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.”

The Super Eagles are aiming for their first away win against Rwanda in Friday’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier. Nigeria has struggled to beat the Amavubi in Kigali, with three previous meetings ending without a win.

The last time they faced Rwanda in a World Cup qualifier at the Amahoro Stadium was in 2004, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

In 2011, both teams played to a goalless draw in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at the Stade Regional de Nyamirambo. Another goalless draw followed in September last year during a 2025 AFCON qualifying match at the Amahoro Stadium.

With three draws and one loss from their first four games, the Super Eagles are in fifth place in Group C with just three points. Rwanda, on the other hand, sits comfortably in second place with seven points. The Super Eagles need to break their winless streak to keep their World Cup hopes alive.

Rapper Tochukwu Ojogwu, better known as Odumodublvck, has stirred up a heated debate with his latest take on Nigerian football.

The Cast crooner recently declared Mikel Obi as the greatest Nigerian footballer of all time in a post on X, which quickly sparked mixed reactions.

While some agreed with his choice, others argued that players like Rashidi Yekini, Kanu Nwankwo, and Austin Jay-Jay Okocha deserve the title instead.

Mikel Obi had an impressive club career, winning two Premier League titles, four FA Cups, and a Champions League with Chelsea.

On the international stage, he helped Nigeria win the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations and secured a bronze medal at the 2016 Olympics. He also came close to being named African Footballer of the Year in 2013, finishing as the runner-up.
