Juventus Player Ratings: Cristiano Ronaldo the saviour

Published on: 29 December 2018

VAR was at the centre of the battle between Juventus and Sampdoria at the Allianz Stadium in Serie A’s Saturday lunch match, wherein the Old Lady just about ran out 2-1 winners.

Samp were the first to profit from referee Paolo Valeri taking a second look at a corner that ended up being handled by Emre Can, then awarding a penalty for the visitors.

Juve had their own penalty awarded for a more controversial call in the second half and Marco Giampaolo’s side were ultimately victims of the technology’s implementation, with Riccardo Saponara having a goal chopped off in time added on.
