Match Report
The champions looked on course for a comfortable evening when Mario Mandzukic netted after two minutes, but Parma made life difficult for their esteemed guests until the former Croatia international intervened again to tee up Blaise Matuidi's winner.
Gervinho had drawn Parma level on his full debut and the hosts could have led at the interval, before their momentum waned following the restart.
There was still no breakthrough for Juve new boy Cristiano Ronaldo, though, as his barren start to life in Italy continues beyond an international break during which he will miss action for Portugal.

they are benching dybala because of Ronaldo which is not right because of Ronaldo dybala can't play in his CAM position.Dybala was juv highest goal scorer last season. juv coach should not waste a young world class player(future ballon d'or competitor) on the bench Because of Ronaldo bench Ronaldo too and play dybala and pls don't turn dybala into benzema

Ronaldo is a player who have his own ways of doing things. after 4 match barn last season and a bad start after the barn he could still over take Suarez and griezmann and only messi was left so the is no messi in seria A so a goal delay is not a goal deny.[PIZZA][PIZZA][PIZZA]. take note am not his fan

Last time Gervinho scored was 1024 days ago, but today he broke this curse. Last time Juventus scored in the first 2 minutes was 5 years ago.

Ronaldo has been in Madrid for almost 10 years, won’t be easy to understand Juve’s football and style this quick, again, give him time We underestimated Parma in the first half, and we’re lucky to even take that early lead, based on what happened later, Allegri’s talks after first half changed the game and and we were better team all second half Please learn how to cross the fucking ball! . Dybala and Perin should both start

He’ll need some time to adjust but I think he can bounce back. Congratulations to Juventus on their win!! I think so far Ronaldo has been overhyped. Everybody has forgotten about Juventus as a team.
