Milan V Juventus

This game may not be called the "derby of Italy", but some would claim that it should. Juventus may be the most successful club in Italy with 31 Scudetti- depending on who you speak to! However Milan have gotten greater success in Europe with 7 Champions League titles. The Milanese may have lost some shine of late but that definitely didn't show on Sunday night! They were fired up for this game as they caused Juve all sorts of trouble.

Juventus were forced to surrender a huge bulk of the possession throughout the game and spent a huge amount of time on the defensive. The star players for Juve like Paul Pogba, Andrea Pirlo amd even the " dynamic duo" of Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente were kept quiet for long periods of the game.

Milan could only muzzle these players for so long, and whereas Milan didn't take their chance, Llorente and Tevez did.

The game may have ended 2-0 in favour of the team from Turin, but one does think about how it could've ended if the enigmatic Mario Balotelli was on and Gigi Buffon was not as sharpe as he was and made a mistake as there are some people who think that he may be past his prime. His performance during Sunday's game surely would silence those critics.

One thing is for

sure, Juve did it the hard way without Arturo Vidal- and that should be a thing to think about for Antonio Conte.
