After failing to find the back of the net in his recent outings, Dusan Vlahovic finally managed to end his drought, albeit from a fortunate spot kick that crept just under the goalkeeper.
The Serbian thought he had broken the deadlock earlier against Freiburg, but his initial goal was disallowed due to offside following an intervention from VAR.
Nevertheless, the striker made amends with the net when he converted his penalty kick late in the first half, paving the way for the Old Lady’s qualification to the Europa League quarter-finals.
The former Fiorentina man explained the importance of scoring for strikers, while making sure to thank his teammates and the club for their continuous support.
Vlahovic also admitted that he still has a lot more to offer, hoping to deliver improved displays in his next outings.
“I thank everyone, we are a team, always united,”
I think I can help even more. The goal means a lot,” said the bomber in his post-match interview as published by the official Juventus website.
“We strikers live for this, but the most important thing is that we made it to the next round by winning.
“We need to continue like this, with humility and determination, to go as far as possible, taking one game at a time. Let’s continue like this, all together, with the same conviction.”
