In early October, Juventus were awarded a 3-0 victory over top rival Napoli when the guests did not come to Turin.

The local authorities in Naples had advised the team not to go as they had corona falls in the squad.

Napoli then appealed the decision and with only hours left until Juve's home match against rival Fiorentina, they were right.

The match will be played and Juventus thus got rid of three points already given.

It was the first bang of the night, but not the last.

When they then met Fiorentina at home, the guests made it 1-0 after only three minutes when Franck Ribery found Dusan Vlahovic.

Shortly afterwards, Juventus full-back Juan Cuadrado received a direct red card when he stamped Gaetano Castrovilli ugly.

During the last quarter of the match, 2-0 and 3-0 came through an own goal by Alex Sandro and a goal by the former Juve player Martin Caceres.

- It may happen that you start thinking about time off in the last match before Christmas.

We were sluggish and unfocused, so we lost, says Andrea Pirlo.

Swedish Dejan Kulusevski was replaced with just over a quarter left to play.

Juventus are four in Serie A, seven points behind league leaders Milan.
