Juventus made it two wins out of two to begin its UEFA Champions League return, with Weston McKennie playing a key role in Wednesday’s road victory.
McKennie started and played 90 minutes as the Bianconeri defeated RB Leipzig 3-2. Despite being down to 10 men for most of the second half, Thiago Motta’s squad used goals from Dusan Vlahovic and Chico Conceicao to steal three points against the Bundesliga hosts.
McKennie completed 87% of his passes, won three duels, and made two tackles, delivering a solid shift in midfield. The 26-year-old has started in each of Juventus’ last four matches, continuing to earn his role back for the club.
Juventus will host Cagliari on Sunday in its final match before the international break. McKennie will seek another strong performance before joining up with his U.S. men’s national team teammates.
Elsewhere, Malik Tillman went the distance in PSV’s UCL draw with Sporting Lisbon. Christian Pulisic logged 90 minutes, but AC Milan lost at Bayer Leverkusen.
In England, Josh Sargent and Haji Wright both scored in EFL Championship action.
