Win over Atalanta moves Juventus eight points clear at the top in Serie A
Agency StaffMilan — Cristiano Ronaldo scored two penalties as Juventus snatched a dramatic 2-2 draw against Atalanta on Saturday to take a huge step towards a ninth straight Serie A title.
“We can’t make calculations yet, we can’t take our foot off the gas until we are mathematically champions,” said Juve captain Leonardo Bonucci. Juve started brightly but it did not take long for the visitors to take control and dominate possession. Josip Ilicic fired the first real chance of the game wide, but Atalanta grabbed the lead in the 16th minute, scoring for the 25th consecutive match in all competitions.
The reigning champions were gifted a route back into the game nine minutes after halftime as Marten de Roon was penalised for handling Dybala’s cross. Ronaldo almost put Juve in front with 10 minutes to play, but visiting goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini made an excellent save to keep out the Portuguese star’s half-volley.
