Thiago Motta praised Juventus' bench depth following Samuel Mbangula's late winner against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League, overcoming a draw. Mbangula, at just 21 years, became the youngest player to score for Juventus in a knockout phase. This win marked a historic achievement: Juventus became the first Italian side to win two home matches against the same team in the same Champions League season. Motta highlighted the young team's need for speed and praised McKennie for his contributions, emphasizing the importance of substitutes in enhancing their performance.
Once again today, the players who came off the bench raised the level of the team.
I am very happy with Mbangula. He presses, he dribbles, he scores goals. He always has a fantastic attitude, he always gives everything.
