A STRONG RECORD | Juventus are unbeaten in their four previous meetings with Sporting CP in European competitions (W2, D2). The most recent encounter saw Juventus knock the Portuguese side out of the quarter-finals of the 2022/23 UEFA Europa League.
TOUGH TRIPS | This will be the 20th time Sporting CP have faced an Italian team away in European competitions, and they are still looking for their first win (5D, 14L).
FIGHTING BACK | Five of Juventus' six goals in the UEFA Champions League this season have come when they have been behind, the highest number of goals scored by any team from behind.
IMPACT FROM THE BENCH | Four of Sporting CP's seven UEFA Champions League goals this season have been scored by substitutes, the highest number of any team. In fact, of the nine goals they have scored in the 2025 calendar year in this competition, only two did not involve a substitute, either as a scorer (5), an assist provider (4), or both.
