This day in Juventus history: Paulo Dybala and Miralem Pjanić dismantle Torino in 4-0 derby rout

Derby days are usually defined by raw emotion, chaotic tackles, and tight margins, but on September 23, 2017, Juventus turned the Derby della Mole into a display of pure technical dominance. Hosting Siniša Mihajlović's Torino at the Allianz Stadium, Massimiliano Allegri's side delivered a ruthless 4-0 thrashing. At the heart of it all was Miralem Pjanić, who produced one of his finest performances in Black and White alongside a clinical Paulo Dybala .

Allegri set his side up in a dynamic 4-2-3-1, with Medhi Benatia alongside Giorgio Chiellini after Leonardo Bonucci 's summer departure for AC Milan . Pjanić anchored the double pivot alongside Blaise Matuidi , while Juan Cuadrado , Dybala, and Douglas Costa supported Mario Mandžukić up front. The setup gave Pjanić complete ownership of the tempo, acting as the team's deep-lying metronome to dismantle Torino's structure before the match could even settle into a contest.
