Juventus vs VfB Stuttgart

Stuttgart have won a UEFA Champions League match for the first time since beating Unirea Urziceni 3-1 in December 2009. It’s also their first victory against Italian opposition in major European competition since a 1-0 win vs Torino in the UEFA Cup in September 1979.

El Bilal Touré’s goal was just the third 90th minute winning goal that Juventus have conceded in the UEFA Champions League, and just the first that has come at home in the competition.

Juventus had just one shot on target in this match - their fewest in a UEFA Champions League game since against Chelsea in September 2021 (also one).

This is the first ever meeting between Juventus and Stuttgart in any competition.

Stuttgart have won just one of their 11 major European games against Italian opposition (D4 L6), winning 1-0 against Torino in the UEFA Cup in September 1979.

Juventus have won each of their last five major European games against German sides (all since 2019-20), which is already their best winning run against such opposition. Indeed, their last game in the UEFA Champions League was a 3-2 victory away to RB Leipzig. 

After winning their opening two games, Juventus will be looking to win their first three games of a UEFA Champions League campaign for the first time since 2021-22. Meanwhile, only once previously have they won their opening three and scored 3+ goals in each match (1995-96).

Stuttgart have only won three of their last 19 games in the UEFA Champions League (D6 L10), having won four in a row immediately prior to this run in October-November 2003.
