The players and staff of Benevento and Juventus paid tribute to Diego Maradona in the 10th minute of their Serie A clash.
Play was stopped in the 10th minute of the Serie A clash between Benevento and Juventus as players and coaching staff from both teams paid tribute to Diego Maradona.
Argentina great Maradona, who lit up the Italian top flight during seven seasons with Napoli, died of natural causes at the age of 60 on Wednesday.
Tributes have been paid across the sporting world this week, with a minute's silence being held ahead of each Serie A game, during which players will wear black armbands.
An image of Maradona is also being shown on stadium screens in the 10th minute of each fixture, marking the shirt number he wore, along with a "Ciao Diego" message.
Benevento and Juve players, including Argentina international Paulo Dybala, went a step further with their tributes as play came to a standstill on Saturday for those present to applaud arguably the greatest ever footballer.
Maradona led Napoli to league titles in 1987 and 1990 and the club plan to rename their San Paolo home in his honour.
The Serie A game ended 1-1 at the Stadio Ciro Vigorito

idk what the problem for juve,i think they lack a leader in the midfield,i would like to see juve signing Milinknvic savic from lazio,which is very unlikely,it will be very nice to see veratti joining juve,and veratti already said 3-4 years ago that he would like to play for juve

Juve start with disappointment this season,there is nothing to enjoy when Juve is playing.... they play like a relegation team so bad.... And Pirlo is not taking responsibility.....they keep dropping points against small teams they will never win against so call big teams....This Juve team is waiting on Ronaldo to score in every game . If Ronaldo fail to score Juve drop points.no plan A no plan B just playing.

Resting players is important, especially key players with a schedule as gruesome as this season. The other players on the pitch must rise to the occasion.
So the corona virus rest and the days they donβt have match is not rest so itβs the day you want to play match that you want to rest players pirlo just did bad
