Right?

RIGHT?!!? It was one of those games we’ve seen in 2026 where Juventus did everything right except score more goals than their opponent. At least they didn’t lose, but a 1-1 draw against Hellas Verona, who will be playing in Serie B next year is not going to cut it in a race like this.

One elementary error gave Verona a shocking lead against the run of play, Juve dominated the flow of the game, but only hit the target with seven out of 29 shots, and of those only a free kick by Dusan Vlahovic could get past Verona’s Lorenzo Montipò. Admittedly, Montipò made multiple saves, including two in the span of about 40 seconds, that were of a quality approaching the absurd, but to not be able to break through for three points against such lowly opposition is a massive missed opportunity. Now, with three games left in the season, Juve are all of one point ahead of Roma, who jumped Como into 5th place after thoroughly destroying Fiorentina on Monday.

They still control their own destiny, but the margin for error is now zero as they head into next week’s match against Lecce. How did the players who hit the field do in this disapoointing contest? Let’s take a closer look.
