Player Ratings: Juventus 3-1 PSV Eindhoven – Nico Gonzalez and Yildiz steal the show | OneFootball

Juventus beat PSV Eindhoven 3-1 in their 2024-25 Champions League debut in Turin. Football Italia was among the accredited media. Here are the player ratings from the Allianz Stadium.

Di Gregorio 6 – Started the game with a poor pass but was entirely in control for the remaining 89 minutes.

Kalulu 6.5 – A strong start with a nice through ball down the right flank. Great cross-field pass a few minutes later. Solid defensively.

Gatti 6.5 – A little bit rough, but surely efficient.

Bremer 6.5 – Aggressive from the very beginning and composed on the ball. (57′ Danilo 6)

Cambiaso 6.5 – A pure inverted fullback. His movements towards the middle of the park helped Juventus build-up, especially in the opening stages.

Locatelli 6.5 – Tidy with the ball at his feet and focused defensively. He played simple football, which isn’t necessarily easy. (57′ Thuram 6)

McKennie 7 – He completed the Juventus midfield starting for the first time this season and scored after just 27 minutes. Helped the team defensively in the second half. (75′ Douglas Luiz 6)

Nico Gonzalez 8.5 – The Argentinean inspired McKennie’s goal and found the net for the first time in a Bianconeri shirt in the second half. Try to catch him if you can. (69′ Weah 6)

Koopmeiners 6.5 – Swapped positions with Yildiz at times. Started as an attacking midfielder. Sometimes, he moved on the left wing, and other times, he dropped into the middle of the park to start the attack.

Yildiz 8.5 – The Turkish talent became the youngest Juventus goal scorer in the Champions League, beating his idol Alessandro Del Piero and scoring a goal that will make the ex-No.10 proud. Received a deserved standing ovation when he was subbed off. (69′ Fagioli 6)

Vlahovic 6.5 – He wanted to score at all costs, but despite that, he had great vision when he provided the assist for Nico Gonzalez. Vlahovic fought on every ball. Goals will come.

Coach: Motta 7 – An excellent performance. Juventus were always in control, as their coach wanted, even if they conceded their first goal this season in the final second.
