Morata scored the decisive goal in the 81st minute – benefiting from Aleks Kolarov inadvertently deflecting the ball into his path before unleashing an unstoppable shot from just outside the area.
I don’t think we must trust in Juventus [to make things easy for City] because it is a different competition.
“It’s a pretty delicate moment for us”. If we just base ourselves on what happens in Italy, I don’t think that’s very helpful for Juventus. We’ve been looking forward to the start of this competition since the disappointing game in Barcelona previous year. “Tomorrow is a game everyone is going to be up for”, Kompany stressed.
City continued their slow, ponderous approach in attack when trying to grab a late equaliser, and will have to seriously reconsider their tactics before they play Borussia Monchengladbach in a fortnight’s time. We controlled the game and didn’t have many problems but football is like that.
The back four remains the same as we’ve seen throughout the season and Pellegrini has opted for a 4-2-3-1, much to the delight of most out there. The Argentine’s goal spared Juve the humiliation of a third straight defeat, after consecutive losses to Udinese and Roma, but it was not enough to prevent Allegri hauling his players in for a rainy training session on Sunday morning.
Allegri admitted on the eve of the game that his side had been scarred by their dismal domestic form and he will have been alarmed to see their defences breached inside two minutes.
Pogba will line-up against one of his potential suitors in Manchester City on Tuesday night, and after the Bianconeri’s slow start to their league campaign, will be expected to inspire them in the high-octane encounter.
Kompany was instrumental as City took the lead, pressuring Giorgio Chiellini into turning the ball into his own net.
Suddenly Juve were all at sea, Buffon producing a superb double-save to thwart first Sterling and then Silva, before beating away an effort from Wilfried Bony.
Manchester City on the other hand come into this game red hot having won five games from five in the Premier League so far this season.
