Juve got revenge on a 10-game unbeaten streak to overtake Inter Milan and become the reigning Serie A champions
In the race for the title, Juventus have taken the top spot with seven wins and two draws in their last nine games, and have put a lot of pressure on them. That change comes from Juve's last 10-game unbeaten run as they emerged from European clash and won with a sense of revenge.
Juventus will play Napoli at the Allianz Stadium in Turin for the first leg of the 15th round. With the strikers deadlocked, centre-back Gatti played as a savior, scoring the only goal of the game to secure a 1-0 win over Inter Milan and take top spot in the league. After losing Rudi Garcia, the success of this game was crucial for Juve.
When Napoli used the 433-3 strategy, Allegri stuck to the 433 strategy he knew well. As soon as the game began, the two teams went head-to-head and there were plenty of exciting collisions on the field. While Napoli had some good goals in the first half, Gatti scored a beautiful header at 51 minutes into the second half.
Juve held the defence tightly throughout, stopping several attacks from Napoli. Napoli have missed some crucial goals, which has been the main reason why they have lost three games in a row in recent times.
In the end, Juventus took a 1-0 lead over Inter and climbed to the top of the league standings. The game also saw Juventus draw 8-2 in their last 10 league matches, winning one goal in seven of those matches.
And Napoli, last season's league champions, have lost three games in a row in all competitions and are now starting to decline.
