Thiago Motta’s Juventus finally saw their unbeaten run in Serie A come to an end on Saturday when they lost to Napoli after months of defeats
What happened?
US worldwide Weston McKennie and Juventus were beaten 2-1 by Antonio Conte’s Napoli on Saturday, providing the Bianconeri with their most memorable loss of the Serie A mission against the association chiefs.
McKennie was sent at right back all through the match, while worldwide countryman Tim Weah stayed on the seat as an unused substitute.
The Bianconeri opened the scoring not long before halftime through debutant Randall Kolo Muani, yet Andre-Candid Zambo Anguissa’s balancer and Romelu Lukaku’s possible game-dominating punishment put them on the triumphant track in the last part.
McKennie played an hour and a half, finishing 85% of his passes and enlisting 58 contacts.

Juventus had an undefeated homegrown standard season crusade until Saturday’s loss, with Thiago Motta’s men posting a 8-13-0 (W-D-L) record before the match. The Bianconeri were hoping to turn into the primary Serie A group to finish a 38-game season without a loss since the 2011-12 program.
The incongruity existing apart from everything else is that the club that went unbeaten very nearly quite a while back is overseen by Napoli’s Conte; meaning the Italian chief kept up with his longstanding record as the solitary supervisor to keep a group unbeaten in a Serie A mission by beating the Old Woman on Saturday.
Do you know?
McKennie has played in various situations for Juventus this season, including left back, right back, focal midfield and focus guarded mid. He has shown his flexibility at each level for the Italian side, despite the fact that he has basically worked as a No. 8.
What next for Juventus?
The Bianconeri are back in real life in the UEFA Champions Association on Wednesday when they have Portuguese force to be reckoned with Benfica in the last match of the gathering stage.
