Juventus earned a hard-fought 1-0 win against Cremonese yesterday and finally returned to Serie A action after the World Cup and the Christmas break.
The Bianconeri were in fine form going into the break and needed him to continue as they tried to close the gap between themselves and Napoli at the top of the league table.
Cremonese didn’t make their lives easy and seemed to have earned a share of the spoils before Arkadiusz Milik stepped up and scored a marvelous late-game free kick for the black and whites.
Milik has now been praised by many Italian media outlets on their front pages. Football Italia selected some of the headlines, with one outlet reading: “Milik through the nose” and another “Milik magic, seven times Juve.”
Juve FC says
Milik has been an important player for us and he showed it again in this game, making keeping his signature a formality.
The Polish striker is performing as a top player who can score all kinds of goals and we can count on him in this second half of the season.
Hopefully other players in the squad will also take a step forward and be decisive for us in this second part of the season.
