    Another intensive month as we look to not only advance to the semifinal stage of the Champions League but also wrap up our 7th straight scudetto. Crotone will not be a pushover as it fights for survival and then there is Napoli and Inter who will be fighting for their own causes. Then we have that pesky side from Madrid to contend with. Plenty of action to see this month with hopefully an additional CL tie near the end.

    Champions League
    3 Apr - Real Madrid
    11 Apr - at Real Madrid

    Serie A
    7 Apr - at Benevento
    15 Apr - Sampdoria
    18 Apr - at Crotone
    22 Apr - Napoli
    29 Apr - at Internazionale

    Critical month. Inter away, plus May we still have to go to Roma.

    Nothing is "won" yet, but we are looking better.

    Two Real Madrid games will be tough. Hope we go through on aggregate.

    Buffon will be rested tomorrow, Szczesny is confirmed to play in goal. Chiellini is also out of tomorrow's game. Howedes could come off the bench.

    Excited to see Marchisio - Pjanic - Matuidi. Hopefully it's Claudio as the Regista dictating play. Dybala with a brace.

    Even against Benevento, Pjanic is disappointing

    Remarkable defending by the best left back in the world.

    Using Falc logic, he wouldn’t have to be in that position had Rugani not just stood there and watch the ball go by. He was lazy.

    Juve goal disallowed.

    Mandzukic given a yellow. Replays showed nothing.

    Didn’t even use VAR. Strange.

    Yellow when it probably should have been a penalty?

    It's beginning to look more and more like VAR is just a tool utilized as an "equalizer" to ******** Juve to the benefit of the other sides. That was an easy goal call. That they didn't use replay is a joke.

    It clearly was a penalty. The hand ball was incidental. Fine, call off the goal but give the penalty. Terrible call.

    And again, Benevento ties it up on a header. Benatia lost his man and then was caught flat footed.

    Higuain on, Marchisio off

    Should have taken Pjanic off instead

    VAR confirms it
