Dusan Vlahović was the hero of the biggest winter window transfer, swapping Fiorentina for Juventus for over € 80 million. The Serb made a great debut in the new team, scoring a goal against Hellas Verona (2: 0), but in three consecutive matches he did not manage to increase his achievements. As expected, Vlahović rushed out of Juventus’ main squad to meet Villarreal.

Dusan Vlahovic’s great entry into the Champions League. No rookie fired that fast

Juventus from the very beginning of the game tried to threaten Villarreal’s goal as quickly as possible. Danilo quickly intercepted the ball in the center of the pitch and spotted Dusan Vlahovic in the opponents’ penalty area. The Serb took the long ball from the Brazilian without any problems, and despite the presence of Raul Albiol, he hit the goal guarded by Geronimo Rulli. The Argentine was unable to save the shot and Juventus took the lead.

Dusan Vlahović thus became the second youngest Juventus player to score in his Champions League debut. On the day of the match against Villarreal, the Serb is 22 years and 25 days old. Only Alessandro Del Piero was younger, with 20 years and 308 days in the match against Borussia Dortmund (3-1) in the 1995/1996 season. In addition, Vlahović scored the fastest rookie goal in Juventus history, but is also the first Old Lady player to make his debut in the modern era of the Champions League.

In the second half, Villarreal equalized in the 66th minute after a goal by Dani Parejo. Massimiliano Allegri’s team could have ended the game weakened after a brutal attack from Adrien Rabiot, but the French were not given a red card. The question of promotion will therefore be clarified in the rematch that will be played in Turin on March 16.
