Juventus 2-0 Man City Stats: Vlahovic and McKennie Hand Guardiola Another Defeat Manchester City slipped to a 2-0 defeat at Juventus in the Champions League, leaving them in 22nd place in the league phase and having it all to do to qualify. Goals from Dusan Vlahovic and Weston McKennie in Allianz Stadium condemned Pep Guardiola’s men to a seventh defeat in their last 10 games in all competitions, having won just once in that time. Kenan Yildiz made his sixth appearance in the Champions League; the joint-most by a Juventus player in the competition before turning 20 (also six for Fabio Miretti and Paul Pogba). The Turkish youngster provided the assist to break the deadlock in the 53rd minute too, crossing for Vlahovic to nod in at the far post despite Ederson’s effort to keep it out. City tried to come back into it, dominating the ball for large periods, but found themselves 2-0 down when Timothy Weah crossed for McKennie to volley home. Thiago Motta’s side are up to 13th in the table, but Man City have it all to do in their final two games. ............ Juventus vs Man City: Post-Match Facts Juventus are now unbeaten in their last six meetings with Manchester City (W4 D2), with this now the Citizens’ longest ever winless run against an opponent in European competition. Man City have lost seven of their last 10 matches across all competitions (W1 D2), as many defeats as they had suffered in their previous 105 matches combined (7). City have gone eight games without a clean sheet away from home in all competitions; the joint-longest such run of Pep Guardiola’s managerial career (also a run of eight in October 2016). .

Juventus CFO Giuntoli: Conceiçao staying “100%” Cristiano Giuntoli, Chief Football Officer of Juventus, spoke before the Champions League match against Manchester City, addressing several key topics regarding the club’s current situation and future plans. Giuntoli expressed satisfaction with the team’s performance, stating, “We always want to do more and better. We’re pleased that Motta doesn’t cling to excuses, but objectively, many things have happened. We’re holding on a bit longer and waiting for some players to return. We think little about the outside, only about ourselves. We’ve seen an extraordinary attitude from the boys; they’re giving everything.” ............ Addressing rumors about Conceiçao’s future, Giuntoli was unequivocal: “The relationships with Conceiçao and his agent are excellent; we want him to stay with us. The probability that he stays with us? 100%.” This statement comes amid speculation about the player’s future, with Juventus set to pay an additional €30 million in the summer to make the loan permanent, following the initial €7 million loan fee. ............ .

Juventus 2-0 Man City: Player ratings as Vlahovic punishes Guardiola's side in Turin Manchester City have now lost seven of their last ten games across all competitions following Champions League defeat at the hands of Juventus on Wednesday night. Juve ran out 2-0 winners in Turin to claim victory in Europe for the first time since matchday two and climb to withing touching distance of the all-important top eight with two games of the league phase left to play. City, meanwhile, have slipped to 22nd and are in danger of missing out on the knockout rounds altogether if they can't find a way to stop the rot. ............ A close-range header from Dusan Vlahovic that Ederson couldn't keep out broke the deadlock shortly after the break. The City goalkeeper saved well from Federico Gatti's acrobatic side volley, but could only fumble Vlahovic's effort over the line when Kenan Yildiz put the ball back into the box. City had a little spell of pressure as they looked to respond and went close to equalising a couple of times before Juve doubled their advantage against the run of play. Both off the bench, Timothy Weah and Weston McKennie combined for the latter to smash in an excellent volley a few yards out.

Juventus secure a stunning 2-0 victory over Manchester City Juventus claimed an impressive 2-0 win against Premier League champions Manchester City in the Champions League tonight. Facing one of the strongest clubs in the world, Juve knew they needed to display immense character and resilience. ............ Juve came close to falling behind before the break when Erling Haaland found himself through on goal, but Michele Di Gregorio pulled off a crucial save to deny the Norwegian striker. With that moment of danger behind them, Juventus regrouped, knowing they needed to step up and find the breakthrough. The first half ended goalless, but just seven minutes into the second half, Dusan Vlahović broke the deadlock. Rising highest to meet a cross, his header was mishandled by Ederson, crossing the line before the Manchester City goalkeeper could recover. ............ Substitutes Timothy Weah and Weston McKennie then combined to devastating effect just six minutes after coming onto the pitch. Juventus had proven themselves the better team on the night. Their hunger to defend their lead and their solid teamwork enabled them to secure an outstanding victory over the reigning Premier League champions. .

After Dusan Vlahovic and Nicolò Savona returned versus Bologna, Weston McKennie and Douglas Luiz will do so against Manchester City midweek. The two have reprised training with the rest of the group during the preparation for the Champions League clash, Sky Italy informed. Andrea Cambiaso won’t need to miss time after bowing out early against the Felsinei due to an ankle contusion. Thiago Motta confirmed their availability during his pre-game presser. ............ Juventus will have their entire midfield for the first time in the season. Instead, the frontline will remain a little undermanned. Nicolas Gonzalez will continue to miss time. Arkadiusz Milik needs one or two weeks to complete his rehab from a second knee surgery. The Old Lady hasn’t won in their past three Champions League matches, collecting two draws and one loss, after starting with two victories. They sit in 19th position, 2 points away from the top 8 and 4 above the elimination area. ............ . Read more -> https://cultofcalcio.com/juventus-recover-more-men-for-manchester-city-fixture/

For Juventus, this game presents both a stern test and a valuable opportunity to measure themselves against elite competition. ............ Speaking about the upcoming game, Motta highlighted the magnitude of the occasion: “A great opportunity to face a big club like Manchester City. As always, we prepared for the match to give our best, grow as a team, improve as a team, always going onto the pitch with great concentration. On what we must avoid.” ............ This fixture is not only a chance for Juventus to revive their Champions League hopes but also an opportunity for Motta to make a lasting impression as a manager. ............ .

Yildiz pleases Juventus coach Motta with tactical answer ahead of Man City clash Juventus talent Kenan Yildiz pleases his coach Thiago Motta by answering a tactical question and insists that playing Manchester City in the Champions League is a ‘dream come true.’ Yildiz held a pre-match press conference at the Allianz Stadium, attended by Football Italia, on the eve of a big Champions League game against Manchester City. ............ “It’s a big game tomorrow; it’s a dream come true,” Yildiz said. “It’s a big game for me, so I will give my best for the team. As I said before, I hope it will be good.” ............ “Man City is a great team. Two years ago, they won the Champions League. If I have to pick one, it’s probably Haaland, but it’s an honour to play against them tomorrow,” Yildiz replied. ............ Yildiz was asked about his relationship with coach Thiago Motta, who was sitting close to him, but the Old Lady’s boss didn’t seem to enjoy the question. “He’s a great coach and a legend as a player, and I am grateful to have him next to me,” said Yildiz. The following question upset Motta even more as a reporter asked the striker whether he’d like to play closer to the goal. Motta argued that the journalist’s question was “unfair”, but Yildiz replied: “I play where the coach wants me to play.” His answer satisfied Motta: “Well done, Kenan,” he said, smiling. ............ .

Pavan says tomorrow could be a turning point in Juventus’ season Juventus is set to face Manchester City tomorrow in a critical Champions League fixture that could define their season. A victory is essential for Juve to keep their hopes alive of advancing to the knockout stages, as they have already lost one game and failed to secure a win in their last three matches in the competition. Another defeat could deal a devastating blow to their aspirations, both competitively and financially, as progression in the Champions League is vital for the club’s economic stability and reputation. ............ Massimo Pavan, a noted commentator, shared his thoughts on the significance of the game: “We can try to play it, also taking advantage of the moment that the English are going through. Certainly winning would help a lot also from a psychological point of view. This year we are not coming from great performances at home, but tomorrow we hope to finally see a turning point.” ............ .

Guardiola insists they are coming to play the biggest club in Italy Manchester City will face Juventus in their next Champions League match, with the Premier League champions travelling to Turin this week. This high-stakes clash sees both sides grappling with their own challenges, setting the stage for an intriguing encounter. Manchester City is enduring a difficult spell, struggling to secure wins, and their star striker, Erling Haaland, has not been in his usual prolific scoring form. ............ On the other hand, Juventus has also faced inconsistencies this season. Despite losing only one match in all competitions, the Italian giants have had trouble converting draws into wins. That lone defeat came in the Champions League, making the matchup against City critical for Juve’s European campaign. ............ Ahead of the game, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola spoke highly of Juventus, underscoring their historical significance in Italian and European football: “We are going to Turin to play against the most important team in Italy together with Milan and Inter, but in terms of Serie A, the team that has won the most. It is a beautiful stadium, and we will try to get a good result. The doctors and physiotherapists are working incredibly this season, like I have never seen before, but the reality is that we have few players to rotate in this period.” ............ .

Preview: Juventus vs. Manchester City Two teams struggling to meet expectations will convene in Turin on Wednesday evening, when Juventus host an ailing Manchester City in the Champions League. Almost side by side in the league-phase standings, Juve have regularly failed to turn one point into three this season, while City are enduring a crisis of confidence. Match preview ............ Following their 4-1 loss to Sporting CP in Lisbon, that result continued a downward trend stretching back several weeks, and the reigning Premier League champions are enduring by far their worst run of form since Pep Guardiola took charge. ............ City's current five-match winless run against Juventus is their joint-longest against any opponent in UEFA competition - though this is the first time they have faced the Bianconeri during Guardiola's reign. After losing the clubs' very first meeting back in 1976, Juventus have since stayed unbeaten against their next visitors, winning three times and drawing twice. Like City, though, Juve are occupying an insecure place in this season's Champions League standings, having won both of their first two games before picking up just a couple of points from the next three. After their first - and still only - defeat of the 2024-25 campaign, against Stuttgart, Thiago Motta's men went on to play out stalemates with Lille and Aston Villa last month. Yet another draw last weekend - their 19th in the league since the start of the year - also saw the two-time European champions fall further off the pace in the Serie A title race, and they are now seven points shy of top spot. In fact, they were quite fortunate to avoid a first top-flight loss on Saturday evening, when they had to fight back from two goals down to draw at home to Bologna: Teun Koopmeiners reduced the deficit, before substitute Samuel Mbangula netted a 92nd-minute equaliser. That made it four straight draws across all competitions, and seven in the last nine; yet, the Turin giants can still boast Serie A's best defensive record, with just 10 goals conceded and 10 clean sheets from 15 games so far. Team News ............ Juventus have recently seen their packed treatment room lose a couple of regulars, as star striker Dusan Vlahovic started on Saturday having missed three weeks with a thigh injury, and Nicolo Savona also returned to action. The latter will vie with former Man City defender Danilo for selection at full-back, while Thiago Motta is set to stick with Pierre Kalulu and Federico Gatti in the centre. However, Nico Gonzalez, Weston McKennie and another ex-City player, Douglas Luiz, still join ACL victims Juan Cabal and Bremer on the sidelines; versatile wide man Andrea Cambiaso may be ruled out by an ankle sprain. Juventus possible starting lineup: Perin; Savona, Kalulu, Gatti, Danilo; Locatelli, Thuram; Conceicao, Koopmeiners, Weah; Vlahovic Manchester City possible starting lineup: Ortega; Walker, Dias, Gvardiol, Lewis; Gundogan; Savinho, De Bruyne, Silva, Nunes; Haaland We say: Juventus 1-1 Manchester City Although they certainly know how to keep a clean sheet, Juventus are a work in progress during the first phase of Thiago Motta's reign, so Manchester City should claim at least one point. . Recent results have left City shaken, but Juve have actually lost four of their last six home matches in the Champions League - as many as throughout the previous 40 - and injuries have thinned out their squad too. .

Juventus full-back already had an ankle issue before suffering injury against Bologna Juventus left-back Andrea Cambiaso was reportedly carrying a knock before succumbing to injury last weekend. ............ But while the Italian left the pitch with a concerned look on his face, the medical tests provided some sort of relief, ruling out any serious injuries. The club revealed that the versatile full-back has only suffered a strain in his left ankle, so he shouldn’t be out of action for long. In fact, some remain hopeful of an immediate return in Wednesday’s Champions League contest against Manchester City. However, Cambiaso had already been dealing with a problem in his ankle prior to his injury. The Italy international had a sore ankle, and even had to take injections ahead of the previous encounter against Lecce. The source suggests that the knock he sustained against Bologna was a consequence of the extra effort he put into making himself available for the team. ............ So at this point, we can only hope that the absentees return as swiftly as possible, as the team can ill-afford to navigate through the over-packed schedule with such a thin squad. ............ .

Juventus lineup vs. Manchester City: Predicted XI for Champions League clash Set to welcome Manchester City to Turin on Wednesday evening, draw specialists Juventus will be seeking a first win in four Champions League matches. Like their Premier League counterparts, the Serie A giants have recently seen their treatment room overflowing with injured players, and many will still be missing in midweek. ............ In better news for Bianconeri boss Thiago Motta, his main marksman Dusan Vlahovic returned to the starting XI on Saturday, having missed almost a month with the thigh injury he picked up while representing Serbia. ............ Support for the hosts' lone striker is usually provided by Teun Koopmeiners, with Francisco Conceicao - who has completed 18 dribbles in four Champions League games this season - favourite to occupy the right flank. Motta must choose between Kenan Yildiz and a recently revived Timothy Weah to start on the left, and Juve's highly-rated head coach will also weigh up his options at full-back. Following a brief layoff, Nicolo Savona returned to action at the weekend, while former Man City defender Danilo and Italy international Andrea Cambiaso can play on either side - albeit the latter has suffered an ankle sprain and may miss out. ............ Juventus possible starting lineup: Perin; Savona, Kalulu, Gatti, Danilo; Locatelli, Thuram; Conceicao, Koopmeiners, Weah; Vlahovic .

UCL: referee for Manchester City clash sparks Juventus’ bitter memories UEFA have appointed French referee Clément Turpin for Juventus’ Champions League big clash against Manchester City. The Bianconeri will host the Premier League giants on Wednesday at the Allianz Stadium, and UEFA have decided to pick a profile with significant European experience to oversee the game. ............ The 42-year-old also evokes bad memories for the Bianconeri, as he was the referee of the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, which saw Ajax come back from behind at the Allianz Stadium to knock the Old Lady out of the competition. Before that, he crossed paths with Juventus in 2017, when they drew 1-1 against Sporting Lisbon in the group stage. ............ .

Who will replace Cambiaso against Man City? Two options available Juventus coach Thiago Motta will reportedly have to choose between two solutions if Andrea Cambiaso fails to return in time for the clash against Manchester City. ............ Motta is forced to contemplate other solutions. Two options have surfaced to replace the versatile star if required. The first would be the direct swap witnessed on Saturday when Jonas Rouhi came in for his injured teammate. The 20-year-old Swede is a natural left-back, so he would fit seamlessly in this role, even though he’s yet to truly showcase his worth since earning a promotion to the first team. The alternative option would be switching Danilo to the left flank and bringing in Nicolo Savona at right-back. ............ .
