He echoed the same message to Sky Sport after the match: “In the first leg we suffered, but today it was different. I’m happy with the goal. We want to stay in our flow. Now we rest for two or three days and then head to Munich.”
Thuram also highlighted the group effort: “I feel good physically and with the team. When we play this well, it helps me perform at this level. This is a collective win, and we’re happy to play together.”
On a personal note, he added: “It was the first time my brother came to watch me, so I’m very happy. The celebration? We all had a coffee together.”
Analyzing the match on Sky Sport, the French midfielder said: “It was an important team victory. We played well and suffered when necessary.
We’ve grown and we’re playing better than in the first leg. Hopefully we can keep improving.” When asked about Benzema, he joked: “He’s happy in Saudi Arabia, but if he wanted to come, we’d be happy.”
David: “I Felt the Coach’s Trust”
David also shared his thoughts with DAZN: “The celebration? The others can explain it better than me. We wanted something simple to do together, an idea we came up with during the day.”

He then revealed a key turning point: “After the missed penalty, I felt the coach’s trust. That’s when everything changed.”
Speaking more openly to Sky Sport, the striker added: “It was a beautiful match, but also very difficult. My goal came at the right moment. It wasn’t easy, but I’m happy with the result.
The fans? I was delighted by the standing ovation—I didn’t realize it immediately. I needed time to adapt to Juventus and my teammates. Now the coach is giving me confidence, and I’m trying to repay it on the pitch.”
Juventus leave the Allianz Stadium not only with three points, but with renewed momentum, belief, and a clear message: they are firmly back in the race.
