Juventus strengthened their grasp on a fourth straight Serie A title thanks to a 1-0 win over Genoa which confirmed the Bianconeri are also able to juggle their league and European commitments.
Carlos Tevez scored the only goal of the game to secure a 20th win of the season in 28 Serie A fixtures for Massimiliano Allegri's men.
Their advantage at the top of the table is now such that they can plan on wrapping the title up even before the semifinal stage of the Champions League, which they will hope to be involved in by beating Monaco in the quarterfinals.
Allegri made just a few changes to the side which had defeated Borussia Dortmund in midweek, giving Simone Padoin and Fernando Llorente a start while taking a closer look at a three-man defence including Andrea Barzagli.
Any thoughts the Bianconeri might be tired or not focused after Wednesday's thrilling win in Germany were soon dismissed as they attacked like in any other game.
They took the lead in the 25th minute when Tevez showed his fine goal past Roman Weidenfeller on Wednesday was no fluke with a similarly stunning strike which hit the underside of the crossbar on its way past Mattia Perin.
The crossbar was struck again on the stroke of half-time with the ball this time rebounding to safety from Giorgio Chiellini's effort after Perin had made a save from Llorente.
Juve had the chance to double their lead on the hour mark when they were awarded a penalty for a foul by Facundo Roncaglia on Roberto Pereyra.
Eugenio Lamanna, who had taken the place of the injured Perin only moments earlier, guessed right to deny Tevez, making already his second penalty save in only his third Serie A appearance.
Allegri then started to make changes, giving Llorente, Stephan Lichtsteiner and Arturo Vidal a break without his side showing any sign of weakness.
They had no problems holding on to a win which brings a fourth straight Scudetto that little bit closer to Turin.
