Serie A Season Review 2012-13

Описание: What can be said about Juventus' season? True, it wasn't as dramatic as the last: they didn't fly through the season unbeaten, they fell in the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia, and winning the scudetto isn't quite as thrilling the second time around (ok, maybe it is, but most fans of Italian football have no point of reference for this feat). Yet the reason Juventus weren't quite as clinical this year is because they were also competing in the Champions League, and it's certain that they'd trade an unbeaten season for one playing in the top tournament.

The Old Lady were able to make it through the first ten rounds unbeaten, with a 0-0 draw at Fiorentina the only blemish on an otherwise perfect record. The streak came to an end on November 3, however, when Inter Milan won in Turin. Yet despite this and other minor setbacks, no other side truly challenged Juve for the title. The bianconeri dominance seemed etched in stone after they beat Napoli early in the season, and with the rough start from AC Milan, Lazio's attentions divided by the Europa League, and Inter's meltdown, it was almost too easy for Juventus to lift another scudetto.
