage of the spaces perfectly and knew how to resist the helpless arrivals of the Vecchia Signora in the outcome.

Juventus needed to feel Luis Alberto's initial slap to be aware that a title was being played. Until the 16th minute, when the Spanish midfielder's goal came, Lazio was a cyclone. An anarchic team, opposed to the traditional Italian style, that moves towards the rival area as if it had no own goal to defend. Its sides are extreme; their midfielders, forward. And so it is (almost) impossible to keep a result in favor.

Lulic , that left back turned into attacker, initiated the play of the first goal with a center to the second stick towards Milinkovic-Savic . He put it towards the heart of the area and there appeared Luis Alberto to define the squad. The Cadiz, who is still determined to convince Luis Enrique , was chosen as the best player in Serie A last November. Paradoxically, the advantage hurt the Roman cadre, unable to join lines and protect the result. I would end up paying.

Dybala opened his rival in channel with vertigo conduits. It is easier if there is no opposition. And the center of the Lazio field shone by its absence. Luis Alberto, Lucas Leiva and Milinkovic-Savic were trotting. A constant in the game of the Roman team, who checked out its rearguard and Juve took advantage of the present. Strakosha rejected a shot from Cristiano and Dybala came without rejection. The Turin team found the prize at the edge of the break. A revitalizing goal.

Sarri modified the system and sent Higuaín to the shower, who maintains his tangled relationship with the finals. He does not score in one since the Italian Super Cup 2014, still in the ranks of Naples. Cristiano left the band, where Ramsey was placed, and went on to occupy the battering position. Although he still didn't see the light. No auction in the second half.

But Lazio showed again that floats more comfortable if not in the game. He returned from the fierce locker room, just as the first half had begun. Theirs is the attack. And his biggest weapons are the lateral ones. Lazzari, right lane, focused on Lulic, left lane, who dropped the final whip to the net. Cataldi , in a launch of master foul in the discount, ended up crushing the party of the followers of Cristiano Ronaldo.
