The match was tightly contested until substitute Samuel Mbangula scored a decisive late goal to secure the win for the Italian side.

Motta highlighted the importance of squad rotation and the ability of his substitutes to influence games, stating, "A strong bench is what separates great teams from good teams. Every player must be ready to step in and make an impact."

PSV, meanwhile, rued missed opportunities and defensive lapses that led to their downfall.

Juventus captain Danilo also weighed in on the importance of the team's collective effort, adding, "It’s not just about the starting eleven; it’s about the whole squad being ready. Everyone played their part in this win."

With this victory, Juventus continues to build momentum, reinforcing their position as a strong contender in the Champions League.
