A victory of character and quality. Juventus conquers the “Red Bull Arena” by winning 3-2 over Marco Rose’s Leipzig. Yet the evening started very badly for Thiago Motta who lost both within ten minutes Bremer due to a knee injury is Nico Gonzalez due to a muscle problem. In the first half the hosts took the lead with a nice cut Sesko who, at Openda’s invitation, stabs Di Gregorio.
In the second half the Bianconeri take the lead and they evened the score with Dusan Vlahovic, able to collect a low cross from Cambiaso’s left and anticipate Orban. Then, in the quarter of an hour, another double blow arrives which, however, does not defeat Thiago Motta’s men. First Di Gregorio was sent off for touching the ball with his hand outside the area and then, again VAR, awarded a penalty to Leipzig for Douglas Luiz’s arm. From eleven meters again Sesko displaces the newly entered Perin.
Once again, however, Juve shows an important character and with ten men turns the match around first with Vlahovic and then with Conceiçao. Very happy Thiago Motta who, interviewed by Prime Video commented: “Good match, already in the first half where we got some details wrong. In the second half even better playing with 10 men, good performance and good victory”.
