Juventus Defeats Manchester City 2-0 with Teamwork in Champions League
Juventus manager Thiago Motta has shed light on how his team managed to secure a crucial 2-0 victory over Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
The match, held at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, saw goals from Dusan Vlahovic and Weston McKennie seal the win for the Italian giants against Pep Guardiola’s formidable side.
After the game, Motta praised his players’ commitment, attributing the victory to a combination of tactical discipline, teamwork, and sheer determination.
Speaking to Amazon Prime Video Italia, Motta reflected on the performance, saying, “We played with heart and soul, but also with our heads.
The lads showed the desire to do things the right way.”
The Juventus boss acknowledged the challenge of facing a team like Manchester City, known for their relentless possession and attacking style.
“We knew we would have to defend deeper than usual, but we did it together. It was all about unity and timing.
When we attacked, we did it as a team and struck when the opportunity came,” he explained.
Dusan Vlahovic, who has been a key player for Juventus since joining from Fiorentina, opened the scoring with a clinical finish.
Motta also took a moment to acknowledge the return of several players from injury.
“Having some players back in shape was crucial. Our medical staff has done an incredible job, and it made a big difference today,” he added.
He further praised the substitutes, saying, “Those who came off the bench played their part and gave much-needed support.”
Former Manchester United player, Jesse Lingard, has revealed that he has mutually agreed to leave FC Seoul and his contract will end. It is reported that he will leave next week.
It can be noted that the footballer joined in February 2024 and has made 66 appearances since then, scoring 18 goals.
The player shared his experience on social media, saying “My time in South Korea has been unbelievable — the football, the atmosphere, and the passion around this club have been top class.”
“The love, support, and appreciation you have shown towards me over these last two years has been truly amazing. I’ll always be grateful for the opportunity to play for such a massive club.”
Former footballer, Rio Ferdinand compares Arsenal star player, Bukayo Saka, to Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
When comparing players, he shared that: “When Saka is on it, he looks unplayable,” however he also stated that even with Salah’s stature, he is strong.
He has got the strength like Mohamed Salah. He is small in frame and size when you look at him, but do you ever see him get pushed off the ball?
“You don’t really see people take the ball off him or put him on his arse. He is a strong little guy.”
Former Chelsea player Frank Leboeuf speaks on recent league matches and names two clubs that can really challenge Arsenal this season, Manchester City and Chelsea.
During a recent interview when speaking about Arsenal, he shared “They are still the big favourites [for the title], but they will have to prove it. They lost four points against Sunderland and Chelsea. Manchester City are back, Chelsea are still there.”
“We will have the winter period, which will start very soon, so let’s see,” he said.
