Football: Juventus and Milan under pressure ahead of crucial meeting in Turin

ROME: When the 2020/21 Serie A fixture list was produced last year, few would have predicted that AC Milan’s trip to Juventus with four games to go would be a potential Champions League playoff.Juve, winners of the last nine league titles, are at risk of a previously unthinkable failure of missing out on a top four spot, having started the season as title favourites.

"The team that loses is out," former Juventus and Milan coach Fabio Capello told Corriere della Sera."It is not just about the league table. I think the psychological repercussions of a defeat would be very heavy. However, both sides are lacking in form and confidence and have their fair share of off-pitch distractions to deal with.The Turin club have struggled to find an identity under rookie coach Andrea Pirlo, resulting in incessant speculation that Massimiliano Allegri is set to replace him.

To make matters worse, both teams have had to watch on as their major rivals Inter Milan celebrated wrapping up the league title with four games to spare.

Ronaldo is hungry for them.
