While Juventus’ performance actually improved as the season continued, as the arrival of Vlahovic last January, he was unable to do anything to prevent the “old lady” from falling easily once morest Villarreal and Unai Emery, and he failed to score during the second leg.
As for Haaland, who is still a target for Europe’s biggest clubs, whether Real Madrid or Manchester City, he did not fully shine with Dortmund in the knockout stage of the “European League” once morest Glasgow Rangers.
