Juventus secured a strong result in their 2-1 victory over PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday in the Champions League playoff stage, and a big reason why was American Weston McKennie, who once again showed his importance becoming only the fifth U.

Juventus manager Thiago Motta heaped praise on Weston McKennie after Tuesday's 2-1 win over PSV, calling the American midfielder "special."

Ivan Perisic drew things level 10 minutes into the second half, nestling a low strike under Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio. Juventus substitute Samuel Mbangula put the game away in the 82nd minute to give the hosts a narrow advantage ahead of next week’s conclusion.
