Juventus held by Lazio amid emotional farewells for Chiellini and Dybala

Juventus fans said goodbye to their captain, Giorgio Chiellini, and forward Paolo Dybala during Monday night’s game against Lazio – but the visitors’ last-gasp equaliser spoiled the farewell party in Turin.

Chiellini had recently announced he was leaving Juve this summer after 17 seasons at the club – with MLS in the United States a likely destination. The centre-back was substituted in the 17th minute, taking off the captain’s armband and giving it to Dybala before being replaced by Matthijs de Ligt.

By that time, striker Dusan Vlahovic had already scored the opener from Álvaro Morata’s assist. While Chiellini shook hands with fans and blew kisses to the crowd, Morata got on the scoresheet himself to put Juve in control of their final home game of the season.

While Juventus were already guaranteed to finish fourth, the visitors were looking to secure their Europa League place before the final round of games – and got back into the match soon after half time, thanks to an own goal from Alex Sandro.

With the hosts holding on to their lead, Juve manager Massimiliano Allegri took Dybala off with 12 minutes left, allowing him his moment of applause before he too leaves the club. The Argentina forward, who joined the club in 2015, was visibly distraught after leaving the Allianz Stadium pitch.
