A goal, which seemed pointless, at Napoli, but instead actually made the tally of direct clashes with the Azzurri even. Another goal, at Atalanta, that allowed Juventus to close out the challenge in Bergamo with greater peace of mind. In between was a very long absence due to inflammation of the patellar tendon.
After the ‘Meazza’ return in the ill-fated Coppa Italia challenge with Inter, Mario Lemina only needed a handful of minutes to move the needle of the scales and push the Bianconeri to exercise the right of redemption with Olympique Marseille: 9.5 million euros, not an insignificant sum but still less than that invested for Hernanes.
Barring cataclysms, even next season the Gabonese, who was also interested in Sevilla and Napoli itself, will wear the Bianconeri jersey.
