Juventus delivered a much-needed 2–0 win over Monza at the Allianz Stadium, reigniting their chase for a top-four Serie A finish.

Under heavy pressure following a patchy run of form, Igor Tudor’s men knew that only a victory would keep them in the Champions League conversation.

Nico González opened the scoring early with a beautiful curled strike from outside the box, sending the home crowd into raptures.

Juventus doubled their advantage before the half-hour mark, with Kolo Muani finishing a rapid counterattack expertly, showcasing the kind of fluid attacking play that had been missing in recent weeks.

However, the match wasn’t without drama.

Young star Kenan Yildiz was sent off just before halftime after reacting angrily to a late challenge, leaving Juventus to play the entire second half with ten men. Despite Monza’s numerical advantage, they failed to capitalize, barely threatening Di Gregorio’s goal.

The win lifts Juventus back into the top four, crucially placing them two points behind Atalanta with just a handful of games left.

With Champions League revenues at stake — and a squad overhaul looming — returning to Europe’s elite competition is non-negotiable for the Bianconeri.
