The match was of critical importance for the group leadership as both teams had secured their place in the last 16 round. While Manchester City opened the gap with their effective attacking play, Juventus, despite showing resistance especially in the first half, could not turn the match around due to the problems they had in defense.

So, Juventus defense could not find a solution to Manchester City's attacks, even though they showed some resistance. Manchester City's effectiveness on the wings, especially Doku and Foden, combined with Haaland's finishing ability, made the difference. Kenan Yıldız's late entry and great play against City was very impressive.
