Our man Pirlo has been tasked quite a bit so far (28 minutes in) with defending Messi, as Messi seems to be placing himself in a playmaking midfield role so far more than his recent front right position.
In general, Juve has been leaving Messi absurdly open and as such have allowed him several key play-switching passes.
