A match in the second round of the Champions League is contested, and Juventus are away to Leipzig. Juventus are unbeaten in six league games this season with three wins and three draws, and are in second place. It's amazing how Juventus have conceded 0 goals in 6 games, and 3 of them have ended in 0-0 draws, which is a bit incredible. In the Champions League, Juventus beat PSV Eindhoven in the first round. Now back in the Champions League, Juventus face Leipzig, the third-placed team in the Bundesliga. As a result, Juventus completed the extreme reversal and scored all 3 points!
Juventus lined up 4231 in this game. Vlahovic was at the front. The attacking duo of Ildiz, Koopmeiners and Gonzalez combined to strike. Faggioli and McKennie form a double midfield. Cambiasso, Bremer, Kalulu and Savona started the game at the back four. Di Gregorio served as the starting goalkeeper. Leipzig, for their part, fielded a forward combination of Sheshko and Opponda.
Bremer went off injured shortly after the start of the game, with Gatti coming off the bench. Subsequently, Gonzalez was also injured and Conceição came on as a substitute. After only 12 minutes of play, Juventus had to make 2 passive substitutions, which was unlucky! Juventus conceded in the 30th minute. Sheshko burst into the box and scored with a one-handed volley! Towards half-time, Faggioli, McKennie and Conceição had all shots on goal. At half-time, Juventus were 1-0 down.
In the second half, it was easy to play again. In the 49th minute, Koopmeiners had an absolute open chance in the box and he pushed a shot into the far corner, only to have the ball hit the post and bounce off, which was a pity. However, Juventus scored immediately afterward. Vlahovic equalised with a flanking push in front of goal. Three minutes later, Opponda's shot was denied by the post. In the 59th minute, Di Gregorio handball outside the penalty area, and the referee sent him off with a direct red card! Juventus had to fight with one less man!
Then Douglas Luiz sent a handball in the box, and Seshko hit the penalty to help Leipzig take the lead again! At this time, Juventus played with one less man, the score was still behind, and they had already used up four substitutions. This situation is very disadvantageous for Juventus. But Juventus didn't give up. Vlahovic equalized with a long-range shot from outside the penalty area, and in the 83rd minute, Conceição pushed the goal to complete the stunner! Juventus reversed! It's incredible! The final score was 3-2, and Juventus completed the comeback in extremely bad circumstances!
The 42-year-old Motta is a god, he led Juventus to a miracle, and 10 Juventus set a Champions League god record: Juventus are only the second team in the history of the Champions League to complete the comeback with less away games and more away. It is really rare to be able to reverse in such a situation. It was a great victory, a classic moment for Motta!
