Match

Juventus tear Monza apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against Monza, and it could have been more.

Match

Full time on the season at Juventus

Position 1 on 93 points. Every season is a story and this is the last line of it, and now the club has three months to decide what the next one is about.

Loan watch

23 goals on loan for Loïs Openda

33 appearances at Olympique Lyonnais and the goals keep coming. Juventus are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

Squad

Defences have started doubling up on Kenan Yıldız

23 goals and a season average of 7.26 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Player ratings

A defender's goal wins it for Juventus — 7.57

1 for Teun Koopmeiners, marked 7.57, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Squad

A falling-out at Juventus

Bremer and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The terraces

Juventus supporters have found a favourite in Raffaele Aresini

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 18-year-old it feels ownership of. Raffaele Aresini has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Player ratings

Khéphren Thuram was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.25. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

The dugout

When it matters, Bremer plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Match

Juventus make home a hard place to visit

20 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Match

The view from the top for Juventus

79 points, and the rest of the division looking up. Every side that finishes first spends the season pretending it is not thinking about it, and this one has started pretending.

Match

Juventus make it 7 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Juventus have 7 straight wins of it.

Loan watch

Loïs Openda keeps scoring at Olympique Lyonnais

29 appearances away from home and 20 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

Market

Bremer wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Market

Only the photograph left for Giacomo Faticanti

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Giacomo Faticanti will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Juventus the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Tempers go at Juventus

Bremer was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Real improvement from Raffaele Aresini at Juventus

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Raffaele Aresini is 18, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Match

Juventus find a way past Genoa

Genoa made Juventus work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.
