AC Milan have fallen from their pedestal.
Well, not totally.
Still leaders of Serie A, the Rossonero nevertheless see their position weakened by their first defeat of the season in the league at home against Juventus, 4th.
The Old Lady won 3-1 and came back seven points behind her victim of the evening with a game behind.
Milan had not been beaten in Serie A since their loss to Genoa (1-2) in March, or 27 consecutive games (12 last season, 15 this season).
If Cristiano Ronaldo was discreet, this time it was the speed and strikes of Federico Chiesa and the regained technique of Paulo Dybala that spoke.
On a delicious heel from the Argentinian, the Italian materialized the good start in Turin with a cross strike (18th).
And after the Milan equalizer before the break, Chiesa gave the advantage back to the Bianconeri with a powerful strike close to the post (62nd), still served by Dybala.
Juve is hungry
This duo "Chiebala" made San Siro forget the pair "Moraldo" in the absence of Alvaro Morata (injured), in a team also deprived of the speed of Juan Cuadrado (Covid-19).
"It was important this match, especially to find a state of mind, we wanted to come with the state of mind of a team that wanted to control the match", explained Pirlo, welcoming in particular the performance of Adrien Rabiot, author of a good match.
"Juve are still hungry", meanwhile concluded captain Leonardo Bonucci.
