It’s funny how football works sometimes. Juventus have been waiting for their Argentinean number ten Paulo Dybala to fulfil his potential and start producing world-class performances regularly. But that never happened.That is why Juve decided to let Dybala leave the club as soon as his current contract expires at the end of the season. They estimated that he wouldn’t be good enough to base their future upon. But on Friday night at Genoa, the former Palermo star produced a moment of magic to give Juventus the points and improve an otherwise miserable night for his soon-to-be-former team.
Shortly after the restart, Dybala curled a low right-footed shot into the net beyond the diving Salvatore Sirigu to show coach Massimiliano Allegri and Juve faithful just what they’ll be missing next season.Dybala’s strike was just about the only memorable moment from Juventus’ trip to Serie A’s 19th-placed team. Perhaps that was the story of the Bianconeri’s season as a whole. There was plenty of talent, even more expectations, but hardly anything noteworthy on the pitch – at least from them.Juventus are 𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙙 😱19th-placed Genoa score in the 87th and 96th minute to snatch all three points against the Old Lady 😳🇮🇹 pic.twitter.com/6KlLReeFak— LiveScore (@livescore) May 6, 2022 Juve conceded two late goals, including an injury-time penalty to end the night on a low note and remind Allegri of all the work he’ll have to do before the start of the next season. Juventus will qualify for the Champions League and that’s just about everything this season has given them, apart from the signing of Dusan Vlahovic, the man who could supply them with goals in years to come. They’ll lose Dybala, one of those players who can provide a spark.The result saw Genoa prolong their Serie A stay with three unexpected points.SERIE A – ROUND 36FridayInter – Empoli 4-2 (2-2)/Romagnoli 40 og, Martinez 45, 64, Sanchez 90+4 – Pinamonti 5, Asllani 28/Genoa – Juventus 2-1 (0-0)/Gudmundsson 87, Cricito 90+5 pen – Dybala 48/Saturday16:00: (3.50) Torino (3.45) Napoli (2.10)19:00: (2.40) Sassuolo (3.45) Udinese (2.90)21:45: (1.45) Lazio (4.40) Sampdoria (7.25)Sunday13:30: (6.25) Spezia (4.40) Atalanta (1.50)16:00: (2.95) Venezia (3.30) Bologna (2.45)19:00: (2.45) Salernitana (3.25) Cagliari (2.95)21:45: (4.90) Verona (3.60) Milan (1.75)Monday21:45: (2.50) Fiorentina (3.35) Roma (3.05)***odds are subject to change
