Juventus returned from the international break over the weekend, and while it wasn?t the best performance they were able to get three points in a game against Lazio in which they were far from being full strength. It is no secret that Juventus? stretch of games between the October and November international breaks is going to be quite intense. There are seven fixtures in just over three weeks, with not a lot of time to rest but plenty of tough opposition seemingly around every turn.
Saturday night saw the start of that stretch.
And while the performance wasn?t great on the whole ? no matter if it was against 11 men or 10 after Lazio?s Alessio Romagnoli was sent off midway through the first half ? Juventus avoided yet another scoreless draw. Sometimes you need a little luck to go your way ? and that certainly was the case against Lazio at the Allianz Stadium.
