This Saturday Cagliari had the chance to extend its positive streak in Serie A at the Allianz Stadium – it had two wins in a row that allowed it to get out of the relegation zone – but in front it had the Juventus, one of the leaders in the standings and the task was more than complicated. Thus, despite the 2-1 defeat, the positive thing about what happened in Turin was the debut of Gianluca Lapadula in the 2023-24 season of the Italian championship, which means that it will arrive with continuity for when it joins the Peruvian National Team.
Although ‘Lapagol’ had already made his return in the Italian Cup, scoring the goal that gave the ‘Sardos’ victory over Udinese, he had not yet played a single minute in the league tournament. In that sense, with the score at zero, Claudio Ranieri decided to bet on him to refresh his offense and try to create danger for the ‘Old Lady’.

The Peruvian National Team They have gone five games in a row without winning, fourth of them for the 2026 Qualifiers: Paraguay (0-0), Brazil (0-1), Chile (2-0) and Argentina (0-2). This also leaves us with the balance of no goals in favor – and five against –, so the return of the ‘Bambino’ will add offensive weight to the team. Juan Reynoso, that until now has not found the formula for the ‘Bicolor’ to generate more danger.
