Juve and Ronaldo stumble

 Arturo Vidal hugs former Juventus teammate Andreo Pirlo at full time.

Juventus has been crowned Serie A champion for nine consecutive seasons, but it would appear the Turin club's stranglehold on the Scudetto could finally be coming to an end.
 
The Old Lady was beaten 2-0 by Inter Milan thanks to goals from Arturo Vidal and Nicolo Barella, as Antonio Conte's side moved level on points with city rival AC Milan at the top of the table.
 
There had been some controversy involving Vidal prior to kick off, as video footage appeared to show him kissing the Juventus badge on Giorgio Chiellini's chest as he greeted his former teammate.
 
Vidal spent four years at Juventus between 2011 and 2015, winning seven major titles during his time at the club.
 
After the game, Vidal denied intending to kiss the badge and there was certainly no questioning the Chilean's loyalty once the match had started as his thumping header gave Inter a deserved lead.
 
Barella secured the three points in the second half as Juventus stays in fifth place, now seven points behind the two Milan clubs.
 
Arturo Vidal celebrates his opening goal with Romelu Lukaku.
 
The win was also Conte's first in the Derby d'Italia as Inter boss, having previously managed Juventus between 2011 and 2014.

And they did it with 10 men. To break it all down, here are three pre-match questions that have been answered. And here are three more questions that this elimination has thrown up. Three answers 1. Would Real Madrid mount a cup run this year? Zinedine Zidane never won the Copa del Rey as a player and hasn’t won it as a head coach either. The only time he did win this tournament was when he was assistant to Carlo Ancelotti in 2014. That was also the last year that Real Madrid even made the final. When this was brought up in the pre-match press conference , the coach laughed, but you could tell that he is a little embarrassed by these regular Copa failings. So, co...
