Like it or not, this season will revolve around Ronaldo, and Serie A will have an intense Portuguese flavor.
He was unlucky at the hand of goalkeeper Sorrentino on a few occasions, as the veteran stopper did everything he could to deny the ex-Madridista.
The nerves of the Vecchia Signora appeared once Giaccherini had scored a 56th minute penalty (2-1).
Khedira had fired Juve into an early lead before Stepinski had equalised, but the doubts were dissipated when Bani scored an own goal (2-2).
Shortly before the end, Mandzukic scored in a play that had to go through the approval process of VAR... but that ended up being canceled by the revision because of the Portuguese's handball.
At that point the match was still poised at 2-2, but fortunately for Juve, Bernardeschi came up trumps at the death (2-3).
