I do agree that Roma has a harder time now after this result, they should have won this game without a doubt. However, with the way it is looking right now, there are 8 more games, meaning 24 more points to collect, and Roma is only 5 points behind, in a situation they do better, they could take that fourth spot and they would deserve it as well.

If they had De Rossi since the start of the season then I would guess that they could have been fourth easily, or if Bologna didn't go on that amazing winning streak that nobody expected, Roma would have still be fourth. In any case, if they go to europa, that is still not a terrible deal and they could do well there as we have seen so far, I believe they will be able to do fine.

There are eight weeks left in the league and they are five points ahead of Rome. This is a huge advantage for Bologna. Roma is a strong team, but with full concentration this year, Bologna can finish the season in fourth place, ahead of Roma. I would like this to happen because it would be great for a new team from the Italian league to take part in the giants stage. Good luck Bologna.

Thus, Juventus got the revenge of their 1-0 defeat in the league, but they will also go away to Lazio. That away game has always been difficult. A 2-0 advantageous score can take Juventus to the next round, but Lazio needs a win with at least 3 goals difference. Tough times for Lazio in the cup. They are about to lose the semi-finals. Juventus will see the final

Normally, Juventus are not still in form, and as you said, Lazio deserves the credit in the match while Juventus win the match, which to me is still not bad because there is a second leg coming up on the 23rd of this month, so we will anticipate the revenge of Lazio on Juventus in the semifinals and also see who among them will go to the final. Whether Juventus or Lazio, Juventus should  believe it or not, their performance is getting weaker and out of hand, so they have to act fast before it will be a regret.
 
Because I see no point in saying that you cannot do anything tangible in the field because, looking back at their last few games in the whole of last month, they have not won, so I don't even think they deserve to be happy with this win because if care is not talking, they might still not make it to the final.

In this match, actually, if you look at ball control, Lazio is clearly superior to Juventus. However, this opportunity could not be exploited properly by the Lazio players, so the Lazio players just played with the ball. Then when Juventus controlled the ball, Lazio's players were always unable to block attacks more effectively. Maybe if only Lazio could play more calmly when in the Juventus defense area, I'm sure Lazio could score 1 or 2 goals too. However, because the Lazio players were not calm when attacking the Juventus defense area, as a result there were no dangerous kicks that the Lazio players could shoot. Apart from that, in this match the Lazio players tended to look rushed and made many wrong decisions when in Juventus' defense. Apart from that, Lazio's defense line also looks less dense in defense. So several times Juventus had the opportunity to add to their goals. Maybe that was the biggest mistake Lazio made when they lost that match.

In contrast to Juventus, who managed to get out of the deadlock that plagued them throughout the first half. In the second half, Juventus managed to take advantage of the opportunities they had to score a goal. So with these results Juventus are now 2 goals ahead of Lazio temporarily in the Coppa Italia semifinals (2-0 aggregate). However, Juventus cannot be satisfied with the results achieved so far. The reason is, it is possible that Lazio can correct their mistakes in the second leg and turn things around. Because from what I saw, Lazio's performance in that match looked less than optimal. So Juventus must be more careful, because I am sure Lazio's performance will be good again in the second leg.

And about the referee's decision regarding VAR. I think the referee's decision is questionable.

Although this was very disappointing for Inter Milan because they were not able to progress further because they had prepared this season to be better than the previous season. Last season, Inter Milan failed to win the Champions League trophy. Even though there was only a little more left for them to win it, but the opponents that Inter Milan faced were quite tough in the final, so Inter Milan was only able to become second place, but if you compare it to last season, they were only able to win the Italian Cup and the Cup. Super Italia, in my opinion, this season Inter Milan is much better because they will get the main trophy in the domestic league, so even though they lost in the Champions League, at least Inter Milan still won the prestigious trophy this season.

So Inter Milan should not dwell on sadness and lament their fate in the Champions League because after all they have fought as hard as possible, this could be a lesson for Inter Milan next season to better prepare their performance and be able to advance even further in the Champions League. This season not a lucky season for Inter Milan in the Champions League but for next season no one knows what the fate of Inter Milan will be like, who knows, he will get the Champions League title after not getting it for a long time

Juventus has a different performance from Juventus in previous matches in Serie A. In the Coppa Italia we can see Juventus playing very comfortably and always almost scoring a goal against Lazio. I think winning the first leg with a score of 2-0 is good enough. Because in the second leg Juventus could play more calmly and only had to add to their advantage or maintain their advantage. Lazio won in Serie A but Juventus responded in the Coppa Italia. Now Juventus has the opportunity to lift the trophy in the Coppa Italia if they can finally qualify for the Final and beat their opponents there. But Juventus also still has to maintain their position in Serie A. Don't let the UCL tickets disappear from their hands.

Yes, you are right, Empoli has never won in its last four matches, but I think Empoli will still try to get a goal or a win, because it seems impossible that Empoli will allow themselves to lose five matches in a row. Empoli must continue to rise because the opponent they will face in the next match is Torino, so Empoli must try hard.

Truly..
But, In fact, basically Empoli wasn't that bad this time. It seems that Empoli has done quite well as a small club against the top of the standings.
Yes, Empoli can basically provide quite good resistance, they also try to provide attacks, and are quite accurate in fact. However, Inter's defense is indeed much stronger than Empoli's. Let's look at the statistics below.

From this data, it's pretty good, right? But nevertheless, Inter was much stronger in defense, and their continuous attacks on Empoli eventually became unavoidable. Dimarco, who scored Inter's first goal in the 5th minute, was also the best player in this match. His contribution was very impressive, this was the opening goal for the match which of course was also enough to strengthen Inter to be even stronger.

Juventus managed to beat Lazio 2-0.
The second half was dominated, even as they took the risk to finish third.
Agri has saved his place for now but missing games is still a high risk.
Explains how they took away the penalty awarded to Juventus in the first half, but we still think VAR is a joke.

This is the match of semifinal Coppa Italy and within days finally Juventus can able to get revenge from Lazio that playing at home Juventus with comfortable can win with final scores 2-0 and both teams considers this match is really important so they were playing with all of their key players and first half was ended with no scores because whether it Juventus or Lazio were playing with carefully but in the second half Juventus can slightly taking over the game which makes they can scores from Chiesa and Vlahovic

Juventus seems very serious to facing this match because this is the only chances for them to gets the trophy this season and with this result i am confident they can advances to the final match although second leg will be held at Lazio home ground later and taking about Coppa Italy last time Juventus was able to gets the trophy from this competition is on season 2020/2021 at that time they successfully can beat Atalanta in the final match and now this is also good chances for Allegri to bringing Juventus to gets their first trophy under him and we all know Allegri position as a manager was threaten this because he was failed to bringing Juventus to compete with Inter Milan for the scudetto but if Allegri can gets Coppa Italy trophy maybe he can avoiding to be sacked

This match was more of a revenge match for Juventus against Lazio because lately they have been having difficulties wining Lazio do to the fact that Lazio has studied and understand the pattern of Juventus plus there home advantage and from there things became easy for them, so they were able to use it against Juventus on there last match which ended 1-0 against Juventus and it was sad for Juventus because they no that they have more good performance than Lazio but luck was not on there side on that match.

So on this match Juventus did not give them any opportunity for them to perform and also there home advantage also work for them as they were able to beat Lazio 2-0. However in terms of this Italian league Lazio has tried a bit but there performance is not good enough to qualify for the champions League next season because they have no performance compares to the clubs on the race so probably they will just end the season with the current position they are.

Yes, it was a suffocating defeat, Inter had several challenges that they really missed. And in the end, he failed in the penalty shootouts. And it makes for a great lesson for them. And at least, they have 1 title which is definitely the most prestigious in the Italian league, because they will definitely take the Schudetto this season. It's just a matter of time, the points are so far away from the other clubs, and there are only a few more matches left this season. So, it is certain that Inter will take over the Serie A trophy from Napoli, the champion last season.

Juventus managed to beat Lazio 2-0.

the second half was dominated, they even risked scoring the third goal.
Allegri has saved his place for now but the league standing considering the missing games is still at high risk.

It's inexplicable how they took away the penalty awarded to Juventus in the first half, but we already know VAR is a joke.

In their match against Lazio in the Seria A title, they were not in good shape to take a point even though they fight till the end, but playing away from home while you are not in good form is always hard, and Lazio is trying to maintain their points gap ahead of Napoli.

On this game, I can also see how poor Juventus was, Lazio dominated the match completely, but Juventus were at home and they utilized their chances very well which was why they are lucky to win the match.
Although it will not be easy to lose this title even as they lose the Seria A title due to lack of form, I am expecting them to perform well in other competitions so as to gain more confidence ahead of next season

I remember calling this result about juventus. I said that juventus is not in a good form and there is a very good chance that lazio will actually win this match or drawn. And thats exactly what happened.

In this match juventus actually didnt play well at all in my opinion. They did have some chances but the Lazio goalkeeper has to be given credit. He made some very important saves. If it was not for him, i think it could be very different outcome. And credit goes to Lazio for actually believing in themselves and also be able to win the match at the end. I thought juventus could have marked Marusic better at that moment. This is the 4th match on a row for juventus without a win. Things doesnt look good for them at this moment and i think if they do not improve, it is going to be a problem for them to stay in the top 4 positions even though at this moment it looks like they are safe.

By the way, todays Coppa Italia semi final match ended just now
Result: Juventus 2 - 0 Lazio, perfectly took the revenge  

No Empoli don't have the strength of scoring back. Empoli have never scored any goal in their last four consecutive matches. Perhaps, I was also thinking that Inter will be able to score more goals, but after the early goal scored by DiMarco, it became somehow hard for them to score again.

Not until Sanchez came from the bench and score a very easy goal to an open net with a beautiful assist from Dumfries. The important thing is that they were able to secure all three points from Empoli.

After a bad first half for football, the second half started very well and Juventus scored goals in the 50th and 64th minutes and took the lead 2-0. They now have a big advantage in the first match of the semi-finals. If Lazio wants to have hope for the second match, they must score 1 goal. The atmosphere of the final matches tomorrow may be different and Lazio has not been able to do what it wants in this match so far.

Juventus wants to maintain its scoring advantage before going to the second match. It is now minute 72 and Juventus has achieved the score it wanted.

It looks like Inter are more careful in this match because seeing from 90 minutes of the match actually Empoli is quite able to keep up with the game that Inter did in this match even though in terms of possession and Inter's chances are much better but Empoli also gave a good reaction even though it was not enough to make them get points.

The 2 goals were very good although not too good for those on the handicap but on the other hand it seems like it was enough to keep them comfortably at the top.
Now there are only a few more wins that they need to do to seal the Scudetto this season and I don't think it's a difficult job even though Milan are also powerful at the moment but the big point difference is very difficult to catch up at the moment.

semi-final first leg between Juventus and Lazio is now being played and after a disappointing first half Juventus managed to take the lead through Chiesa.

The top management for Juventus is present at the stadium to witness what could be the last game with Mister Allegri.
For now things seem to be going well.
