The Bianconeri’s three Champions League rivals – Shakhtar, Chelsea and Nordsjaelland – enjoyed mixed fortunes in their respective domestic fixtures this weekend.
Juve’s next Champions League opponents Shakhtar bounced back from last weekend’s defeat to Arsenal Kiev with a commanding five-goal display against Hoverla. Strikes from Ilsinho, Willian, Mkhitaryan, Douglas and Devic put Mircea Lucescu’s outfit back on track
Recently appointed Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez began his tenure at Stamford Bridge with a goalless shutout at home to Manchester City. The result sees Manchester United return to the top of the league following yesterday’s 3-1 home success over Queens Park Rangers.
Elsewhere, Nordsjaelland slipped to a shock defeat against relegation threatened Esbjerg. The loss, coupled with FC Copenhagen’s triumph, means the defending champions are now nine points adrift of top spot.
