Serie A Shock: Fiorentina Stuns Juventus with a 3-0 Triumph as Thiago Motta Crumbles at the Franchi – Can Palladino Keep the Winning Streak Alive?

Fiorentina put in a stellar display against Juventus, bagging a 3-0 victory at the Stadio Artemio Franchi. In a 3-5-2 formation, Fiorentina fielded De Gea in goal, who earned a modest 6. Defenders Pongracic and Ranieri performed admirably, both scoring 6.5, while Marí lagged slightly behind with a score of 6. Dodo and Gosens each shone with a 7.5 rating, and in the midfield, Mandragora also stood out with a solid 7. Fagioli, who came off for Folorunsho, was influential at 7.5. Gudmundsson wrapped up the scoring with a goal early in the second half, finishing with a 7 rating. Palladino, the manager, was rightly awarded a 7.5 for his tactical acumen. Juventus, on the other hand, struggled significantly in a 4-2-3-1 setup. Goalkeeper Di Gregorio received a 5.5, with Weah and Kalulu both grappling to earn a 5. Veiga's unfortunate performance left him with a disappointing 4.5, while Kelly managed the same before being replaced. Despite McKennie’s efforts for a 5.5, the midfield struggled to find rhythm, leading to poor performances from Koopmeiners (4.5) and Gonzalez (4.5). Manager Thiago Motta saw his side falter with a paltry score of 4. The key moments saw goals from Gosens at 16 minutes, Mandragora at 18 minutes, and Gudmundsson at 53 minutes. Cards were shown to Mari and Ranieri for Fiorentina, with Locatelli, Costa, Weah, and Thuram all getting booked for Juventus. Thankfully, no players left the pitch during the match, keeping the teams intact. With this result, Fiorentina has sent a strong statement to their adversaries, whilst Juventus must lick their wounds and look towards future matches. - Resource: "https://www.sportmediaset.mediaset.it/calcio/seriea/serie-a-fiorentina-juventus-3-0-thiago-motta-sprofonda-al-franchi-palladino-batte-ancora-i-bianconeri_95251461-202502k.shtml
