Juventus Defeat Monza to Stay Alive in Champions League Race
Juventus kept their Champions League hopes alive with a crucial 2-0 victory over Monza in Serie A, thanks to goals from Nicolás González and Randal Kolo Muani.
The win lifts the Bianconeri back into fourth place, the final UCL qualification spot—at least temporarily. Their stay in the top four could be short-lived, however, as Bologna will leapfrog them again if they defeat Udinese in their Matchday 34 clash tomorrow.
