Milan's Scudetto Hopes
00:00:15
Speaker
So Milan, one point away from winning their first Scudetto in 11 years, 2-0 win against Atalanta.
Teo Hernandez's Stunning Goal
00:00:24
Speaker
No doubt who the story of the weekend was though, Teo Hernandez with that ridiculous length of the pitch goal.
00:00:25
Speaker
The following is a clip from this week's Italian football podcast.
00:00:31
Speaker
No, it's the goal of the season, without a doubt. Coast to coast, he just goes on this slalom run, which we've seen him do time and time again in the season, but this time he put the finishing touch on it and scored the goal of the season. And probably one of the most classic Serie A goals we'll see on par with George Veyaz.
Symbolism of the Goal
00:00:50
Speaker
classical, legendary goal for Milan at the same stadium some 10, 20 years ago. And I think it was kind of a symbol of, this goal was a symbol of Milan and their Scudetto winning season, which I think is now all but a formality.
Juventus Player's Career Reflection
00:01:08
Speaker
How will he be remembered? I think that we have to split the ballers career at UVA into two periods. The first three years he was absolutely fantastic. He scored 68 goals in those first three seasons, so many magical moments, so many magical goals.
00:01:24
Speaker
I think the most memorable of all, obviously, there's two goals in the Champions League against Barcelona in 2017. But unfortunately, you know, the last four years, with the exception of that one season under Sadie, where he kind of had a mini comeback, you know, he has declined, he's declined his form, his fitness. And, you know, unfortunately, he's become the kind of player who
00:01:49
Speaker
is kind of, it just isn't a place for him in modern football, really, anymore. And as much as I love him, I hope he doesn't join in, sir, because, you know, he deserves to be remembered as, as a much loved Juventus player. But whatever happens, I don't think he will be remembered as an all time Juventus great, like a Platina or a bad Joe or a Del Piero.
