Juventus-Atlético Madrid

It's time for one last friendly, one last chance to play a game without any kind of meaning in the standings or for any kind of points.

And hey, we also get the chance to see Atletico’s new right back signing that for a time that was linked with Juve, so that’s always great. The last thing Allegri or anybody else associated with Juventus is to see another player suffer an injury and put their status for the Sassuolo matchup — or anything beyond that — suddenly at stake. In a friendly that was supposed to be play a couple thousand miles away but was eventually moved to Turin because of ongoing conflict in the Middle East, Juventus now suddenly has the chance to evaluate this team one more time before the Serie A season starts in its own backyard. The Serie A opener is all of eight days away. Just don’t get hurt, (insert Juventus player name here). Thank you. Juventus playing well is a bonus.
