Two days before Juventus-Manchester City, the Lady was still thinking about the bad match against Bologna, of which it was difficult to save anything other than the last twenty minutes. There had been the half-time whistles, the two points thrown away, a comeback that was only half successful and that disease with the ‘X’ sign which increased the number of draws by another notch and that unbeaten streak in the championship which in any case – winless – no longer seemed like something to celebrate. Two days before Juventus-Manchester City the team looked each other in the eye and among the various authoritative voices in the locker room, that of Dusan Vlahovic also spoke up.
no one scores like him

“It’s not possible that every time we have to wait to get a slap to start playing. I told the boys that if we can do it in the last 20 minutes, like against Bologna, why can’t we do it from the 1st minute?”. Words and reflections from the striker, who against City found his way back to scoring goals from open play at the Stadium after 253 days (the last time was against Lazio in the Italian Cup, on 2 April). An eternity interrupted by goal line technology and by Ederson’s uncertainty which rewarded the Serbian’s break. For him it is the second consecutive goal in the Champions League after the decisive one in the draw in Lille (then with Aston Villa he was out due to injury) and Dusan had never scored in two European matches in a row. Signals. And what’s more, Vlahovic is the most prolific Serie A player of the calendar year: 22 goals for him in 2024 across all competitions.

“what did we say to each other in the locker room…”

“The whole team played an excellent game – the admission to Prime after the 2-0 against City -. We prepared it very well and in the end the result is sensational for us and can give us a huge boost for the rest of the season season. I had a bit of luck on the goal, it came in briefly but well. What are we missing two days ago in the dressing room and we told each other what we thought after the draw with Bologna.” Speeches to analyze and reset, taking only the best from that indigestion of draws and starting again from there. “For this match (City, ed.) we didn’t need to get excited because it prepares itself, but on other occasions like with Cagliari or Bologna at home we had difficulties and we had to win. I think we lack a bit of experience because we are very young but we are still Juve and the results must come immediately. We have to improve a lot but we hope to continue like this and that this match can be a new beginning.”
