Juventus win for the first time in 19 years on English soil

With a solid performance from Buffon and very smart tactical approach, Juventus managed to take the 3 points in the most interesting clash of the first round of Champions league.

In doing so, it ended a run of 19 years without victory on English soil. Since beating Manchester United at Old Trafford in 1996, the 'Vecchia Signora' had played 11 official matches in the UK, but had not managed to win any.

In addition, the Italians ended another streak of games without beating a team from Manchester. Juventus had been unable to get the win against either City or United in the last 6 games (3 draws and 3 defeats).

Allegri now expects that the fantastic performance last night will translate into a good leauge match at home this saturday.
