Dusan Vlahovic lived up to the hype by scoring 32 seconds into his Champions League debut on Tuesday however, Juventus have work to do to make the last 16 in the wake of being held to a 1-1 draw by Villarreal in the first leg. Vlahovic found the corner with only his touch of the match at La Ceramica, yet a great beginning for Juve and the Serb’s Champions League career was not enough for win. All things considered, Villarreal’s Dani Parejo steered in a deserved equaliser halfway through the second half to leave a compelling contest in the balance ahead the return leg in Turin.
