To Turin without Piqué

Gerard Piqué will not play in Turin. The center-back was sent off by the Swiss Schärer in an action that perhaps he could avoid. With 3-0, Piqué dropped Nguen on a play preceded by a Pjanic loss and in which, perhaps because of the score, he was able to wait for him to resolve against Neto. Piqué started the grab outside the area, but ended it inside. For Schärer it was inevitable to expel him and the VAR, in which the Italian Massimiliano Irrati was, did not save him either..

So, Piqué will not play next week against Juventus in Turin in a match that could be decisive for the first position of the group. The Juventinos have started their march in Group G on the right foot thanks to their triumph in Kiev with two goals from Morata. Koeman will have to make do with the Araújo-Lenglet couple. The Uruguayan has just reached the first team and will have a major challenge against players of the highest level.
