JUVE HAT TRICK?
Juventus has been the standout team in Italy since Antonio Conte took over as coach in 2011, guiding it to two consecutive Serie A titles. It is again favored this season and has been reinforced further with the addition of top strikers Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente.
Juventus had a poor preseason, sparking hope in its rivals, but as soon as the competitive matches started it blew its opponent away in devastating fashion, crushing Lazio 4-0 to win the Italian Super Cup.
Paul Pogba broke the deadlock less than three minutes after coming on as a substitute. The match was a warning of intent to its rivals that it will be hard to prevent Juventus from completing a hat trick of Serie A titles.
