CAPTAIN'S GUIDE

Wojciech Szczesny, Daniele Rugani, Alex Sandro. These are the three players that unite yesterday's Juve with today's - all in the starting XI that evening and still at the club in 22/23. Giorgio Chiellini wore the captain's armband and his experience was needed with the Bianconeri returning from a defeat in Genoa, and focus was important in order to start again with three points.

THE MATCH WINNER

The match was decided with a move from the bench. Allegri increased the offensive potential by throwing Moise Kean on in place of Blaise Matuidi. It took Moise just three minutes to score the game-winning goal, taking advantage of a knock down from Mandzukic, which gave Kean the space to volley the ball into the back of the net.
