Just days before the start of the new Serie A season, Tudor’s boys beat Next Gen 2-0. Douglas Luiz and Vlahovic scored, but the match held more than a few surprises.

🎯 Douglas Luiz scores: a message to Tudor?

The real surprise was Douglas Luiz, who played behind Vlahovic: in the 15th minute, the Brazilian found the net with a header, taking advantage of a cross from the left after his own shot was blocked.

A goal that also sends a clear signal about his future: there is real interest from the Premier League in the midfielder, but in the meantime, a goal and a message for the future? 

😱 Boos rain down on Vlahovic

Just a few minutes later, Vlahovic also had the chance to celebrate in front of the home fans for the last time (?). However, the Serbian can’t put a very tough period behind him, and the crowd doesn’t forgive him.

Dusan, targeted by the Bianconeri fans because of a massive salary that makes his transfer impossible and blocks Juve’s transfer market, shoots way over the bar and the crowd doesn’t forgive: the rain of boos is inevitable.

👋 A goal that feels like goodbye

However, the 2000-born striker didn’t lack character, and in the 33rd minute he finally scored the goal that silenced the boos.

The Serbian was sent through on goal by Douglas Luiz and this time, one-on-one with Mangiapoco, he didn’t miss. 

🔚 Pitch invasion stops the match at 51'

Juve returned to the locker room with a 2-0 lead that would prove final: just six minutes into the second half, in fact, the usual pitch invasion by the Bianconeri fans forced the final whistle.

The whole Stadium poured onto the pitch to embrace their idols: Juventus beat the second team, and it’s a big party in Turin.
