Juventus was tied in Spain.
Dusan Vlahovic got a real dream debut in the Champions League. AOP
All eyes were In Dusan Vlahovicwhen the Serb ran into the grass of El Madrigal.
In January, with a transfer of € 70 million from Fiorentina to Juventus, the super striker made his own Champions League debut in the quarterfinals against Villarreal.
And what kind of debut did the striker get.
Only 30 seconds was behind the match when Danilo robbed the ball in midfield Alberto Morenolta. Brassi immediately saw Vlahovic accelerate to full speed and sent a long arched ball into the man’s running line.
Serbi took the feed down alongside him, and with virtually the same movement he shot the ball to two national team toppers, Pau Torresin and Raúl Albiolinbetween the Villarreal mill Gerónimo Rullin guarded goal in the back corner.
This is not the fastest goal in Champions League history because Roy Makaay completed Bayern Munich’s 1-0 lead from Real Madrid in just 10.2 seconds in the spring 2007 quarterfinals.
Juve on the break
On the eve of the match, the Juve pilot Massimiliano Allegri outlined that even a draw from Spain would be an excellent result.
Indeed, the old lady crept into the tight defensive wall immediately after the opening goal, and favorably handed over control of the game to the hosts.
Villarreal, on the other hand, missed his own super striker Gerard Morenoawho was sidelined on the side. Nevertheless, the Yellow submarine flooded its attacks Wojciech Szczesnyn for a guarded goal.
Spurs loan Giovani Lo Celso threw the ball into the pole when it would have been easier to put it in the net.
Juventus tried to exploit their counterattacking skills, unfortunately, Vlahovic’s shot sailed wide after his break down the right. Álvaro Morata are not, in principle, suitable for the game.
Bonucci on the pitch
For the second period, Allegri moved on to an even more defensive tactic as Juventus moved into the line of three toppers. Skipper Leonardo Bonucci took his place in the middle of it.
– Of course, an early setback is a pity, but I think the team has put themselves together. We had good places in the opening period and we just have to patiently continue like this, Moreno commented during the break of the match.
The La Roja striker also said he believes he will be involved in the March 16 return.
– We believe we can beat Juventus. These Champions League matches are extremely tight.
Moreno was right. Even the tactics of the three toppers didn’t stop Dani Parejoa slip into a completely free goal. Étienne Capoue found a Madrid player and this moved the game to levels halfway through.
Uefa had eliminated the away goal from the Eurocups this season, so a 1-1 draw seemed like a safe result for both teams. In the end, Vlahovic’s new flash was seen, but this time Rulli got a strong hand on the ball.
Allegr’s tactical stinginess was downright a sacrilege to the Juventus tradition. Bianconeri performed in Spain mainly only to defend his own goal.
Chelsea won
Meanwhile in London, Chelsea grabbed a 2-0 win over Lille. German star Kai Havertzilla had two great scores before he pushed for a corner kick from the corner of the net.
In the second period N’Golo Kanté started with a great solo run to the finish line Christian Pulisicilleand the Yankee star enjoyed finishing the final numbers.
Blue manager Thomas Tuchel however, was not happy with the home win because of both Hakim Ziyech that Mateo Kovacic left the grass of Stamford Bridge injured.
