Juventus struggled throughout the season, battling with itself, with an incredible 13 draws, but now they have secured their 13th victory! It is also their fifth consecutive win, bringing them just six points behind league leaders Inter. While it would be premature to talk about the “Scudetto,” given that Thiago Motta’s team is currently focused on securing a Champions League spot, they have finally learned how to win—something they demonstrated against Verona in Turin with a 2-0 (0-0) victory.7 – Khéphren #Thuram has set his new record for involvements in a season in the top-5 European Leagues: 7 (3 goals, 4 assists) – he had reached six in 2021-22 and 2022-23 with Nice. Resource. #JuventusHellas— OptaPaolo (@OptaPaolo) March 3, 2025 The Old Lady went through real ‘labor pains‘. Juventus attacked from the start and dominated possession with 76%, firing 27 shots at the opponent’s goal. However, the home crowd had to be patient before celebrating any goals. In the end, the decisive player was Khephren Thuram, who scored in the 73rd minute after an unselfish pass from Andrea Cambiaso and later assisted Teun Koopmeiners to seal the final score in the 90th minute. It seemed that Juventus was heading for a third consecutive 1-0 win, highlighting the team’s struggles with finishing chances. They also had some luck late in the first half when Tomas Suslov beat Michele Di Gregorio, but the goal was disallowed due to offside. However, based on the first 45 minutes, it was questionable whether Verona truly deserved to be in the lead. Juventus had several great chances, but Lorenzo Montipo shone with three outstanding saves, and in the 37th minute, Weston McKennie’s goal was also disallowed for offside.⚽️ GOAL: Khéphren Thuram🇮🇹 Juventus 1-0 Veronapic.twitter.com/1uXC7n4lso— GoalCentral (@GoalCentral_) March 3, 2025 ⚽️ GOAL: Teun Koopmeiners🇮🇹 Juventus 2-0 Veronapic.twitter.com/xrBEpFaKi0— Goals Xtra (@GoalsXtra) March 3, 2025 In the second half, Motta faced an even more defensive opponent, forcing him to look for solutions from the bench. At the hour mark, Koopmeiners and Alberto Costa replaced McKennie and Weah, while three minutes before the first goal, Pierre Kalulu came in for Gatti. Ultimately, it turned out to be Thuram’s night. The excellent midfielder did crucial work in the center of the pitch and was in the right place at the right time to decide the match. Juventus now sits in fourth place, two points ahead of Lazio, but they have closed the gap on the top three (Inter, Napoli, Atalanta). Next weekend, the Old Lady will have the chance to challenge for third place as they host Atalanta in Turin, a team that has been inconsistent lately.SERIE A – MATCHDAY 27Friday Fiorentina – Lecce 1-0 (1-0)/Gosens 9/Saturday Atalanta – Venezia 0-0Napoli – Inter 1-1 (0-1)/Billing 87 – Dimarco 22/Udinese – Parma 1-0 (1-0)/Thauvin 38 pen/Sunday Monza – Torino 0-2 (0-1)/Elmas 41, Casadei 66/Bologna – Cagliari 2-1 (0-1)/Orsolini 48 pen, 56 – Piccoli 22/Genoa – Empoli 0-1 (0-1)/Grassi 34/Roma – Como 2-1 (0-1)/Saelemaekers 61, Dovbyk 76 – Cunha 44/Milan – Lazio 1-2 (0-1)/Chukwueze 84 – Zaccagni 28, Pedro 90+8 pen/Monday Juventus -Verona 2-0 (0-0)/Thuram 72, Koopmeiners 90/
