Juventus held by SPAL as Serie A title race takes new twist
Posted By on Saturday 31st March 2018
Juventus‘s march towards a seventh consecutive Serie A championship was stalled on Saturday by a goalless draw at struggling SPAL that kept the suspense alive in Italy.
Massimiliano Allegri’s side had been bidding to open a seven-point cushion on Napoli, who can now close the gap to two when they host Genoa on Sunday.
“I’m neither angry nor disappointed, we came up against a battling SPAL who fought us and played a wicked game,” said Allegri.
“They made many fouls, 29, to break up our game. These are not excuses, but things that can happen during the season.
“It’s only human that when you are top of the Serie A table, in the Champions League quarter-finals and the Italian Cup final, you can miss a beat and lack energy once in a while.
