In the match at Luigi Ferraris, coach Max Allegri fielded a squad of many reserve players, but the away team still started the game well, playing aggressively against sampdoria. The "Old Lady" created scoring opportunities, but Mattia De sciglio, Rodrigo Bentancur and Dybala all failed to take advantage.
With more than half of the squad being players who have rarely played this season, Juventus have had difficulty deploying their playing style.
After a short period of being pressured by Juventus at the beginning of the match, sampdoria gradually regained control of the game, causing back pressure. The home team also had scoring opportunities, but on a day when veteran Quagliarella was neutralized in attack, their attackers could not convert them into goals. Therefore, the first 45 minutes were quite boring and there were no goals.
In the second half, the match scenario did not change much, Juventus was still the team that played more proactively. Just like in the first half, the away team put a lot of pressure on sampdoria's goal, unfortunately the "Old Lady"'s strikers were unlucky.
However, in the end, the audience on the field also witnessed the goals. In the 80th minute, Moise Kean accelerated to receive a pass from his teammate and then coolly finished past goalkeeper Rafael Cabral. However, the young Italian striker's goal was disallowed for offside.
In the 84th minute, Defrel coordinated with Gabbiadini to eliminate Juventus' defense before finishing past center back Rugani, who changed direction to the net under the hand of goalkeeper Pinsoglio.
After this goal, the Bianconeri raised their formation to find an equalizer, but on a day when sampdoria's defense played well, coach Max Allegri's students could not do what they wanted. In addition, in the extra time, Juventus also conceded the second goal from Gianluca Caprari's beautiful free kick. This was also the final score of the match.
Thus, at the end of Serie A 2018/2019, Juventus, Napoli (2nd), Atalanta (3rd) and Inter Milan (4th) are the teams that will represent Italy in the 2019-2020 Champions League. The three teams competing in the Europa League next season are AC Milan (ranked 5th), Lazio (Coppa Italia champion) and Roma (ranked 5th). Among them, Roma is the team that has to play in the qualifying round.
The defeat to sampdoria did not affect Juventus at all because they had won Serie A 5 rounds early. However, this defeat did not complete the day of coach Allegri's departure.
