Star Power Strikes: Real Madrid Pummels Barcelona 3-0 in Champions League Streak!
Luciano Spalletti went down the Road of the False 9 this past weekend against Udinese, with Kenan Yildiz and Jérémie Boga combining to score the only goal in a crucial victory over the other team in Serie A that wears black and white.
UDINE, ITALY - MARCH 14: Jeremie Boga of Juventus celebrates scoring his team's first goal with teammates Andrea Cambiaso and Kenan Yildiz during the Serie A match between Udinese Calcio and Juventus FC at Stadio Friuli on March 14, 2026 in Udine, Italy.

This is a necessary thing when it comes ot their hopes of actually finishing in the top four and qualifying for the Champions League at the end of the 2025-26 season. For a few hours, Juve were in the top four after Saturday’s 1-0 win over Udinese at the Friuli. That changed thanks to Como’s 2-1 win over 10-man Roma a little less than 24 hours later.
But Juventus are hopefully starting to put their February struggles well behind them, and now head into the final fixture before the March international break — which is a very important one in Italy! — with a little bit of wind in their sails. Luciano Spalletti celebrated the win like it.
He knows what is currently at stake. And when you have players like Kenan Yildiz leading the way once again, that’s never a bad thing. You can listen to Episode 329 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast on the player below or your favorite podcast platform.
