Juventus Defeats Manchester City 2-0 in Champions League

Juventus secured a crucial 2-0 victory over Manchester City in the Champions League, significantly damaging City's hopes of qualification. Dusan Vlahovic opened the scoring in the 53rd minute with a header assisted by Kenan Yildiz, and Weston McKennie doubled the lead with a stunning volley from a Timothy Weah cross in the 75th minute. This defeat marked City's seventh loss in their last ten matches across all competitions, leaving them in 22nd place in the league phase of the tournament. City's performance has greatly declined since October, and they now face a tough road to secure a place in the knockout stages, needing strong results in their remaining games. The match also highlighted the impact of American players, with McKennie contributing his second Champions League goal of the season. Pep Guardiola's side, once dominant in Europe, now struggles with confidence and consistency.
