Three days later, on Saturday, May 9th, team Juventus welcomed Cagliari Calcio at their home ground for their 35th Serie A match that season.
Coach Max Allegri saw no need to rest all his players since Juventus already had a 6:1 advantage over Dortmund while heading into the following Wednesday's second-leg battle of the UEFA Champions League semis. He fielded a relatively strong squad with big names like Zachary, Claudio Marchisio, Arturo Vidal, and Carlos Tevez in the midfield.
The players he chose to rest on the day included the defenders, namely Patrice Evra, Stephan Lichtsteiner, Leonardo Bonucci, Giorgio Chiellini, and Álvaro Morata, the second-striker. Of course, he also left out the injured Andrea Pirlo, who had suffered a calf injury during the Dortmund game.
