Juventus Looks for Champions League Win Against Sporting CP

Turin, Italy — After a weekend victory, Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti is focused on revitalizing his team’s Champions League campaign. The team will face Sporting CP on November 4, 2025, at Juventus Stadium in what is considered a critical match for their European aspirations.

Spalletti recently claimed his first win with the club, a 2-1 triumph over Cremonese in Serie A. However, the pressure mounts as Juventus currently sits in 25th place in the Champions League standings and needs points urgently to secure a playoff spot. If the tournament ended today, Juventus would be eliminated from the Round of 16.

Juventus has not secured a win in Europe this season, managing only two draws and one loss. Their latest defeat came against Real Madrid, adding pressure as they prepare to meet Sporting, a team sitting comfortably in the standings after recent successes.

Spalletti’s managerial experience in the Champions League has been a mixed bag. With 67 matches under his belt, Spalletti has won only 29. Despite this, he guided Napoli to the quarterfinals last season, a hopeful sign for Juve fans hungry for European success.

Spalletti needs to build on the momentum gained from the recent victory and instill confidence in the squad. During a pre-match press conference, he acknowledged the challenge ahead, stating, “Tomorrow evening it will be a complicated match. They have a group that knows how to play football well.”

Juventus fans will be keeping a close eye on striker Dusan Vlahovic, who remains a key figure for the team. His ability to spark the attack could be crucial against a Sporting team that has struggled during away matches in Italy.

The match kicks off at 9 p.m. local time and will be broadcast on TNT Sports 4 in the UK and Sky Sport in Italy. As Juventus strives for their first win in the Champions League season, the stakes are high, and a loss could deepen their woes.
