Vlahovic’s 11-Second Winner Keeps JuventusChampions League Bid Alive

The result preserves a push for Champions League income seen as vital to club budgets under UEFA limits.

Overview

  • Juventus beat Lecce 1-0 on Saturday, with Dusan Vlahovic scoring after 11 seconds in his first start since a long injury layoff.
  • Two Juventus goals were later ruled out for offside, and coach Luciano Spalletti’s call for a reaction after dropped points was met with a tighter display.
  • The win sustains Juventus’ pursuit of a Champions League place that local estimates value at about €80 million, which the club has tied to a 2027 break‑even target.
  • On Sunday, Juventus Women drew 3-3 with Inter to clinch next season’s Champions League, with coach Massimiliano Canzi calling the point a key step in meeting their goals.
  • Across Serie A, coaches link the final three matches to finances and squad planning, with Roma’s Gian Piero Gasperini citing a June 30 UEFA deadline and saying no player is truly off the market in the current climate.
