Then, at the start of the second half, the traditional peaceful pitch invasion by the fans forced the match to be ended early.

🤩 Conceicao scores, Yildiz dazzles

Spalletti fielded a Juventus side very close to the one that could make its league debut: Conceicao, Douglas Luiz and Yildiz behind Kolo Muani, with Locatelli and McKennie in midfield.

The Frenchman came close to giving Juventus the lead straight away, denied twice by Radu. But in the 18th minute, it became 1-0: Douglas Luiz played a vertical pass to Conceicao, who drove into the box and beat the Next Gen goalkeeper with his left foot.

The best move came in the 29th minute. Yildiz surged in from the left, beat two opponents and set up McKennie, who made it 2-0. Another important sign from Juventus’ number 10 just days before the start of Serie A.

There were a few risks at the back too: Amaradio tested Pinsoglio from a free kick, while a mistake by Douglas Luiz allowed Next Gen to come close to scoring.

Pitch invasion at the Stadium: match ended after 45 minutes

The second half barely got underway. As the teams returned, fans peacefully invaded the pitch looking for selfies and autographs, recreating one of the classic scenes of the traditional family clash.

Juventus therefore decided to call the match at 2-0.

A tradition born in Villar Perosa and moved in recent years to the Allianz Stadium, where once again the result quickly took a back seat to the celebration of the Juventus faithful.

Elkann on the bench with Spalletti

Among the images of the day was John Elkann sitting on the bench next to Luciano Spalletti.

Elkann said he wanted to experience the match from the coach’s perspective and reaffirmed his strong relationship with the manager.

He also had important words about Giovanni Carnevali and the club’s future: Juventus are in a rebuilding phase, but the objective remains the same as ever—to get back to winning.

Now Frosinone

So Juventus’ pre-season ends with positive signs: Conceicao decisive once again, Yildiz increasingly central, and McKennie once more valuable in his all-action role.

On Sunday, 23 August at 18:30, Juventus will begin their Serie A campaign away to newly promoted Frosinone.
