The two records Thiago Motta has already secured at Juventus | OneFootball

While Thiago Motta’s Juventus have made defensive solidity their distinctive feature during this opening stretch to the season, becoming the first team not to concede in their first six Serie A game, their 3-2 Champions League win over Lepizig marked another record, as they proved their ability to also react to adverse conditions.

The Bianconeri fell behind twice at the Red Bull Arena but fought back every time, despite the blow inflicted by Michele Di Gregorio’s dismissal and a penalty call from the VAR a few minutes later.

In the end, all their stubbornness showed up as Dusan Vlahovic and Francisco Conceição scored two beautiful goals to seal the turnaround and give Juventus a win in unprecedented fashion for their Champions League history.

Motta adds Champions League record to Juventus’ defensive invulnerability in Serie A

Opta reported that Juventus’ 3-2 victory over Leipzig marked the first time they were able to win a UEFA Champions League match after going behind twice during the game.

Benjamin Sesko scored twice for the hosts, but every time the Bianconeri responded by equalising through Vlahovic, before Conceição’s eventual winner.
