00:01Whether the fans there or not, you've still got to put in the sort of performances that you need to.
00:05And I actually think the lack of fans would actually affect the smaller sides a lot more than the bigger
00:10teams.
00:11Because, I mean, imagine if you're Spadzia, you've got this big game against Juve,
00:14and in normal situations, you'd have a full house cheering you on in those areas, in those situations,
00:19and you'd sort of feed off that energy.
00:21So, you know, with Spadzia, yes, I think the lack of fans...
00:26Let's not forget, they hit the woodwork three times, in a very curious way.
00:30Dybala now, Morata has McKennie arriving, and that's into the side netting.
00:36Oh, that's how quickly things can change there, probably.
00:38I had the ball at the back there, and Juventus with the high press, and he's still trying to play
00:41a clever ball out.
00:43Talking about the deep line that the home team are playing at the moment.
00:47Oh, they're coming into that whole night.
00:49Quadrado quickly into Dybala now, Morata on the move ahead of him, Dybala has the angle.
00:55But he hasn't got the finish.
01:03Poked on by Benton Court.
01:05And look at the run here of McKennie, unselfishly tease it up,
01:10and Alvaro Morata tucks it in.
01:13Well, goal given.
01:16Alvaro Morata puts Juve in front.
01:20Unselfish play going forward there from Juventus, and a simple finish in the end.
01:29Well, it's funny, isn't it?
01:30Because when the ball is played through to McKennie, Alvaro Morata plays in an offside position,
01:34but he's not involved in that phase of play.
01:40McKennie, unselfishly.
01:44I suppose for me, I just think about the wording of the rule,
01:48and you think about interfering with play.
01:53Well, if you're offside when your team mate.
01:57And you have to say what a good job he did, and what a good job he's done there.
02:00Curious one.
02:03Vega tumbled by Benton Court.
02:11Morata, lovely interchange here.
02:14Oh, and Chiesa squeezing it wide.
02:19He should have scored, but the exquisite ball from McKennie around the corner to Morata.
02:24Now Morata driving through, really strong positive running by Morata,
02:30and it's a super finish.
02:38Well, this time the arm is raised,
02:42and offside has been given.
02:44They haven't gone to him,
02:46and that's a risky tactic.
02:49Vega's got Morata there, McKennie is there,
02:52and he's fouled Providell.
02:59Well, that was an absolutely massive gap there on this counter-attacking plate.
03:03Can't afford to do that.
03:04You have to certainly keep your discipline at the back, especially Morata.
03:15Certainly in the last 10 minutes,
03:16you can just see the amount of space now that Juventus has.
03:18That is Chiesa support there with...
03:22And Zola is on to this.
03:25Now for a moment, it looks as if Juve might even present him with a second chance.
03:30Zola teeing up Richie.
03:32It places above Frozionini in the regular season.
03:36Teeing it up here.
03:37Oh, and a deflection!
03:38It's in!
03:39Pabega deflected,
03:42and Spezia score against the champions.
03:47There's a moment
03:49that will be etched into Spezia folklore.
04:01Well, it's a brilliant counter-attacking goal there from Spezia.
04:08Just wondering if Enzalo was in an offside position,
04:10but he wasn't there because the quadrado played him.
04:12And here's Enzalo.
04:14Suddenly, they've got their tails up.
04:16Spezia.
04:18He puts his hands up there.
04:19He needed a more controlled finish, though.
04:28Bonucci clattered.
04:31That one will hurt.
04:34Just pushing the bat there.
04:36I don't really see much from Benton Curran.
04:41She's got to bear in mind with the...
04:45Head down here.
04:46Morata.
04:47McKennie in the middle.
04:48And McKennie...
04:50Oh, goodness.
04:52It was a foot race
04:53between McKennie and the two Spezia defenders.
04:59Great, great change of play in there from Morata.
05:03Julian Chabot, that was on the list as well.
05:05Good energy.
05:08Ballin.
05:18Towards goal.
05:19And selfishly tried to cross it.
05:21A lovely take by McKennie, who's drawn the yellow card from Chabot.
05:32Certainly no complaints.
05:35That's a reasonable effort from Bartolome.
05:42But here is the return of Cristiano Ronaldo.
05:46The Juve talisman having recovered from COVID-19.
05:50With just over half an hour to the league and what he wants to do for the match.
05:55Here by Spezia at the back and Ronaldo almost with...
06:00Morata.
06:01Great ball.
06:03Cristiano Ronaldo.
06:08Back from COVID-19, back in business.
06:13And Juve back in front.
06:21Well, you just can't keep him out of the headlines, can you, Cristiano Ronaldo.
06:25And it makes an immediate impact, even just before the goal, his movement and his energy levels.
06:31Brilliant ball there from Artur into Morata.
06:34Gets on the half turn and then feeds Ronaldo through.
06:38Still has a lot to do.
06:39Composes himself nicely.
06:41And it's a really well-taken goal from Ronaldo.
06:47Gets on the compliments their way, but those compliments.
06:51And again, there's another example, a glimpse of him, the authority he has on the rest of the team.
06:56That's a great header down and the goalkeeper keeps it out initially.
07:00Agudelo knocks it in.
07:01But the whistle has gone and it won't count.
07:11Look at that, the flag does go up.
07:14Only, of course, when he becomes active.
07:16The controversies of Monday night.
07:21Killed the thing here.
07:23Let's make no bones about it.
07:24I've not done the technical twib-baited breath.
07:29Off they go again.
07:30And here's Rabiot in behind.
07:32Morata's unguarded.
07:33Rabiot's going to walk it in.
07:35And it's a third goal for Juventus.
07:39As the cream finally comes to the top.
07:52Well, again, it's just another midfield run there.
07:55And it's another high line.
07:57But he does well to compose himself.
07:59The square balls for Morata.
08:00And when he cut inside there, really had to make sure he finished it well.
08:03Now this would be quite a comeback if they can manage something.
08:07But Bartolome pulls the trigger and fires it wide.
08:14He's had three chances from distance now.
08:32There was a pullback there, which the referee has let go.
08:37Bartolome may be picked up on that in a moment.
08:39Here's Chiesa.
08:41And Chiesa goes down.
08:43That's a penalty.
08:47A yellow card for good measure for the earlier challenge too.
09:01Here's confirmation of that to world's very greatest players here.
09:10Ronaldo Penenka style makes it 4-1 Juve.
09:15And he has another for this burgeoning Cristiano Ronaldo collection.
09:25This was the decision that was made there.
09:27I think it's soft.
09:30But he has come on.
09:31And he has made a real, real impact.
09:34And this is just the confidence of a world-class player.
09:38And this is just the confidence of a world-class player.
09:38Penenka down the middle.
09:40Who really threatened if football over it.
09:45Here Cristiano Ronaldo.
09:48Potentially looking for a hat-trick of course now.
09:50And he goes down.
09:55Is anybody to be punished incorrectly?
10:01Put it on, sir?
10:02I think he helped to hit the corner.
10:06Get the help.
10:07And the hit is important.
10:09Good job about it.
10:10He missed one more time.
10:12He missed one more time.
10:13He missed one more time.
10:15He missed one more time.
10:18He missed one more time.
10:18But not today.
10:194-1.
10:19In the use of Juventus.
