Juventus is too strong for Al Ain - Photo: REUTERS
As the champion of the AFC Champions League season 2023 - 2024, Ai Ain is not considered inferior. They own more than 10 foreign players from Europe and South America.
Meanwhile, Juventus has just had a terrible season and is no longer considered a true "giant" of European football. Juventus can only win a ticket to the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup thanks to FIFA's regulation that each football country can have a maximum of two representatives in the tournament, causing many stronger teams in La Liga, Premier League... to be eliminated.
But then when they clashed in Group G, Juventus showed the difference between Asian and European football.
In the 11th minute, striker Kolo Muani jumped high to head the ball into the net after Costa's precise cross, opening the score for Juventus.

Just 10 minutes later, Juventus doubled the lead with a solo effort from Conceicao. The diminutive Portuguese midfielder skillfully maneuvered the penalty area, dribbling past two opponents and unleashing a shot that hit a defender in the Al Ain net.
Al Ain poured forward in a flurry of attacks, which only made them more vulnerable. In the 31st minute, Turkish striker Yildiz unleashed a dangerous shot from the edge of the penalty area, raising the score to 3-0 for Juventus.
The remaining minutes were just torture for UAE football fans. Juventus played leisurely and was still able to score 2 more goals by Muani (minute 45+4) and Conceicao (minute 58), sealing a 5-0 victory.
This victory helped Juventus temporarily surpass Man City (won Wydad 2-0) to take the lead in Group G. This was also the match that ended the first round of the group stage.
The second round of matches will begin tonight, when Palmeiras take on Al Ahly in Group A, kicking off at 11pm.
