Juventus seems to have thrown in the towel in the battle for the national title. It was Monday evening la Vecchia Signora at home, unable to overcome an early 0-1 deficit against Udinese. The defeat leaves the gap to Inter, which also has a game in hand, as much as seven points.

Juventus – Udinese 0-1

Massimiliano Allegri could not have played without Moise Kean, Dusan Vlahovic and Danilo, among others. Things went wrong relatively early in the match for Juve, who unexpectedly fell behind after 25 minutes of play. Udinese defender Thomas Kristensen headed home from a free kick from the right, but keeper Wojciech Szczesny initially made the save. Lautaro Giannetti scored from close range from the rebound: 0-1.

Juventus then emphatically looked for the equalizer and kept the pressure on the enemy goal continuously high, although the Turin team lacked fortune in finishing. Arkadiusz Milik thought he could score, although his goal was disallowed. Ultimately, the deficit against number seventeen could no longer be erased.
