Spalletti argues with Marocchi: “If Cambiaso listens to you, he won’t play” Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti had a post-match spat with a TV presenter regarding Andrea Cambiaso and his role on the pitch. The Bianconeri earned a valuable victory over Udinese at the Bluenergy Stadium on Saturday, thanks to Jeremie Boga’s winner. ............ During his post-match interview with Sky Sport Italia, former Juventus midfieder, Giancarlo Marocchi, wondered why Cambiaso kept slipping to the middle of the park despite playing a left wing-back. “Cambiaso is always wandering all over the pitch. Does he cause more problems for the opponents or for the coach?” cheekily asked Marocchi. “If he stops wandering around the pitch, he won’t play anymore. If he listens to you, he won’t play anymore. It’s better for him to roam around, because he’s good at playing like a midfielder.” ............ Weston McKennie started the contest as a right wing-back, but as usual, he was spotted all over the pitch. The Texan even became a centre-forward at one stage during the second half prior to Jonathan David’s late introduction. ............ Moreover, Kenan Yildiz noticeably started as a false 9 in the absence of a genuine centre-forward. The Turkish star then returned to his accustomed role on the left wing, switching positions with Boga, in a manoeuvre that paid dividends, with both players collaborating to score the winner. .

Why Vlahovic didn’t join Juventus squad despite being fully fit While the Juventus fans expected to see Dusan Vlahovic in the matchday squad that travelled to Udine, the Serbian was left behind in Turin. Interestingly, Luciano Spalletti’s squad included three strikers, but none of them was in the starting lineup. Arkadiusz Milik hasn’t played a competitive fixture in almost two years, Jonathan David has been dropped following a barren run, while Lois Openda is already an afterthought at the club. Therefore, the manager started with Kenan Yildiz as a false 9, before switching Jeremie Boga to the role, in a move that immediately paid dividends, with the Turkish star creating the winner for the Ivorian. ............ The 26-year-old was expected to make the trip to Friuli this weekend, but ended up staying at Continassa. The former Fiorentina star has physically recovered from the high-grade lesion that has kept him on the sidelines since late November. However, the striker felt he wasn’t mentally ready to make his long-awaited return to the pitch, as he’s still worried about suffering a relapse, which is a common case among sportsmen who endure lengthy rehabilitation periods. ............ Vlahovic had also heeded Spalletti’s piece of advice, as the manager had told him he must only return to the field when he feels physically and psychologically up to the task. ............ Instead, Vlahovic made far better use of his time by staying at Continassa and continuing to work on regaining his best physical condition. The centre-forward will likely start on the bench when Juventus host Sassuolo at the Allianz Stadium next Saturday. .

Juventus star Thuram felt ‘attacked’ when Vinicius Jr. was racially abused Juventus midfielder Khephren Thuram says he felt ‘attacked’ when Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr. was allegedly racially abused during a Champions League match against Benfica: ‘It could have been me.’ Juventus star Thuram spoke out firmly against racism in an interview, addressing how he felt witnessing Vinicius Jr. allegedly subjected to racist abuse during a Champions League match against Benfica in February. “It’s difficult as a black boy. In 2026, you can still be attacked because of the colour of your skin,” the Juventus midfielder said. ............ Vinicius and other Real Madrid players accused Gianluca Prestianni of making racist remarks towards the Brazilian, but the Benfica talent denied the claims. ............ “Vinicius was attacked, and it’s as if I were the one being attacked. It could have been me. And all of this just because I’m black? I don’t have the answer to stop this. I don’t have the answer to stop it in stadiums,” Thuram continued. “Leaving the pitch might be a solution, but I want to play football. It’s my job, and I enjoy what I do. ............ “There should be stronger actions for those who behave like that. Why should I be the one to leave the field? He should be the one leaving the stadium. We have to stop this nonsense and start taking things seriously.” Thuram’s father, Lilian, a former Juventus and Parma defender and a 1998 France World Cup winner, is a well-known anti-racism activist, founder of the Lilian Thuram Foundation, which focuses on education to combat racism. ............ .

Initial updates on Thuram’s condition following his injury in Udine The Juventus fans were pleased with the vital win in Udine, but they’re simultaneously concerned about Khephren Thuram. ............ After the interval, Thuram was the first Juventus player to enter the field. It was later revealed that the Frenchman had to undergo an athletic test before deciding whether he could resume play. The 24-year-old was given the green light to rejoin his teammates on the pitch, but he only lasted a couple of minutes before being forced to leave the pitch, with Koopmeiners taking his place. ............ Thuram suffered a knock in his left ankle due to a blow he received during the first half of the contest. The source argues that his condition shouldn’t be serious; Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been allowed to return to the pitch after half-time. Nevertheless, the midfielder is expected to undergo clinical tests at the J|Medical Centre either on Sunday or Monday morning to determine the extent of his injury. ............ If the Frenchman were to forfeit, Koopmeiners would be the main candidate to start alongside Manuel Locatelli in the double pivot, but the Dutchman’s exploits in Turin have been too few and far between. ............ .

Le Pagelle: Udinese vs. Juventus It was a must-win game on Saturday when Juventus visited Udinese. Well, they all feel like must wins in a race for the top four this late in the season, but this one more than most. With the two teams immediately ahead of them, Roma and Como, playing each other on Sunday, getting three points was vital to take advantage of a scenario in which one or both was certain to drop points. After a mostly drab first half that saw Juve in control of an Udinese side that simply didn’t look like they wanted to come out to play, the Bianconeri finally got themselves in front after Luciano Spalletti made a quick position swap in his false nine setup. What followed for the next 50 minutes or so of game time saw Juve remain in command, but they couldn’t quite get themselves the goal that would put things away. ............ The final 1-0 scoreline wasn’t exactly representative of how the game went—but it was enough to put the pressure on the teams above them heading into their head-to-head showdown. ............ MATTIA PERIN - 6. ............ PIERRE KALULU - 6. ............ BREMER - 6.5. ............ LLOYD KELLY - 7. Kept Zaniolo quiet for all but a few brief moments, but his showcase today was his passing game. He dropped a couple of beautiful balls beyond the defense for Jérémie Boga to chase down, taking full advantage of Udinese’s seeming inability to deal with those balls all night. Co-led the team with four tackles as well. WESTON McKENNIE - 6.5. ............ MANUEL LOCATELLI - 7.5. Dropped some excellent long passes, going nine for 12 overall in that category, and causing a ton of danger with them. He was also denied a goal by a pretty great save from Maduka Okoye. KHÉPHREN THURAM - 5.5. ............ ANDREA CAMBIASO - 6. ............ FRANCISCO CONCEIÇÃO - 6.5. Unfairly deprived of a goal by a poor VAR decision, he also racked up a pair of key passes and actually looked up to see what was going on with his teammates more than usual. A performance to build on. JÉRÉMIE BOGA - 8. Tormented Udinese’s defense, consistently piercing their line to latch on to long balls. He was on target with four of his five shots, and the run he made for his goal was perfect, staying just behind his marker to give Kenan Yildiz a perfect target for his pass. KENAN YILDIZ - 8. Should’ve had three assists today but had to settle for one. He had more key passes (6) than Udinese did as a team (5), and led the team in dribbles as well with three. He was clearly unlocked by the decision to swap him and Boga late in the first half, a decision that gave him a bit more room to operate. I still maintain that Yildiz belongs in the middle of the field more so than out wide, but that should be as a trequartista, where he has a striker and runners from the midfield to spread the defense’s attention, as opposed to a false nine that’s going to be the first man on the defense’s list. SUBS TEUN KOOPMEINERS - 6. ............ FABIO MIRETTI - NR. ............ FEDERICO GATTI - NR. ............ JONATHAN DAVID - NR. ............ FILIP KOSTIC - NR. ............ MANAGER ANALYSIS Spalletti stayed with what had worked in Turin last week against Pisa, benching the scuffling David for a false-nine setup. As noted, the change he made late in the first half in swapping Yildiz and Boga worked wonders to give his No. 10 some space to orchestrate, and once he got that space, he did how Yildiz do. It remains to be seen whether the room that Juve’s attackers had to get behind Udinese was a product of Udinese defending poorly—seeing that much room in behind a team that has no intention of attacking is rare—or if the false nine forced them into playing a little higher up because there was no traditional striker to fall into the box with. It’s definitely worth finding out, especially with Juve’s next two games being against more provincial sides. Of course, the imminent return of Dusan Vlahovic is going to have an impact on how much that false nine is played in the coming weeks, but it’s worth testing whether or not it becomes a consistent opportunity to generate offense. ............ .

Spalletti explains why Conceicao’s goal was valid, identifies Yildiz weakness Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti was pleased with his team’s display against Udinese, but feels hard done by the officiating. ............ After the match, Spalletti was asked if his Juventus side has the upper hand over their two other Champions League hopefuls. “Maybe you (the journalists) were among those who two games ago were saying we weren’t a top-level team,” said the 67-year-old in his post-match interview. “Juventus are a top team when they play top-level football, when the players stay on their feet, when the team actually plays, and when under aggressive pressing, they find space instead of just clearing the ball. When they attack in depth along the line. “Juventus are stronger when they play the way they did tonight. These are the performances that put us back on the plane of the most beautiful matches in football. If we play like this, we can board that plane. Otherwise, it becomes much more difficult.” ............ “The sporting directors did well. They were the ones who brought in Boga. He had been training on his own for a long time, and we had to get him back into condition. “But because he’s a player with explosive, muscular pace, it didn’t take him long to regain form. Tonight, he did well both as a winger and as a centre-forward. “I was pleased with his performance. I had never used him through the middle before, but he moved really well as a striker.” ............ “Kenan Yıldız, on the other hand, doesn’t feel completely comfortable in the middle. He still lacks that striker’s instinct of feeling the defender breathing down his neck. “He needs to be able to choose what to do, see the ball and the opponent, then attack the space on his own and arrive there with momentum. But starting from that position caused him a few problems.” ............ “The match should have been finished with Conceicao’s goal, which, for me, is valid. The only point raised is his proximity to the goalkeeper, but the player isn’t standing still, and he’s moving in the opposite direction, while the goalkeeper can always see the ball. “Otherwise, we go back to what was said against Lazio when our goal was disallowed. They said he was a bit close, but that proximity didn’t matter then. “The goalkeeper didn’t complain, no one said anything. Against Lazio, that closeness didn’t matter. Tonight’s performance shouldn’t be questioned; it’s not right to put it in doubt after what the team produced.” ............ .

Juventus player ratings vs Udinese: Generous Yildiz ran the show Juventus temporarily jumped to fourth place in the Serie A standings after earning a slim yet crucial away victory over Udinese. The visitors dominated the action at the Bluenergy Stadium, but only Jeremie Boga got on the scoresheet with a poacher’s goal. Francisco Conceicao thought he had doubled the Old Lady’s lead, but his strike was chalked off for an offside on Teun Koopmeiners following a VAR check. ............ Juventus XI (3-4-2-1) Mattia Perin – 6.5 ............ Pierre Kalulu – 6 ............ Gleison Bremer – 7 The Brazilian found an opponent capable of matching his physical power in Keinan Davis, but managed to come out on top. Lloyd Kelly – 6.5 The English defender put Boga through on goal with a lovely vertical play. Showed his shrewdness by committing a tactical foul on Nicolo Zaniolo late in the game, earning himself a yellow card. Weston McKennie – 6.5 ............ Manuel Locatelli – 7.5 A fantastic performance from the Juventus captain, who bossed the middle of the park and won back possession on countless occasions, including one that led to Conceicao’s disallowed goal. His through ball to Yildiz instigated the winner. Andrea Cambiaso – 6.5 ............ Francisco Conceicao – 7 The Portuguese winger gave Thomas Kristensen and Christian Kabasele nightmares with his pace and trickery. He was unfortunate to see his goal ruled out for an offside on Koopmeiners. Jeremie Boga – 7.5 The Ivorian had a full debut to remember, especially after switching to the false 9 role. He made a timely run to place himself in the right spot to poach the winner. He also came close to scoring on a few other occasions while also creating some chances for his teammates. Kenan Yildiz – 8 The Turkish star had a limited impact when leading the line, but almost immediately provided the assist for Boga’s winner after returning to his original role on the left wing. He was able to dribble past his markers almost at will and provide his teammates with glorious chances that were wasted more often than not. The VAR intervention denied him a second assist. Substitutes Teun Koopmeiners – 5.5 The Dutchman squandered possession with a few poor passes, and his offside position cost Conceicao a well-deserved goal. Fabio Miretti – 5.5 ............

Udinese 0 - Juventus 1: Initial reaction and random observations We have reached the point in the 2025-26 season and chase for a spot in the top four where we don’t really care how Juventus win just as long as they collect all three points that are on the table on any given day. A 4-0 win like we saw last weekend against Pisa? Great! A 1-0 win that had you thinking Luciano Spalletti suddenly morphed into Max Allegri for the final 15 or 20 minutes and there was a little corto muso stuffed into Lucio’s rain jacket? Whatever works! On Saturday night in Udine, we saw Juventus team that probably should have won by more than just the 1-0 scoreline suggested, but then shut up shop late to ensure that they would come away with three points in what was looked at as a must-win situation ahead of what’s to come 24 hours later. Juve got the three points thanks to Kenan Yildiz and Jérémie Boga teaming up for a wonderful quick-strike goal late in the first half and make it stand to lift the Bianconeri into fourth place ahead of Sunday night’s clash between the two teams that entered the weekend directly in front of them, Roma and Como. ............ We saw Spalletti roll with the move that he made in the second half of last weekend’s win over Pisa from the opening whistle with Yildiz as a false 9. It was nowhere near as effective, with the anticipated lack of space against a Udinese squad that was happy to cede possession to Juve resulting in things being hard to come by. But you know what good managers do? They realize they sometimes need to correct the mistakes of their original ways, and that is what Spalletti did. The change: Yildiz back to the left wing, Boga into the free-roaming role as the false 9. The result: Juventus changing for the better — which usually means Yildiz doing Yildiz things and absolutely cooking whoever the hell tries to stop him from being wonderful out on the left wing. Just look at the goal itself as Exhibit A as to why this switch up from Spalletti paid off following the Yildiz as a false 9 decision to start the game didn’t exactly work as well as we hoped it would. You get a great ball over the top from Lloyd Kelly. You get Yildiz running in space and creating things as he has done so many times this season already. You get Yildiz serving a great cross to Boga, who was the only one who had a chance at it because it was put on an absolute dime. It’s just that good — and that doesn’t happen unless Spalletti makes the switch a few minutes earlier to get Yildiz back into the position in which he excels. It should have ended up being more than a 1-0 win. You can thank both the refereeing, the lack of a final end product outside of Boga’s third goal in as many games and Udinese goalkeeper Maduka Okoye making some quality saves to keep it at a one-goal advantage in favor of Spalletti’s squad. And that is why we saw Spalletti hunker down in the closing minutes to secure the three points — he knew how important this win was considering what’s on the schedule on Sunday. ............ And when you desperately need points like Juventus do these days, it doesn’t really matter how you get it. They got the three points. They moved into fourth place. They put the pressure on Roma and Como for the next 24 hours. That is what this team needs to do. And now they get to sit back in their respective houses, eat a nice meal and watch Roma and Como hopefully play to a draw on Sunday night. Job done. RANDOM THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS Did you notice that Spalletti was wearing a jacket underneath his rain jacket? It made me laugh! Breaking news: Kenan Yildiz is pretty damn good. Just watching that young man do fun things is a treat. We are lucky he plays for Juventus. He officially had one assist. He should have three, but a multitude of reasons prevented that from happening. The guy is now level with Nico Paz in terms of goal contributions and showing why he is the clear-cut best player on this team. No wonder he looks exhausted when he comes off the field — he’s making so many things happen. Yildiz had six key passes against Udinese. That young man was doing things. Udinese had five key passes as a team on Saturday night. ............ Speaking of the other one of those shoulda-been assists, you gotta love Serie A refereeing in 2026. It’s proving to be just as maddening as it was in 2025, 2024 and 2023. That should have been 2-0, the goal shoulda have stood and I’m having a hard time thinking otherwise. But hey, anything to go to VAR and screw Juventus out of something good, right? Spalletti says Chico Conceição’s goal should have stood. Good! I agree! Jérémie Boga xG in the first half: 1.21. Udinese team xG in the first half: 0.14. Boga is starting to look like a really incredible piece of business. A buy option of less than €5 million? Yeah, give me that every day of the week. Hell, pick up the buy option right now. He’s worth it. You aren’t getting somebody for that kind of price on the transfer market this summer. ............ The last couple of starts, Perin has been solid. He hasn’t been tasked with much, obviously, but he’s done the job that is needed and Juventus haven’t allowed a goal in back-to-back goals. There have been close calls and better teams may well make Juve pay, but we’ll take every single shutout we can get at this point because that just means there’s a good chance the Bianconeri just won. Is Gleison Bremer hurt with some kind of minor yet nagging injury? Is he tired? Is it maybe a little bit of both? Either way, Bremer doesn’t look like the dominant defender that we’ve seen so many times before. There appear to be some cracks in his Brazilian armor. Hopefully the week in between games to close out the season help, but it still is hard to miss the massive wrap on his thigh and think it doesn’t have at least a little something to do with how he’s playing. Manuel Locatelli good. Manuel Locatelli really good. Some of the passes this man has been playing lately just aren’t ones he was maybe even attempting under previous managers. But Spalletti has this man absolutely flowing with confidence — and it’s showing with his play. A sign of where Spalletti’s faith is with his strikers: Yildiz as a false 9, Jonathan David coming on in the 92nd minute and Loïs Openda not even seeing the field once again. That says a lot right there. ............ Pierre Kalulu’s crossing has been great this season. When did this man become prime Alex Sandro but on the right wing? I, for one, welcome this development. Lloyd Kelly dropping dangerous pass after dangerous pass over the top? Where do I sign up for more of this? Let us pray that Khephren Thuram coming off injured is a minor thing because we don’t need important players getting injured with two months to go in the season. If he does have to miss some time, at least there’s an international break coming up, right? (Yeah, I actually might be looking forward to an international break! Weirder things may actually happen.) ............

Udinese 0-1 Juventus – Bianconeri saviours Boga & Yildiz react to hard-fought win Juventus ground out a crucial 1-0 victory at Udinese to move into fourth place in Serie A, with Jeremie Boga’s winning goal, his third in consecutive matches, proving the difference in a hard-fought contest that tested the Bianconeri’s resolve throughout. Boga was the toast of the travelling support and spoke to Sky Sport afterwards with the relaxed confidence of a man in the form of his life. Asked whether he had ever scored in three consecutive games before, the former Sassuolo and Nice winger laughed off the question. “I don’t know, I don’t think so,” he said with a grin. ............ He credited Luciano Spalletti’s hands-on approach in training for his recent run of form. “He always speaks to me and asks me to improve. I work hard and my teammates have welcomed me brilliantly, I want to give 100% every match.” ............ “I had problems with consistency, but at Atalanta and Nice I learned a lot and grew as a player. Now I am happy to be here at Juventus and I hope to continue like this.” ............ “For me it is wonderful to play with someone of Yildiz' quality. He is a player I watch and learn from, people like him make me love football.” Yildiz, meanwhile, was characteristically humble despite reaching the remarkable milestone of ten goals and ten assists for the season. “It is good, but everything is for the team,” Yildiz said. “I have not set myself personal targets other than to keep doing more for the squad, the rest takes care of itself.” He did acknowledge, however, that his development this season has been significant. “I think I have grown a lot mentally. I am happy with the path I am on, and I believe I can do even more.” ............ . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/udinese-0-1-juventus-bianconeri-boga-yildiz/

E sono parecchie le partite influenzate quest'anno dalle decisioni arbitrali errate con o senza consultare il var.

Bel risultato per noi l'1-1

Spalletti: ‘Boga’s new role surprising, Cambiaso versatility helps Juventus’ Luciano Spalletti was ‘surprised’ by Jeremie Boga’s new role for Juventus against Udinese and insists Andrea Cambiaso needs to ‘wander all over the pitch’ to be effective. ............ It was a tough slog at the Bluenergy Stadium, but Boga proved decisive with his third goal in as many Serie A games, this time turning in the Kenan Yildiz assist. Francisco Conceicao had also put the ball in the net, though it was disallowed because Teun Koopmeiners was offside and interfering with play. ............ “The team did really well, maintaining that level of determination to close the game as soon as possible. We had also scored a second, but that’s fine, because we were up against a very strong opponent,” Spalletti said. ............ “I had never put Boga there, I always played him on the left, but he surprised me with the way he moved as a striker today,” confessed the coach. “Yildiz I’ve said before doesn’t entirely enjoy being a centre-forward because he doesn’t yet have the art of dealing with a defender who is constantly on his tail. Starting from there I think creates problems for him.” ............ “The lads did well to put those balls over the top, because if you let Udinese defend inside their own half, you’re not getting through that blockade,” noted Spalletti. “So rather than allow them to be comfortable in those physical situations, we preferred to put them on the back foot by forcing them to run back.” ............ “If Cambiaso doesn’t wander around all over the pitch, then I won’t pick him,” replied Spalletti to criticism from the Sky Sport Italia studio. “These aren’t spaces, they are half-spaces, and you need players who can find them and drag others out of position. Being able to find those spaces where they open up is a quality that benefits the team.” ............ “When we see more of the ball, then we defend better. Possession isn’t just a superficial exercise, it is used to create chances, and that doesn’t mean taking unnecessary risks. You consolidate the dominance of the game, and then choose the moments when should take those risks. We were perfect in that today, not allowing Udinese many counter-attacks that we had to chase back,” replied Spalletti. “This reflects the mentality, as tonight we played with the mentality of a strong team.” ............ .

Runjaic: ‘Juventus have world class players and Udinese cannot compete now’ Kosta Runjaic admits Udinese ‘were not able to compete on the same level’ with a practically full-strength Juventus. ‘They have world class players like Kenan Yildiz and Jeremie Boga.’ The Friulani suffered a 1-0 home defeat this evening, as Boga turned in the assist from Kenan Yildiz to beat Maduka Okoye, the goalkeeper having made several big saves. ............ Francisco Conceicao had also managed to find the net, but it was disallowed because Teun Koopmeiners was considered to be interfering with play in an offside position. “Juventus played better, that is clear, we expected to have less possession, but were missing a little bit of quality at times. We also had chances, soccer is not just about playing better, but taking the chances,” Runjaic said. ............ “Juventus are a strong team, they have world class wide players like Yildiz and Conceicao, so right now we are not able to compete on the same level.” ............ “Juventus are a very versatile team, they are able to play short combinations, but also dangerous with deep balls from Locatelli, and one of those we didn’t defend well enough, so they scored the goal. It is not easy to protect a fantastic deep ball like that, they have players who are running deep and can receive with one touch. “It’s not easy to find the balance, we did better in the second half, but that is just one of many elements.” ............ “It’s nothing new, Yildiz played many times as a winger, so it was just a matter of time. We were completely aware about this, but were also missing players like Zanoli, Bertola and Solet. It is not an excuse, but we were unable to perform with a full squad. “On the other hand, Juve put all their quality out without any big injuries at the moment, so if it wasn’t Yildiz, then Conceicao would do something. We don’t need to look for micro-details, it’s not about this.” . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/runjaic-juventus-world-class-players-udinese/

Juventus secure important win at Udinese to keep top-four hopes alive Juventus secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Udinese this evening, keeping their hopes of finishing in the top four alive and strengthening their chances of qualifying for the Champions League. The result represents an important step for the Bianconeri as they continue their push during the final weeks of the Serie A season. The Bianconeri understand that maintaining a consistent run of victories is essential if they are to secure a place among the league’s leading teams. ............ While Juventus have often begun matches positively this season, converting those early moments of pressure into goals has sometimes proven difficult. On this occasion, however, they managed to find the breakthrough before the interval. The decisive moment arrived in the 38th minute when Jeremie Boga scored to give Juventus a deserved lead. The goal rewarded the visitors for their attacking intent and allowed them to head into the break with a valuable advantage. ............ The team returned for the second half with the same focus and continued to control large portions of the game. Francisco Conceicao appeared to double the lead shortly after the restart, but his effort was eventually ruled out for offside following a review. Although the goal did not stand, Juventus maintained their dominance and continued searching for a second goal to secure the result. Despite creating further pressure, the Bianconeri were unable to extend their advantage. Nevertheless, their disciplined defending ensured that Udinese could not find an equaliser. ............ .

Serie A | Udinese 0-1 Juventus: Boga gets Old Lady back on track Jeremie Boga scored for the third Serie A match in a row to give Juventus a precious 1-0 victory away to Udinese, but a Francisco Conceicao goal was disallowed. ............ Boga got down the left to force a tricky save out of Maduka Okoye at the near post, then Francisco Conceicao scuffed the finish on the resulting short corner and had another attempt charged down by Thomas Kristensen. ............ Juventus took the lead when another long ball allowed Kenan Yildiz to spring the offside trap down the left, holding off Oier Zarraga to roll across for a Boga tap-in from six yards.
