It’s been a tough start for Italy’s Champions finding themselves down in the 15th position with just 1 victory this season. The wake up call is urgent for Juventus to start winning as the dream to win their 5th Consecutive Scudetto seems now an impossible dream considering the big gap with Fiorentina and Inter in the first position having 15 points. On paper, Juventus favorite to win, but, nowadays, we never know….
Surprise, surprise…. Bologna freezing the Juventus stadium! Imagine, just in the 5th minute and Bologna opening the score. Forward Anthony Mounier making his way to deliver a left footed shot defeating Juventus goalkeeper Gigi Buffon inthe center, The assist is by defender Adam Masina.
