Juventus and Villarreal drew 1-1 in the Champions League debut of Dusan Vlahovic.

Dusan Vlahovic just needed 31 seconds to show Europe why he was chosen by Juventus to replace Cristiano Ronaldo’s vacuum. Juventus and Villarreal drew 1-1 in the Champions League debut of Dusan Vlahovic; the Serbia striker had a fantastic Champions League start; scoring a beautiful goal after his first contact with the ball.

His goal had the qualities of a strike that only a player of Ronaldo’s caliber can produce; combining power, a sense of the moment, and that additional dosage of confidence that ensures no scoring opportunity; no matter how tiny, is wasted.

The 22-year-old striker did not hesitate to take on center-back combination Pau Torres and Ral; Albiol after controlling a long pass from Danilo with his chest. While spinning toward the goal, he utilized one touch; to prepare his shot, which he took with his weaker right foot. The low effort touched a defender’s foot before squirting past goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli at an angle.

It was his moment objective for Juventus since marking a 70 million euro ($80 million); bargain from Fiorentina close the near of the January exchange; window to supplant Cristiano Ronaldo, who had cleared out the club five months previously. It implied a part to me to score on my make a big appearance. Vlahovic portrayed the encounter as “exceptionally emotional. However, I can’t say I’m totally fulfilled since we didn’t win the diversion. With the away-goal run the show canceled this season; Villarreal’s Dani Parejo equalized within the 66th miniature, setting up a last in Italy.

Villarreal tied to answer to Vlahovic’s opener with speed on the flanks. In the 13th minute, Alfonso Pedraza intercepted the ball and raced down the left side of the box before; laying off for Giovani Lo Celso, who scuffed his attempt to find the top of the left post.

In the first half, Vlahovic also impressed with his ability to catch more long balls for his teammates. However, Parejo’s 66th-minute equalizer came after Albiol made it his mission to close that gap. Following Albiol’s challenge to recover the ball from Juventus’ new striker; the Italians violated their defensive reputation by allowing Etienne Capoue; time to pick out a run forward by fellow midfielder Parejo.

Parejo was left free of a marker by Juventus’ backline, and he blasted low to tie the game at 1-1.

“It undermines your game plan when they score in the opening minute. However, we knew how to hold on and push for the win,” Parejo remarked.

With five minutes remaining, Vlahovic almost scored the game-winning goal with a thunderous shot that Rulli saved superbly.

Weston McKennie, a midfielder from the United States, had to be substituted for Juventus in the 80th minute when substitute Pervis Estupián delivered a strong tackle to his lower left leg.
