Ten-man Juve concede deep into stoppage time to endanger UCL visa

Juventus' season has been quite tumultuous, with almost as many draws as victories. And, as things stand, that could cost them a place in the Champions League next season.

This time, Igor Tudor's side was seconds away from a massive, almost vital away win on Saturday night in Rome. They were this close to defeating SS Lazio in the crucial battle for the UCL, thanks to Randal Kolo Muani's second-half opener.

The player on loan from Paris Saint-Germain netted shortly after the break for what could have been a crucial victory. Ahead of the game, the Bianconeri were toe-to-toe with Lazio, and the visitors, with 36 Serie A titles to their name, were hoping for all three points.

This potential triumph would be worth even more when we acknowledge the fact they were playing with ten men following the expulsion of Pierre Kalulu at the hour mark.

Tudor's men were holding onto that one-goal lead for more than 30 minutes, but the longevity of the stoppage time proved crucial for the outcome as the home side managed to grab a late draw.

Matias Vecino netted to keep Lazio in contention for the Champions League, Europe's elite competition, which hasn't seen the Biancocelesti since the 2023-24 season.
