In the 36th round of the 2024/25 Serie A season, Lazio tied with Juventus 1-1 after Matias Vecino scored a goal after falling behind by one goal. Baroni said that the team is still striving for the top four at this stage of the season, which shows that the team is making progress, and said that the team will do its best for this goal.

In the 51st minute of the second half, McKennie made a lob pass to the goal, and Muani jumped up and headed the ball into the goal, helping Juventus take the lead 1-0. In the 59th minute, Juventus defender Kalulu knocked down Castellanos when passing back. After the intervention of VAR, Kalulu was shown a red card and sent off, resulting in Juventus having 10 players left to fight.

In the second half stoppage time, Manuel Lazari made a pass in front of the goal, Castellanos headed the ball but was blocked by Juventus goalkeeper Di Gregorio. Then Matias Vecino made a follow-up shot and scored, helping Lazio to equalize the score 1-1.

In the end, Lazio tied Juventus 1-1 at home. After 2 wins and 3 draws in the last 5 rounds, Lazio is currently ranked 5th in the standings with 64 points, the same as Juventus in 4th place, so Lazio still has a chance to fight for a Champions League qualification.

Lazio coach Baroni said, "Both sides played very nervously in the first half, but we paid the price for a mistake. However, the team remained calm and sent 29 crosses throughout the game. If we could equalize the score earlier, maybe we could still win the game. I am satisfied with the team's performance, but of course I am not satisfied with the result, because we hoped to win the game, but the team remained full of energy and fought to the end."

“We have been strong in this part of the campaign and we are still fighting for the top four at this stage, which in itself shows that we are improving. We did miss some wins at home, but the overall performance has been strong, the players can also feel the energy of the home fans, and we will definitely give our best.”

Talking about Matias Vecino who came off the bench and scored, Baroni said, "Mattias Vecino is an extraordinary player. Not only is he determined, but his positioning and timing in the midfield are also excellent. Even if the opponent was playing with one man less, I would make the same substitution decision."

"Mattías Vecino increased the tempo of the game and he always found some solutions. Our tactics were to stretch Juventus' defense because they usually sit deep and can be lethal on the counterattack, so we needed players with speed to break through their defense."
