    Thanks very much for joining us this evening and see you again soon!
  • 91'
    It's all over in Naples and Napoli have been held to a 1-1 draw!! Juve make the CL and Milan won 0-2 so AC and Juve get the CL and Napoli drop into the EL.
  • 91'
    Chiesa and Morata scored in the first half and Morata and Rabiot and Morata added goals in the second period. Orsollini pulled one back for Bologna as a consolation, but Juve were far too good.
  • 91'
    AC Milan make it 02- but that changes nothing. Only a Napoli goal will see Juve miss out.

    The Juve bench including Ronaldo have found out the news.

    Napoli have scored against Verona and that's bad for Juventus. They will now be out.

    Juventus double sub: Arthur and McKennie on for Chiesa and Chiellini.
  • 58'
    Bologna triple sub: Vignato, Skov and Medel are off, Sansone, Antov and Orsollini on.
  • 57'
    Morata!!! Cuadrado's ball from the far side picks out Morata at the back post and he hits the sidenetting. So nearly his hat-trick.
  • 56'
    AC Milan are still winning 0-1 and Napoli is still goalless.
  • 56'
    Vignato has a go and it's easy for Szczesny.
  • 53'
    Morata wants a penalty for handball as his shot is saved by Soumaoro, but the ref says no!
  • 52'
    Dybala hits wide of the goal!
  • 51'
    Pirlo's men are looking for another here. They aren't letting up. It all depends on whether Napoli win or not. It's still 0-0.
  • 49'
    Juventus attack again and hit wide!
  • 48'
    The goal is given!! The VAR spots he was clearly on from the long punt forward.
Goal disallowed

  • 47'
    Alvaro Morata scores after he gets on the end of a long pass from the keeper and the GK can't keep it out. The flag is up, but that should have been saved.
Goal disallowed

Goal disallowed

  • 46'
    Palacio scores within seconds of the kick-off after being played in by Svanberg, but the flag is up! Clearly off.
  • 45'
    Juve HT sub: De Ligt is replaced by Bonucci.
  • 45'
    HT: Bologna 0-3 Juventus!! Half-time in Bologna and that was an emphatic first half display by Juventus. After a decent Bologna start, Chiesa put Juve ahead after six minutes and there was no looking back after that. Alvaro Morata made it two after 29 minutes and Rabiot sealed the points right on HT. Juve need AC or Napoli not to win to get CL and the former are winning, but the latter are drawing 0-0. Back shortly!
  • 45'
    One added minute. Juventus are cruising here, but it will be all for nothing if Napoli score.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Juventus en el 45'
  • 45'
    Rabiot gets a third for Juventus! Lovely one touch football featuring Chiesa and Kulusevski and Rabiot beats Skorupski!
  • 43'
    Gary Medel has his name taken for pulling Dybala's arm. That was very cynical.
  • 42'
    What are Juve doing?? The GK passes it to Danilo and he passes it back to the GK and the ball goes wide for a corner! Stupid.
  • 41'
    Barrow has a shot from outside the target, but he can't find the target.
  • 38'
    De Silvestri gets a corner off De Ligt.
Card

Yellow card

a Juventus
  • 37'
    Alvaro Morata is booked for a foul on Medel. It was a poor and late tackle.
  • 34'
    De Ligt is getting treatment on his leg.
  • 33'
    Bologna get a corner, but nothing comes of it.
  • 31'
    I can't see Bologna coming back from this. It all depends on what happens in Naples and Bergamo. Juve are doing their job.
  • 30'
    VAR confirms the goal and Juve are two up. Morata was well on actually.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Juventus en el 29'
  • 29'
    Juve score, but it looks offside!!! Dybala gets the ball and goes past the defender before squaring for Morata who heads home!! I think Morata is just ahead of the ball.
  • 28'
    Vignato makes is way into the Bologna area, but is then dispossessed. Still no goals in the Napoli and AC Milan games.
  • 26'
    Free-kick to Bologna as Kulusevski pulls back Palacio and the Juve man doesn't like the call.
  • 25'
    A Juve attack sees the ball go into the area and Skorupski bats away!
  • 22'
    Schouten has a pop from distance, but it's straight at the goalkeeper.
  • 21'
    Palacio is caught on this near side and it's a free-kick on this near side. Chiesa ends up dealing with the set-piece.
  • 19'
    Palacio's cross into the box is caught by the keeper.
  • 17'
    Cuadrado's cross into the area is headed away by Tomiyasu.
  • 14'
    Bologna are having the odd attack, but nothing to really trouble the keeper.
  • 11'
    Svanberg tries an overhead kick inside the area, but hits it over the goal.
  • 10'
    Kulusevski threatens once again down this near side and does everything but get the shot off.
  • 9'
    Bologna started well, but Juventus are now comfortable.
  • 7'
    Kulusevski goes forward again, but then is penalised for a foul.
  • 7'
    So Juve are doing their job. They just need Napoli or AC Milan not to win. They are both still 0-0 so Napoli would miss out on CL as it stands.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Juventus en el 6'
  • 6'
    Juventus take the lead inside six minutes through Chiesa!!! A long ball is sent by Danilo to Morata who backheels for Kulusevski, he cuts back to Rabiot whose shot is saved onto the bar by the keeper and Chiesa follows up!
  • 4'
    Chance for Bologna!! De Silvestri goes down this near side and and the cross is saved by Szezesny! Barrow was there in the middle had the cross been better.
  • 3'
    Quiet start to the game here and Bologna are having some possession.
  • 1'
    Medel underhits a pass back to his GK, but the ball had already gone out for a throw.
  • 1'
    Juve get us going from left to right! Both teams in their usual colours!

    A moment's reflection first.
  • PRVW
    There are fireworks overhead before the game.
  • PRVW
    The teams make their way out here!
  • PRVW
    Leaving Ronaldo out is a very odd decision as it's purely tactical. It's only the fifth time in three seasons he will have been on the bench.
  • PRVW
    Juventus controversially beat Inter 3-2 last Saturday to keep their CL hopes alive. Cristiano Ronaldo starts on the bench as Dybala starts while Pirlo also makes an enforced change which sees Alvaro Morata come in for Rodrigo Bentancur who is suspended after seeing red v Inter.
  • PRVW
    Skorupski in goal, Medel, Barrow, Orsolini and Svanberg come in from the 2-2 draw at Verona on Mondayu. Ravaglia, Dijks, Sansone, Soriano and Skov drop out.
  • PRVW
    Paolo Valeri is the referee for this one while Piero Giacomelli is the VAR.
  • PRVW
    12th v 5th. 41pts v 75pts. Bologna have nothing to play for as they are safe while Juventus must win here and hope either Napoli don't beat Verona or AC Milan fail to get three points at Atalanta.
  • PRVW
    Juventus XI: Szczesny (GK); Sandro, Chiellini, De Ligt, Danilo; Chiesa, Rabiot, Kulusevski, Cuadrado; Morata and Dybala.
  • PRVW
    Bologna XI: Skorupski (GK); Medel, Barrow, De Silvestri, Orsolini; Soumaoro, Palacio, Schouten, Svanberg; Tomiyasu and Vignato.
