41% Ball Possession JUVENTUS and 59% Ball Possession BARCELONA
Juventus 0 – 2 Barcelona
.                                                              14′ Ousmane Dembélé
.                                                               91′ Lionel Messi (pen)

The battle of the Argentineans Number 10 between Paulo Dybala and Lionel Messi is won by Messi.  Juventus failing to win the UEFA Champions League Group Stage, Matchday 2 defeated by Barcelona on Wednesday 28 October 2020 at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, Italy.    This is just a disappointing result because Juventus forward Alvaro Morata scored 3 goals and all 3 were ruled out for offside.  On top of that, a late penalty converted by Lionel Messi.   Juventus could not recover forward Cristiano Ronaldo testing positive again with COVID-19.   I must say that I expected a better match and saw Dybala overshadowed by Messi.

Oh my gosh…. not a good start!  Barcelona opening the score in the 14th minute, it is Ousmane Dembélé to defeat Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny with a right footed shot in the top left corner following the assist by forward Lionel Messi.  Time to wake up for Juventus!!!!

Juventus 0 – 1 Barcelona, 14th minute, goal by Ousmane Dembélé with a right footed shot in the top left corner. The assist is by Lionel Messi.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Come on JUVENTUS!!! Wake up @juventusfcen https://t.co/tI6hbVxQbk https://t.co/QjnNKFbJU8 pic.twitter.com/KEgjQNojsp

Lady Luck where are you!!!!!!!  What a luck, guys!  Juventus with two chances to score with Álvaro Morata and the goal is ruled out for offside in the 30th minute…. just fainting!  The first attempt was in the 15th minute and the VAR ends up ruling a handball.

30' | ❌ | Incredibly @AlvaroMorata has the ball in the net again but this time it's ruled out for an offside. Keep at it lads! 💪#JuveBarça [0-1] #JuveUCL
