Juventus scored 22 shots and won the Europa League 2-1 at Celta Vigo on October 15, substitute Randal Kolo Muani heading in Andrea Cambiaso’s cross in added time.
The comeback began at the Estadio de Balaídos in the 2nd leg of the 2026/27 league season when Hugo Alvarez put the hosts ahead in the 18th minute after completing a move set up by Williot Swedberg. Nick Woltemade equalized in the 58th minute, reacting to Teun Koopmeiners cross with Marcos Alonso’s misdirected chest.
Celta led for most of the match, but Juventus’ pressure showed in the final numbers: the Bianconeri had 53% possession and 6 shots on target, against the hosts’ 47% and two shots. Kolo Muani’s decisive header is listed in the match list at 90+2.
Woltemade and Kolo Muani complete the turnaround
Woltemade’s equalizer and Kolo Muani’s late finish gave Juventus both goals after Celta struck first. Kolo Muani came on in the second half, then found space between the defenders and met Cambiaso’s close-range pass.
The result marks another crucial contribution from Woltemade to Juventus form, while Kolo Muani provided the finish that turned the draw into an away win. Their goals also extended Juventus’ strong start to the competition.
“Juventus” has maintained its perfect record in the Europa League
According to Football Italia, Juventus opened the campaign with a 5-0 win over NEC and were top of the table before traveling to Spain. The win over Celta maintained their perfect record after two league stage matches. A 1:1 draw was recorded with “Cagliari” in Serie A.
The Bianconeri’s previous trip to Europe against NEC also began to take its toll on the competition, while the return trip to Vigo provided a tougher test. “Football Italia” informs that “Juventus” is dealing with the injuries of Kanan Yildiz, Jeremy Boga, Khephren Thuram, Manuel Locatelli, Jeff Ekhator, Kamil Grabara and Arek Milik.
The clubs last met in March 2000 in the round of 16 of the UEFA Cup, a 4-0 victory for Celta after Juventus took a 1-0 lead in the first leg. This time, “Juventus” leaves Vigo with three points and two wins from the first games of the Europa League.
