Juventus Vs Man City: Guardiola's Side Beaten Again As Old Lady Win
Weston McKennie waved an imaginary wand and American compatriot Tim Weah joined in with him in the celebration. The pair had just linked up with Weah assisting McKennie for Juventus’ second goal in a 2-0 win over Manchester City — marking the first time in Champions League history that two players from the United States combined for a goal. Minutes after they both came on as substitutes, McKennie started and finished the move as the midfielder gathered the ball in his own half before picking out Weah on the right. Weah’s first attempt at a cross was blocked but his second was met by a spectacular McKennie scissor-kick volley from 10 yards. That sparked McKennie’s traditional celebration, which he has previously said is because he is a huge Harry Potter fan. The United States midfielder even has a tattoo on his finger of a lightning bolt in tribute to the fictional young wizard.
