The UEFA Champions League Match-day two first round of matches produced two hat trick heroes whose goals may have put their respective clubs in a pole position for the race for group phase race in the ongoing 2018/19 UEFA Champions League campaign.
A commanding Juventus made it two out of two in the Champions League and nine out of nine this season considering all competitions. Dybala took centre stage in the first game of the season Juventus played without Cristiano Ronaldo, the Argentinian scoring three and hitting the post - he was simply too much to deal with for the Young Boys defence.
While it was a first hat-trick in the #UCL for the Argentine to cap a resounding Juventus victory, it was a step on the steep learning curve in the UEFA Champions League for Young Boys. The Swiss side will be disappointed they didn’t ask some more searching questions of Juve as they had done Manchester United, and Gerardo Seoane will probably be asking himself whether he could have changed things up when it was still 2-0. His team might have nicked a goal, and it could have been a different story. But don’t forget, he is learning too.
Anything Dybala can do, Roma forward Edin Dzeko replied with his own - his eight goals in his last seven UEFA Champions League games for the Bosnian.
A resounding 5-0 win for Roma and it could, and probably should have been a more comfortable margin of victory. They got three points, though, and rarely looked like not winning right from the start. Goals also for Džeko, and a clean sheet. A good night at the office for Di Francesco’s men.
Dybala struck twice in the first half for Juve, who were without the suspended Cristiano Ronaldo. The Argentine striker, 24, completed his treble on 69 minutes to make it nine straight wins in all competitions.
That took the Italian champions past their previous best start of eight wins in 1930-31. Juve won their first nine games as they won Serie A in 2005-06 but were subsequently stripped of the title for match-fixing.
Having won 2-0 at Valencia in their opening Group H game, they are top of the group before Manchester United host Valencia. Now Juventus will face Manchester United twice but their message is clear: the UEFA Champions League is no more a dream, but an objective.
Juventus are unbeaten in their past 19 home games in the Champions League group stage (won 11, drawn eight), while keeping 12 clean sheets in this run. Excluding qualifiers, this is the first time Young Boys have lost back-to-back games in European competition without scoring since September 2010 (0-2 v Club Brugge and 0-3 v Stuttgart in the Uefa Cup/Europa League).
Since the start of 2014-15, Juve have kept 23 clean sheets in the Champions League - only Atletico Madrid have kept more in the competition during this period (24).
Young Boys have not kept a clean sheet in any of their previous 12 games in European competition, with their last one coming back in August 2017 (2-0 v Dynamo Kiev in a Champions League qualifier).
