By Anna Italia
Biggest Upset of the Serie A Week 36 Round... Juventus losing with their big stars
Saint Goalkeeper Gigi Buffon, Strikers Alessandro Del Piero and David Trezeguet
Siena 1 - 0 FC Juventus
7' Houssine Kharja
Substitutions: 53' Locatelli out, De Ceglie in 46' Zebina out, Hasan Salihamidzic in
72' Kharka out, Frick in 65' Sissoko out, Marchionni in
90' M.Maccarone out, Rossettini in 77' Pavel Nedved out, R. Palladino in
If you think you are reading the wrong score, let me tell you, YOU ARE NOT!!!!
The so called small team AC SIENA beat the almighty Juventus! Unbelievable... Juventus could increase their score and wasted a precious moment.
Yet, what really upsets me is that Juventus had all their main players. So, there is no excuse on saying that "the second bench" was playing. Am I mad? YOU BET I AM UPSET!!!! I was expecting Juventus to win with flying colors!!! Instead, they lost miserably against a humble team.
This is a great victory for Siena coach Mario Beretta, by the way, one of my favorite coaches.
Siena on paper had no chance to beat Juventus, and they did!!!!!
Want more? The goal arrived in less than 10 minutes and Juventus had 83 minutes to equalize and win BUT THEY DID NOT EVEN SCORE A SINGLE GOAL!!!!
In the 7th minute, surprisingly, Siena midfielder Houssine Kharja shoots from the left side of the box where Juventus Saint goalkeeper GIGI BUFFON could not reach the ball in the top right corner.
This goal was the beginning and the end because Kharja crashed Juventus possibility to reach the second position after Roma beat Sampdoria.
Siena players celebrate their goal while Juventus defender Zebina just observes.
Wow, what a moment for Siena! Beating the "almighty Juventus" in front of their fans at the Artemio Franchi stadium. This is a great gift for Siena fans. I am sure Kharja's jersey will start selling like "hot pancakes!"
You see why I am mad!!! Losing without even scoring!!!! Is not that Juventus strikers were out of shape. We are talking about the top scorer David Trezeguet with 19 goals and Alessandro Del Piero with 18 goals. Could not they score at least one goal?????
Both had their chances but they could not finalize the intention. Merit also goes to Siena goalkeeper Manninger for stopping each attempt of goal from Juve.
This pose of Alessandro Del Piero reflects the total disillusion not only from Juventus players but from Juventus fans too!
I still can't believe JUVENTUS lost this match!!!! Great merit and standing ovation to Siena Coach Mario Beretta and his team, especially Kharja for delivering the goal that saves SIENA from relegation. Siena is now in the 12th position with 42 points.
I hope Juventus won't lose the next 2 matches for not having the motivation to reach the 2nd position. Catania needs to beat Juventus to dream with Salvation while Sampdoria, the last opponent of Juventus, is in the battle for the 4th position against Fiorentina and Milan.

What do you think of the RESULT? Were you expecting Juventus to lose?
Man, this was a big disappointment. Juventus seem to lose the motivation now that they secured their 3rd position. What's your take?

Forgot to tell you that it broke my heart to see the photo of Alessandro Del Piero showing his frustration. I did not want to include it, but I did because it was the sad reality.
A big frustration!!!
