Real Madrid – Juventus: Individual Brilliance Unlocked The Old Lady’s Sternest Block (1-0)

In a traditional UCL affair, Real Madrid bested Juventus at Santiago Bernabéu. Vulnerability in counterattacks and a lack of efficiency in front of the goal highlighted Los Blancos' pains. However, Jude Bellingham rose to the occasion, gobbling up the rebound after Vinicius Junior's individual brilliance.

Since the start of the 2025/26 season, Juventus has gone undefeated in eight games, in which they clung to three consecutive wins followed by three draws in Serie A. In the UEFA Champions League, the Old Lady still waits for the first victory as Igor Tudor's team shared points with Dortmund in a dramatic affair and returned with a single point from Spain against the Submarines. The results were acceptable until Juventus traveled to Como and came back wounded by the first loss of the season. Additionally, it's worth mentioning that the Old Lady's performances raised questions about Igor Tudor's ability to take Juventus where they used to be in the glory days.

After the ripple in calm waters at Metropolitano and relinquishing La Liga's lead to Barcelona, Xabi Alonso's team tasted again the flavor of victories. Not only that, but Sevilla's 4-1 trashing against Barcelona . . .
