Juventus earned a memorable 3-2 win against RB Leipzig in the Champions League this evening, and most of their players had a good day at the office.
Michele di Gregorio – 5.0
He had a good game until he was sent off for that handling outside the area.
Nicolo Savona – 6.5
The youngster continues to impress and did the job he was asked to do.
Gleison Bremer – N/A
Subbed off very early on. Hopefully, he has not suffered a serious injury.
Pierre Kalulu – 7.5
Another solid day at the office as a centre-back. Surely, his move will be made permanent soon.
Andrea Cambiaso – 7.5
Defended well even in the closing stages of the game and provided a fine assist for a Vlahovic goal.
Weston McKennie – 7.0
Tidy and inventive in possession. He pressed well and was strong in the tackle when he had to make some.
Nicolo Fagioli – 8.0
What a superb game he had as he penetrated Leipzig’s defence time and time again. Unlucky not to have scored.
Nicolas Gonzalez – N/A
He was subbed off before he could make a real impact.
Teun Koopmeiners – 6.5
Fagioli overshadowed him in midfield, and he will wish he played better.
Kenan Yildiz – 7.0
He was having a great game before he had to be subbed off because of the red card.
Dusan Vlahovic – 8.0
Another superb performance from the striker. His second goal could win him the best goal of the round. What a player!
Substitutes
Federico Gatti – 7.0
He came on for the injured Bremer and delivered a fine performance, but not spectacular.
Francisco Conceicao – 8.0
He came on for the injured Gonzalez and changed the game with his running before his superb solo goal to earn Juve the points.
Mattia Perin – 7.0
Came on to replace Di Gregorio and rose to the occasion with some important saves.
Douglas Luiz – 6.0
He is still struggling to find his feet and gave away possession in dangerous areas too many times as Juve held on for the win.

What a game!! Football won.
An important win despite the hurdles, congratulations Juventus.
I won’t give Gregorio that low as he had no choice.
Agreed. He barely nicked the ball with his hand. It wasn’t a glaring error. He was just unfortunate, but openda would have scored no doubt. Luiz looks troublesome, not nearly the player he was at villa. Hopefully he can find form. I thought the red he got was very harsh – yes it hit his hand, but if it doesn’t the trajectory of the ball goes right into his face. The interpretation of the law is the player making their silhouette bigger – I didn’t see that occurring, but in the literal sense of the law. Yea it struck his arm. Really rough call and bad luck.
I meant penalty not red for Luis. Doh!
Juve show a real fino alla fino character…to search for another goal even when they draw with the 10 players. Allegri would close the game even before…at the red card occasion.
Forza Motta, Forza Juve.
