That was a cracking game to watch yesterday, two teams that genuinely dislike each other, two lovely goals (Bonucci's could have been chalked off for the guy stood in front of the keeper being offside perhaps), three penalties (two of which were dubious to say the least), two sending's off... Brilliant stuff!
I feel for Roma because the majority of the ref's bad decisions (not all though, mind you) went in Juvé's favour. Roma are pretty damn scuppered by injuries at the moment, and even bearing that in mind they have still had a fantastic start to the season.
It could prove to be a very interesting season in Italy if Roma do manage to keep pace; but it will be a tough ask for them as they are currently missing their first-choice keeper, a fair chunk of their back line and an entire central midfield (De Rossi and Strootman). Hopefully the international break will give them chance to get a few players back fit before they play next.
France could be one to watch this season too, PSG currently don't look like they want to play for Blanc, whilst the Marseille players look like they'd run through brick walls for Bielsa. If Marseille can keep up their current form and pull away before PSG get their act together (which they must do at some point surely), then it could be a very interesting title race indeed.
