Robin van Persie scored a hat-trick, and he completely sealed the victory.
In the next few minutes, although Atletico Madrid still attacked fiercely, they were unable to recover.
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the 3-0 on the scoreboard made Juventus players and fans excited!
After three games without a win, they finally ushered in their first win in the Champions League this season!
After this game, the standings of Group G changed rapidly.
Juventus, with one win and three draws, has reached the top spot with 6 points; Atletico Madrid and Shakhtar Donetsk, with 5 points, are ranked second and third, and Porto, with only 4 points, continues to be at the bottom of the group.
Four rounds of the group stage have been carried out, and the qualifying situation for the teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern, and Manchester United is now a foregone conclusion, but the qualifying situation for Group G is still unclear.
Juventus, who are first in the group, and Porto, who are at the bottom of the group, are only two points apart. The outcome of any subsequent game may cause earth-shaking changes in the standings.
However, even though the group stage was chaotic, Juventus, which finally won its first Champions League victory, finally returned to the top of the group.
Facing Atletico Madrid, the opponent they least wanted to face in the group, Juventus won one and drew one, and their results were pretty good, as long as they don't make mistakes in the next games. Then there is no problem in qualifying for the group. And Juventus now has an advantage, that is, the last three games are all played at home, so they can avoid the fatigue of traveling.
The Champions League group stage ended on November 2, and the Serie A will continue on the weekend on November 5.
In this round of competition, Juventus easily defeated Palermo in an away game. The 2-0 score was just a reflection of Juventus' bad luck.
In the twelfth round of Serie A a week later on November 12, Juventus played against Fiorentina at home. This was a very important game.
Fiorentina ranked ninth in Serie A last season, very close to the European competition. However, they had a bad start this season. They are now ranked 13th, only a few points above the relegation zone, and they have been in the first few games. In the twelve rounds of games, several teams in the relegation zone have all won, and now Florence is only one step away from relegation.
Therefore, in this game, although there is a huge gap in strength between Fiorentina and Juventus, they worked hard in this game and put on a posture that they must win Juventus and were ready to go!
In this way, for neutral fans, today's game will definitely be quite enjoyable.
This game attracted countless fans to watch. The Juventus Arena was already overcrowded, and even the square outside the stadium was packed with fans. Even though the weather had turned cooler, it still could not stop the enthusiasm of the fans.
Not only that, in the TV broadcast, the ratings of this game set a new high in Serie A this season, attracting the attention of countless fans!
For many non-Serie A fans, they don't quite understand.
This is just an ordinary Serie A game. Why does it receive such high attention?
But for Juventus fans and even Serie A fans, this game is of great significance!
Because this game is likely to be a record-breaking one!
Since Juventus achieved an 8-0 victory in the first round of this season, in the following series of games, Juventus achieved a complete victory with overwhelming power, with overwhelming offensive power!
What is even more impressive is that behind the ten consecutive league victories, Juventus has not lost a single goal!
This is a very remarkable result!
You must know that in the modern football environment, the balance of offense and defense is getting worse and worse, good defenders are becoming less and less, like a rarity, and good goalkeepers are even more rare.
Behind Juventus's ten consecutive victories is not only their extremely powerful offensive line, but also the important contributions of world-class defense.
Among these outstanding defensive players, Bianconeri vice-captain Buffon is the most dazzling one!
As of now, his save success rate in the league is firmly at the top of the list. He has not conceded a goal in ten games, and Buffon has scored one for the first time!
Today's game has extremely special meaning for Buffon.
Because in the history of Serie A, the holder of the clean sheet record is Sebastiano Rossi.
In the 1994 season, Rossi, who was playing for AC Milan at the time, set a Serie A record of 929 consecutive minutes without conceding a goal, breaking the record set by legendary Italian goalkeeper Dino Zoff in 1973. And with his outstanding performance, he won five Serie A championships, a Champions League championship, three Italian Cup championships and a European Super Cup championship for Milan.
Now Rossi is the goalkeeper coach of the Milan youth team, and the glory of the red and black achievements of a generation will always be remembered by the world.
Today, November 12, 2011, Buffon is only one step away from breaking this record.
In the past eleven games, Buffon has not conceded a goal. Subtracting the time when he did not start during the rotation break, he has not conceded a goal for 900 consecutive minutes. If Fiorentina cannot score in the first thirty minutes of this game, then Buffon will set a new record and engrav his name on the highest peak of Italian football!
When things were not as good as on the pitch, Buffon became the Juventus player who received the most attention from reporters. Countless microphones flocked to him, wanting to hear his opinion on the matter.
"Buffon, you are only one step away from breaking Rossi's record. Can you succeed?"
"Buffon, do you think you are the best goalkeeper in Serie A and even international football?"
"Buffon, are you nervous about this game? Are you worried about making mistakes?"
Countless reporters asked questions, trying to open Buffon's mouth.
However, Yun Sheng pushed aside the reporters on the left and right, put his arm around Buffon's shoulders and walked forward, ignoring the reporters at all.
Speed followed closely with several pieces of information, but Cannavaro stopped and came to the reporters.
This was arranged by Yunsheng. Cannavaro is a famous Italian star. With him here, he is enough to deal with reporters.
Facing the hustle and bustle of reporters, Cannavaro said loudly: "You all, please lower your voices and listen to me!"
As soon as the words came out, the reporters shut up and listened to Cannavaro speak.
Cannavaro cleared his throat and looked at all the reporters with a very serious and serious expression.
"In this game, your focus is on Buffon, I understand. To be fair, I am also very concerned about whether Buffon can break this record. But even though the game is changing rapidly, I still have full confidence in Buffon! He definitely has it. Ability creates miracles!”
After saying this, Cannavaro showed a confident smile on his face: "Guys, I suggest you not to focus on asking me now. If I were you, I would prepare the manuscript now. Because A new record is about to be born!”
Cannavaro turned and walked towards the player tunnel. A young reporter behind him still refused to give up and asked loudly.
"Cannavaro, do you think Buffon is the best goalkeeper in Serie A now?"
Cannavaro stopped, looked back at the reporter who asked the question, and shook his head.
The reporter asked in surprise: "Buffon has been a miracle worker this season. Isn't he considered the best goalkeeper in Serie A?"
Cannavaro replied categorically: "He is not the best goalkeeper in Serie A, he is the best goalkeeper of this era! No one!"
