Juventus’ most recent match in the Champions League was on November 27 away against Aston Villa.
It was a quiet 0-0 draw, with only five shots on target and not much goalmouth action, as our live blog from the evening indicates.
It felt like injury-hit Juventus were mostly happy to be defensively solid first and foremost, and would be largely happy with a draw, while an out-of-form Villa huffed and puffed but couldn’t get the ball in the visitors’ net.
That is, at least, until right at the end, when Morgan Rogers profited from a loose ball after a set-piece to turn it home. Alas. The referee blew for a perceived foul from Diego Carlos on goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio and it was ruled out. 0-0 was how it finished.
