Juventus-Milan off the pitch: the club criticized and Di Maria booed

Without pride, emptied and contested bianconeri: the football played was only a side dish to the evening

The elimination suffered at the hands of Sevilla in the Europa League . Then, immediately after, two more blows: the sentence that takes away 10 points in the standings, followed a couple of hours later by the disastrous performance against Empoli. Juventus that shows up for the appointment against Milan is empty. A hollow body that can no longer be filled with anything except pride. Even that, however, is fading. With tiredness, with the endless turbulence that characterized the entire season and also with the uncertainty that invests the future. The Stadiumhe has the same state of mind as the players: there are 40,231 spectators, before kick-off ample space is given to a choreography that recalls Juventus, but during the match the feeling of watching a friendly, even rather indigestible.

Juve-Milan field just a side dish

Juventus-Milan thus becomes a sort of showdown and what happens on the pitch is only a side dish to the evening, wrapped in the most total discouragement. In the first half the black and whites show timid signs of awakening, but in the first shot they are punished by Giroud 's headbutt, good at taking advantage of Gatti 's sleep . And people's patience begins to crumble, almost as if the end of the season is the only thing everyone is looking forward to, much more than a goal. It never occurs to anyone that the match against the Rossoneri could be decisive in terms of the Champions League , because after all even the most optimistic fan is resigned to having to live a year without Europe.
