Player Ratings for Juventus in Their Impressive Win Over PSV

Juventus kicked off their 2024/25 Champions League campaign with a relatively impressive victory over PSV Eindhoven.

Thiago Motta’s side entered their first Champions League match with the goal of securing all three points against a highly-rated opponent from the Netherlands, PSV Eindhoven. In the end, they achieved this quite comfortably.

In the 21st minute, young talent Kenan Yildiz put the home team ahead with a stunning solo effort, curling the ball into the top corner. Riding that momentum, another young star, Weston McKennie, doubled the lead just six minutes later, before Nico Gonzalez added a third in the 52nd minute. PSV managed a consolation goal late in the game, courtesy of Ismael Saibari.
