Juventus played out one of the most thrilling matches of the Champions League opening round. The Italian side drew 4-4 with Borussia Dortmund in Turin after a second-half full of drama.
The first half ended goalless, with both teams missing chances. After the break, Dortmund struck first to take control. Juventus equalised but quickly fell behind again. The match turned into a high-scoring battle, with goals coming one after another.
At 4-2 down, Juventus looked close to defeat. However, the players refused to give up. Substitute Dušan Vlahović scored in the closing stages, keeping his side alive. Then, in stoppage time, Lloyd Kelly netted the final goal. A VAR review confirmed it, sealing an incredible 4-4 draw.
Vlahović was the standout performer. His two late goals proved decisive in saving Juventus from a home defeat. Fans praised the striker for his determination and impact after coming off the bench.
Despite the excitement, concerns remain. Juventus conceded four times, showing defensive weaknesses. The coach admitted the team must improve at the back. Still, he praised the players’ fighting spirit and never-say-die attitude.
The draw follows another dramatic game in Serie A, where Juventus beat Inter Milan 4-3 in stoppage time. That result pushed them up the league standings and added momentum. Off the field, the club also extended its sponsorship deal with Adidas until 2037, strengthening its commercial future.
Looking ahead, Juventus will focus on tightening their defense while maintaining attacking flair. Supporters remain hopeful that the team’s resilience will carry them through both domestic and European challenges. The thrilling draw against Dortmund has set the tone for what could be an exciting season.
