Juventus delivered a jaw-dropping 2-0 victory over Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, throwing the English champions’ knockout stage hopes into chaos! 🌍⚽
Dusan Vlahovic and Weston McKennie became instant heroes with second-half goals, while City’s star-studded lineup crumbled under pressure. 🛡️➡️🎯 Vlahovic’s 53rd-minute header crossed the line by millimeters (thank you, goal-line tech!), and McKennie sealed the deal with a rocket volley that broke the internet. 💥
City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan didn’t hold back: “Confidence is a big part… At crucial moments, we’re doing the wrong things.” Ouch. 😬
Pep Guardiola’s squad now sits 22nd in the group standings – yes, you read that right – after conceding a shocking 21 goals since November. 📉 Erling Haaland’s missed chip and KDB’s near-magic couldn’t save the day.
Up next? A high-stakes Manchester Derby on Dec. 16. Can City bounce back? 🤔 Meanwhile, Juventus fans are already meme-ing their way to the knockout rounds. 🎉
