Serie A: captain Rabiot still carries Juve against Monza

Published:

By: Manu Tournoux

If Juventus did not deliver the score of the century this Friday, and even trembled in sequences, Adrien Rabiot remains on cloud nine. Starting in Max Allegri’s eleven on the occasion of the 14th day of Serie A against Monza, the French international allowed his team to achieve a short success (2-1), first by scoring in the 12th minute of play, only a few moments after the missed penalty by Dusan Vlahovic.

If we thought Juve and its minimalist game would be punished after Carboni’s equalizer in the last seconds (90+3rd), the ex-Parisian took over the game immediately by delivering an offering to Gati , following a nice overflow (90+5th). Another narrow victory for the Turinese, but another major performance from the former Parisian, now accustomed to the captain’s armband since October (Danilo being injured). In the standings, the Old Lady club is provisionally leader, pending Inter’s match against Naples on Sunday (8:45 p.m.).
