Juventus regained a foothold on the podium of the Italian Championship by easily disposing of the red lantern Crotone (3-0) Monday at the end of the 23rd day, thanks in particular to a new double from Cristiano Ronaldo.
This unprecedented victory at home allows the Bianconeri to move forward after two consecutive losses - a first for Andrea Pirlo as a coach - against Naples (0-1) in the league then FC Porto (1-2) this week in 8th first leg of the Champions League.
Still an important distance from Inter
Facing the Calabrians without complexes, playing against thoroughly despite their last place, the Bianconeri had to wait until the end of the first period to find the fault, on two implacable heads of Cristiano Ronaldo.
At the reception of a cross from Alex Sandro for the first (38th) then Aaron Ramsey for the double (45 + 1st).

In the second half, Weston McKennie (66th) increased the score for a Crotone team who had the merit of continuing to try their luck, but in vain.

It is eight points behind the leader Inter Milan (53 pts), but still has a game behind against Napoli.
