After two initial wins, Real Madrid now went into a mini-series of defeats. After losing 3-0 from arch-rivals Barcelona, they were downed by Juventus 3-1 last night in the USA. The game was really a fast-paced one, and almost from the beginning to the end, it seemed as if it was a game for points, and the players of the Spanish club were particularly active and aggressive, but they were the ones who left the field defeated. An excellent start to the match and quick goals by Moise Kean and Timothy Weah paid off for the Italian representative. Kean scored the first goal after only 50 seconds, and Weah in the 20th minute. With the goal of Vinicius in the 38th minute, after a masterful pass by Toni Kroos, uncertainty was restored, but Dušan Vlahović secured the win in the fifth minute of stoppage time.Weston McKennie off the post and Moise Kean puts it away!Juventus lead 1-0 against Real Madrid just 60 seconds into the match.(via @futpicante) pic.twitter.com/Io6AMQCTvL— USMNT Only (@usmntonly) August 2, 2023 Twenty minutes into the game was enough for the Serbian national team player to become one of the top scorers. This was his first appearance for Juventus during the preparations after he took a break due to recovery from injury, but it may be the last match in the black and white jersey because there are more and more talks about an exchange with Chelsea in which Vlahovic would go to London, and Romelu Lukaku (and additional money) to Turin. It is this amount of money that is currently the subject of debate, since the Italian club is asking for 40,000,000 euros, and the English club would like to lower the amount, but according to the information of journalists from the Apennines, all parties are willing to make the deal happen, and the deal could be realized in the next few days.Lukaku solution on the horizon: Chelsea are thinking of VlahovicMassimiliano Allegri can be satisfied with his team’s performance, both for the win and the performance in the first half. The decline in the second part can be attributed to the change of the complete team. The Juventus coach used all 11 changes, five of them at the start of the second half, while Carlo Ancelotti made two fewer changes in total, and he started after the 60th minute. As many as seven new players were in the starting line-up of Real Madrid, comparing the game with Barcelona from a few days ago. Mendy dropped due to injury, while Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Valverde, Tchouameni and Rodrygo moved to the bench. Lucas Vasquez, Rudiger, Nacho, Fran Garcia, Kroos, Modrić and Joselu played in their place from the beginning.WESTON MCKENNIE ASSISTS TIM WEAH AND JUVENTUS LEAD 2-0 AGAINST REAL MADRID.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸(via @futpicante) pic.twitter.com/Oou4Frq0cc— USMNT Only (@usmntonly) August 3, 2023 Juventus 2-1 Real MadridVinicius Jr #JuveRealMadridpic.twitter.com/nmC6eWkIwp— 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 𝐃𝐀𝐘! (@TodayMatchHD) August 3, 2023 Despite the good play, Madrid failed to find a way to the net of the Juventus goal more than once, which confirms that they urgently need an adequate replacement for Karim Benzema. Read Kylian Mbappe. Ancelotti, certainly, can be satisfied with the good game of the newcomer Jude Bellingham. The Englishman was very active in his team’s game (and the only one, along with Courtois, who played the whole match), although it is evident that he will need some time to get used to the role of “ten” and new teammates around him.##NAJAVA_MECA_7406137##
