Juventus Run Riot at Stadio Tardini with Emphatic 4-1 Victory
Juventus delivered a statement performance at the Stadio Ennio Tardini, dismantling relegation-threatened Parma 4-1 in what proved to be one of their most convincing displays of the Serie A campaign.

Bremer was the star of the show, opening the scoring after just 15 minutes before doubling his tally in the 54th minute to cap off a dominant individual performance. The Brazilian centre-back’s brace highlighted Juventus’s aerial superiority throughout the contest, as they repeatedly exploited Parma’s defensive frailties from set-pieces.
Weston McKennie extended the visitors’ advantage to 2-0 on 37 minutes with a well-taken finish, though the American midfielder was fortunate to avoid a second booking after picking up an early yellow card for a rash challenge.
Parma’s brief moment of hope came through the most unfortunate of circumstances when Andrea Cambiaso deflected the ball into his own net eight minutes into the second half. However, any thoughts of a comeback were swiftly extinguished as Juventus resumed their dominance.
Jonathan David put the result beyond doubt on 64 minutes, capping off a flowing move that showcased the visitors’ superior technical quality and movement in the final third.
The result extends Juventus’s positive recent form, with the Bianconeri now unbeaten in their last three league outings.
