Juventus have been struggling for some time now – not regarding results, but their recent display could have certainly been better. RB Leipzig in the Champions League and Lazio in Serie A lately failed to utilize the Old Lady’s weaknesses, but Stuttgart dodged that bullet, emerging triumphant at Allianz Stadium – 1-0.𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗹 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗱’𝗘𝗹 𝗕𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗲́ 🇲🇱 🆚 𝗝𝘂𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝘀 !pic.twitter.com/ZHO3DDPock— Mali Comps 🇲🇱🎥 (@MaliComps) October 22, 2024 Although the final score does not show it, the Bundesliga vice-champions completely destroyed Juve in Turin and only thanks to the custodian Mattia Perin, who had as many as nine saves, did the Bianconeri avoid a crushing defeat at home. Ultimately, the Germans’ hero was the Mali international El Bilal Toure, who served justice to Juventus in the 92nd minute.Stuttgart could have – and deserved altogether – to score at least three goals and perhaps even inflict one of the hardest defeats in Juve’s history, but (although it seems odd) Thiago Motta’s boys were very fortunate. The Germans finished the game with 22 shots (10 on target), while the Old Lady tested Stuttgart’s keeper Alexander Nubel only once.Zirkzee likes United but would like to be (re)united with Motta moreSebastian Hoeness’ men completely stunned Juve with their pressing, and even when the home team managed to occasionally attack, Stuttgart’s fastbreaks drove them crazy. The Bianconeri’s biggest trust, Dusan Vlahovic, was invisible, while the Swabians’ offensive duo of Deniz Undav and Ermedin Demirovic missed the impossible.In the 86th minute, Perrin even stopped Enzo Millot’s penalty but could not save his crew from Toure’s strike. After this defeat, Juventus sit in 11th spot with six points, whereas Stuttgart are 16th with four. In the next UCL round, the Bianconeri travel to Lille, while the Bundesliga side is up for another duel with the Italians – this time against Atalanta at home.As for the rest of the Serie A representatives, AC Milan beat Club Brugge 3-1 last night, the Goddess hosts Celtic tonight (19.45), and Inter Milan face the Swiss side Young Boys in Bern (22.00).UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE – ROUND 3TuesdayAC Milan – Club Brugge 3-1 (1-0)/Pulisic 34, Reijnders 61, 71 – Sabbe 51/Monaco – Crvena Zvezda 5-1 (2-1)/Minamino 21, 70, Embolo 45+4, Singo 54, Akliouche 90+6 – Ndiaye 27 pen/Arsenal – Shakhtar 1-0 (1-0)/Riznyk 29 og/Aston Villa – Bologna 2-0 (0-0)/McGinn 55, Duran 64/Girona – Slovan B. 2-0 (1-0)/Gutierrez 42, Juanpe 73/Juventus – Stuttgart 0-1 (0-0)/Toure 90+2/PSG – PSV 1-1 (0-1)/Hakimi 55 – Lang 34/Real Madrid – Dortmund 5-2 (0-2)/Rudiger 60, Vinicius Jr. 63, 86, 90+3, Vazquez 83 – Malen 30, Gittens 34/Sturm – Sporting 0-2 (0-1)/Santos 23, Gyokeres 53/Wednesday19:45: (1.45) Atalanta (4.50) Celtic (7.00)19:45: (6.25) Brest (4.70) Leverkusen (1.48)22:00: (1.53) Atl.Madrid (4.00) Lille (6.75)22:00: (2.40) Barcelona (3.60) Bayern (2.80)22:00: (1.62) Benfica (3.90) Feyenoord (5.60)22:00: (1.07) Man.City (13.0) Sparta Praha (25.0)22:00: (4.00) RB Leipzig (3.60) Liverpool (1.90)22:00: (1.75) Salzburg (3.60) Dinamo Zagreb (4.90)22:00: (8.00) Young Boys (4.70) Inter Milan (1.40)***odds are subject to change***
