The press have plenty to talk about today following the spectacular match against Udinese yesterday (1-1), when the Bianconeri clawed back a point despite being a man short. The Gazzetta dello Sport praises a gritty performance, but Juve managing director Luciano Moggi claims that the Bianconeri suffered from a few dodgy refereeing decisions. "There was a penalty on Del Piero, and their goal was off-side," he asserts. "We were unlucky."

Tuttosport is also impressed with Juve’s performance. "They were untameable," it says. "This was a great show of strength. Despite going a goal down (Jorgensen) and Tudor being sent off for his second bookable offence, Juve battled on to win an important point." Del Piero is also said to have had a good game, although Tuttosport agrees with Moggi that the number 10 should have been awarded a penalty and goes on to praises Del Piero for the assist that led to the goal.

Finally, Ciro Ferrara is interviewed in the Corriere dello Sport. "We now risk being overtaken by Lazio," he admits, "but we don’t necessarily have to win all our matches. This is a very close League indeed. To be in the lead now with 14 matches still to go doesn’t mean very much."
