Bologna and Juventus produced a tepid yet intriguing affair to close out matchday 35 in Serie A during a 1-1 draw at Stadio Renato Dall' Freuler 54'; Thuram 9' An opening goal in the 9th minute from French midfielder Khéphren Thuram set Juve away on the night in Emilia-Romagna, which is just the start Igor Tudor's men needed after seeing Roma, Atalanta, and Lazio all seal three-point outings earlier. The first half was not without controversy, however, as Bologna could have a case for referee Daniele Doveri failing to award them a penalty after what appeared to be a stonewall decision in favor of the home side. Still, Bologna looked the better of the two combatants going into the dressing room, with Juve largely on the back foot in the wake of Thuram's match opener. Rossoblù would finally level matters in the 55th minute through Swiss international Remo Freuler, who scored his first of the season and just his second for the club with a close-range finish after Thijs Dallinga's ball into the area dropped for the former Atalanta midfielder. Tudor's men seemed more than happy to remain hemmed into their defensive third as Bologna pushed for a match-winner into the final ten minutes of action, but neither side could find a dramatic winner before settling on a point-a-piece. Juve still climbs up to fourth and ahead of Roma on this result due to goal difference, with Bologna just one point adrift with three matches remaining. 📸 Alessandro Sabattini - 2025 Getty Images

Juventus Player Ratings vs Bologna: Early Thuram Strike Only Worth One Point
Bologna and Juventus shared the spoils in one of the most anticipated Serie A fixtures in the race for the Champions League. Khephren Thuram stunned the Renato Dall'Ara crowds by scoring an early opener, but Remo Freuler pulled off an equalizer in the second period. Both clubs had their chances to win the contest, but the scoreline remained intact. So here are our player ratings for Juventus who settled for a 1-1 draw against their direct Champions League foes, Bologna. Juventus (3-4-2-1) Michele Di Gregorio – 6 The Italian goalkeeper didn't have too many saves to make. He thought he had Freuler's shot covered, but it deflected off Veiga's foot. Advertisement Pierre Kalulu – 5.5 It wasn't a bad outing from the French defender, but perhaps he should have done better to close down the cross that culminated in Bologna's goal. Renato Veiga – 6 It was a solid display from the Chelsea loanee, but his attempt to block Freuler's shot dramatically backfired. Nicolò Savona – 6.5 An impressive performance from the young right-back who had to cover at the back due to an injury crisis. Pulled off several timely interceptions, especially against Riccardo Orsolini. Timothy Weah – 5.5 An industrious display from the American, but it lacked a marquee moment. Manuel Locatelli – 6 The Juventus captain kept things tidy in the middle of the park. He did well to protect the backline, but his presence wasn't felt in the attacking phase. Advertisement Khephren Thuram – 7 The French midfielder was lucky to beat Lukasz Skorupski with a tepid shot, but he arguably deserves a goal based on his dynamic display. Andrea Cambiaso – 7 After weeks of underwhelming performances, the Juventus wingback produced a stellar display. Delivered the assist for Thuram, scored a goal that was disallowed for a marginal offiside, and had the better of Orsolini in their enticing duel. But unfortunately for the Italian, he left the pitch after picking up yet another knock. Nicolas Gonzalez – 6 The Argentine found mild success in his dribbling, but his final product was missing at times. He left it all on the pitch, but was still disappointed to leave the pitch when Igor Tudor decided to replace him. Advertisement Weston McKennie – 6 The Texan's clever flick instigated the opener, but could have given away a spot-kick with a risky challenge. Randal Kolo Muani – 6 The PSG loanee fought for the ball all over the pitch, and helped his team bring the ball forward. But he wasn't too far away from the goal to pose a threat. Substitutes Alberto Costa – 5 The young wingback squandered a sitter due to a heavy first touch. Left Juventus fans sweating every time he received the ball.
