Juventus' 2-1 win was marginally deserved on the balance of play, with their 1.75 xG narrowly eclipsing Celta Vigo's 1.1, though the scoreline flattered the hosts slightly. Despite only 53% possession, Juventus created significantly more danger — their 22 total shots (6 on target) dwarfed Celta's 9 (2 on target), with 17 efforts coming inside the box compared to the hosts' 5. The decisive contribution came from substitute Randal Kolo Muani, who converted Andrea Cambiaso's assist in the 92nd minute after Nick Woltemade's equaliser (58') cancelled out Hugo Alvarez Antunez's opener (18').

Celta's early lead against the run of play masked their struggle to contain Juventus' width — the visitors' 7 corners to Celta's 2 reflected their superior chance creation from wide areas. While both sides registered 2 yellow cards, Juventus' defensive substitutions (Lucumi for Kelly at 70') proved crucial in nullifying Celta's counterattacks late on. The telling stat: Juventus' 8 blocked shots to Celta's 2 showcased their relentless pressure in the final third.
