STATISTICS FULL MATCH
Gonzalo Higuain scored twice as Juventus took after their triumph over Barcelona with a 2-0 win at Pescara in Serie A, despite the fact that Paulo Dybala endured a stressing harm in front of the Champions League quarter-last second leg.
While Massimiliano Allegri rested six from his group's midweek European triumph, Higuain and Dybala - the last of whom got twice in the 3-0 first-leg win - both kept their places.
Higuain became the overwhelming focus as he peppered the Pescara objective with shots in the opening 45 minutes and twice beat goalkeeper Vincenzo Fiorillo, however Dybala's second-half thump gave Allegri reason for concern only four days before a trek to Camp Nou.
Despite the fact that the 23-year-old attempted to play on after an obvious hit to his lower leg in a 47th-minute test with Sulley Muntari, he again went down and was supplanted by Stefano Sturaro in the blink of an eye a short time later to leave Juve stressing over their forward's wellness.
The champions' title resistance was at any rate helped as the base of-the-table side seldom undermined following a brilliant begin, while second-put Roma's draw against Atalanta saw the Bianconeri's crevice at the top extended to eight focuses with six amusements remaining.
Gaston Brugman's depiction brought a spare from Neto after only eight seconds and the fiery hosts extended a new Juve backline in the early stages.
Be that as it may, Allegri's men soon discovered their feet and Higuain squared for Mario Mandzukic to test Fiorillo from short proximity, before the Argentina universal shot target.
The leap forward landed for Juve in the 22nd moment, with Juan Cuadrado quickly jumping on the bounce back from his own particular low shot to tee up Higuain for a basic complete into an open objective.
