The champion seemed Juventus

The first stone of the Juventus Stadium was designed to nights like this. After regaining Italian hegemony few months ago, a European giant like Juventus needed relive that feeling of big European events against the best teams in the Old Continent, and now received no less than the reigning European champions, although the only thing that led to Turin Chelsea won the title last season was the memory of that encounter at the Allianz Arena. Juventus have won the game and taken a giant step towards the second round, and made ​​it 3-0 in addition to being clearly superior opponent who showed a very poor image, unworthy of a team defending the title of best team in Europe .

The match began with a surprise for each side in the starting lineup: at Juventus Giovinco was substitute, regular starter in the attack that left Vucinic and Quagliarella hands while Chelsea jumped into the field without the presence of Torres and striker born, leaving the responsibility offensive boots Mata, Hazard and Oscar, however, would have little chance of cracks three Londoners to shine in a team that barely reach the counter area with danger. Right from the start would be the intentions of both teams: bianconero all wanted the ball, while Chelsea expect their chance on the break.

Shortly took Juve in trouble Cech's goal when Lichtsteiner side took a corner to top goal forcing intervention Czech, whose deflection hit the post. But Di Matteo's team would give the reply soon after when a great play by Brazilian Oscar (which showed in how well Stamford Bridge given Juventus with this great goal ) ended just before Buffon Hazard, who failed to clear a corner . But what seemed would be an exchange of blows gave way to a monologue from Juventus, with the clear idea of possession and firm pressure when Chelsea had that barely lasted the ball in the boots of their players, with a double pivot formed by Ramires and Mikel Obi unable to create game.

The home, which had a reliable behind a good command of two lanes as Chiellini and Lichtsteiner and Asamoah protagonists of heavy wear and a great match, prompting the best off Petr Cech visitors, especially in a big shot intervention Marchisio, but could not however prevent the first goal in the 38th minute after a shot Quagliarella Pirlo who saw fit to clear just enough to unbalance the marker. Only a minute later, Cole would have to draw the line from what would have been a draw and that led to a punt against theirs ended with Mata just before Buffon, who took the ball. Two minutes frantic.

The second half did not change the arguments of the first and still locked behind Chelsea leaving the initiative to Juventus with clear ideas. Di Matteo moved tab ushering in the 60th minute for a discreet Moses Azpilicueta-half who played right-but only a minute later the Chilean Vidal, who already scored at Stamford Bridge, the second team would score Piedmont. Far from pulling the blue set in search of the comeback was Juventus who was commanding the shock and agglutinating opportunities and Torres entry was useless to avoid this scenario. Giovinco, who had entered Vucinic, scored the third in injury to initial an incontestable victory bianconera.

With the victory at Shakhtar Nordsjaelland and defeat in Turin, things will get very difficult at Chelsea: a draw on the final day between Ukrainians and Italians would be Di Matteo's team whatever you do to the Danish club. The defending champion could be left out in the group stage. Do not subtract any merit to Juventus made a great game to achieve a well deserved victory, but much more was expected of the England team and not by the idea he went to Juventus Stadium, as all styles are valid and each one plays his cards the way you think it should be more, but because Chelsea did not play anything and was surpassed in all respects: it was not strong in defense, their midfield was a passing attack and almost nonexistent. Now all they have left to win on the final day Nordsjaelland squint and what happens in Donetsk, which continues to be a difficult game for Juventus in Europe that want to rejuvenate.
