Juventus failed at the start of the season. For a long time Massimiliano Allegri brought the team out of the crisis, thus allowing rivals to break away. The old lady is not a contender for the Scudetto at the moment.bNapoli and Milan are already 16 points ahead, but at the same time their place in the top four is a big question. Juventus is currently ninth in the table with 15 points, being not four points behind fourth Roma. At the same time, the team’s performance in the last rounds, to put it mildly, leaves much to be desired. Having lost 1:2 to Verona, the old lady suffered a second defeat in a row in the championship and extended the streak without wins to three matches. At the same time, Juventus looks much more convincing in the Champions League. In the last round they managed to beat Zenit at home with a score of 4:2. The victory was the fourth in a row and guaranteed the “old lady” a ticket to the playoffs.
Barcelona are going through difficult times. After Lionel Messi left the team, the Catalans’ game is not going well, but this week the “blue garnet” beat Dynamo Kyiv for the second time in a row, and with the same score of 1:0. After four rounds, Barca moved into second place and practically closed the issue with entering the spring part of the main club tournament in Europe. In the Spanish championship, Sergi Barjuan’s charges, who is the acting head coach of the club, won four wins and draws, which brought 16 points and the ninth position in the standings. It is impossible not to note the performance of the team in the attack line, which differed 16 times. After the victory over Valencia (3:1), the guests lost twice and in the last round shared the tournament points with Alaves (1:1). Today Aguero, Braithwaite, Vahe, Roberto, Pique, Dest and Dembele, who has a muscle injury, will not be able to enter the field.
