A balanced poster. This round of 16 first leg of the Champions League, between Villarreal and Juventus Turin, Tuesday February 22, promises to be undecided. On a similar level, the two teams sail a few steps from the podium of their respective championships.
Undefeated for six home games, the last winner of the Europa League receives Turinese at El Madrigal who are gradually climbing the slope in Serie A, after a catastrophic start to the season. Unai Emery will be able to count on the man in the shape of the yellow submarine, Arnaut Danjuma, author of a hat-trick on Saturday in Granada. In the group stage, the Dutchman had shaken the net four times.
Conversely, the Old Lady travels to Spain without its striker Paulo Dybala, who was injured on Saturday February 19. But after a solid group stage, punctuated by a single defeat, the Bianconeri keep the hope of seeing the quarters of the C1 again, after two eliminations in the eighth in 2020 and 2021.
