Juventus have one of the best squads in Europe and certainly the best in Italy. Even without some of the key players, they were able to put up a show against Roma on Saturday.

Andrea Barzagli, Juan Cuadrado, and the summer signing Joao Cancelo are all ruled out for at least a month with injuries, and the latter's injury was the most concerning for fans. However, they coped without one of the best fullbacks in European football as Mattia De Sciglio performed well in Cancelo's absence.

The Italian also provided the assist for the all-important goal with a peach of a cross from the right flank as Mandzukic powered his way past Santon and Olsen.
