According to La Stampa, some Juventus players have been involved in a situation that will cause controversy.
Around 11:30 PM yesterday, well past curfew, a Carabinieri patrol car stopped in front of the gate of Weston McKennie's villa, where he was hosting about twenty people for a proper party in violation of anti-Covid regulations. Two other Juventus players were also present: Paulo Dybala and Arthur, along with their respective girlfriends.

The Carabinieri, after having had difficulty entering, fined all those present. For the players, in addition to the possible fine coming from Juventus also the risk of being reported for resisting a public official. The black and white club, after having heard its registered players, will decide on any disciplinary sanctions.
ROME – "These will undoubtedly be two important matches against Napoli and Juve. They're more significant, but ultimately they're still worth three points." Gian Piero Gasperini maintains a moderate stance on the eve of the league match against Antonio Conte's team. "The Champions League odds don't vary much from season to season, so they'll be important matches, but not decisive for fourth place."
The Giallorossi coach rejects the idea of a definitive turning point in the European race and urges us to look at the overall path. "We've always focused on our own path. After 24 matchdays, we're there, along with Juve and Napoli, with AC Milan still visible. I've always achieved results on the penultimate or final matchday. We must be ready to stay in the competition until the end."
Enthusiasm, ambition, and a desire to immediately serve the team. Alisson Santos, 23, a Brazilian striker who joined Napoli in the winter transfer window from Sporting Lisbon, introduced himself to the Azzurri fans with words that blended emotion and determination. "I'm very happy to be here; it's a dream for me. Napoli is a great club, and I hope to help them achieve our goals," he explained, speaking of his new adventure.
His debut is already behind him, having played half an hour in the Coppa Italia against Como and been responsible for one of the final penalties, despite elimination. "I'm happy with my debut but obviously sad about the result, because I wanted to advance with the team. But now it's time to work and look ahead," he said, immediately demonstrating his mentality and sense of team spirit. It wasn't even his first time at the Maradona: "Tuesday was my second time here; I'd already played in this stadium with Sporting in the Champions League. But playing for Napoli is an incredible feeling, feeling the passion of the Neapolitan fans."
The refereeing appointments for Serie A's twenty-fifth matchday have been announced, a round that features key clashes both for the Scudetto and the European Championship race. Fabbri will referee tomorrow evening's early match between Pisa and AC Milan.
The main spotlight will be on Saturday evening, however, at San Siro, where another chapter of the Derby d'Italia will unfold between Inter and Juventus. This match is worth much more than just three points, and it will be handled by La Penna, the experienced referee chosen for a match that promises to be highly competitive and atmospheric.
