Overview
- The match at Balaídos on Thursday finished Celta 1, Juventus 2 after Kolo Muani headed home a 92nd‑minute cross to turn the game in Juventus’s favour.
- Celta took the lead in the 17th minute when Hugo Álvarez finished a team move that began with Carreira and involved Jutglà, Javi Rueda and Williot Swedberg.
- Juventus levelled in the 59th minute when Woltemade converted a loose ball created by a poor chest control from Marcos Alonso.
- Coach Spalletti’s switch to bring on Muani to play with two strikers directly produced the winner while Celta’s coach Claudio made only minimal changes from his previous league XI.
- The loss leaves Celta pointless after two group games, raises pressure on the players and coach to stop late defensive lapses, and makes earning points in the next Europa League fixtures urgent.
