This certainly reflects positively on Igor Tudor’s Juventus, sending a strong message. The Bianconeri secured a deserved 2-1 win.

Borussia Dortmund did score a late goal, however. In the 89th minute, Maximilian Beier netted with a right-footed shot from a tough angle on the right, finding the top right corner, assisted by a cross from Julian Brandt.

For two-thirds of the match, Juve outperformed their opponents, showing solid defense and inspired attacking play. Tudor’s decision to rotate 10 players at once was a good strategy. It served as a solid test ahead of the 2025-26 Serie A season!
