Juventus reacted after PSG’s opening goal for the UEFA Champions League. After Kylian Mbappé’s goal (13′), the Italian team had the greatest possession of the ball and began to generate dangerous chances. In this way, the tie came at 39 minutes.
The play of the goal started by Manuel Locatelli who received the ball near the crescent of the small area and sent a pass to the right sector where Juan Guillermo Cuadrado was. The Colombian launched himself and sent the ball to the penalty spot with his head.
Then Leonardo Bonucci, who disguised himself as a striker, pushed the ball into the goal defended by Gianluigi Donnarumma. The captain’s goal unleashed the hubbub in Turin.
With the partial result, the Parisian team qualifies for the round of 16 as second place in group H due to Benfica’s victory, which remains in the lead. For its part, the Italian cast gets its place in the Europa League after finishing in third place.
The preview of Juventus vs. PSG
The ‘Bianconeros’ reached the final date of the Champions League in an unusual situation: they need to win to qualify for the Europa League. The team led by Massimiliano Allegri said goodbye to the race for the ‘Orejona’ earlier than expected and even at the risk of running out of continental competitions until the end of the campaign.
On top of that, Juventus is going through a crisis in the squad due to the number of absences. The striker Dusan Vlahovic has a problem in the adductor. While Weston McKennie drags muscle discomfort. Marley Ake, Paredes, Di Maria, Gleison Bremer, De Sciglio, Federico Chiesa, Samuel Iling-Junior and Kaio Jorge are the discards.
From their side, PSG wants to close this stage at the top of the group and taking advantage of the good form of their great figures. However, due to the accumulation of yellow cards, Neymar will not accompany Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé in attack. That place must be reserved for Pablo Sarabia, who along with Marco Verratti, will be the novelties.
