The Champions League enters its seventh matchday, and tonight all eyes will be on Turin as Juventus host Benfica in a crucial game that could determine their playoff fate.
Luciano Spalletti’s side come into this clash knowing that victory would take them a major step closer to qualification, while José Mourinho’s Benfica have no choice but to win if they want to avoid elimination from the competition.
Elsewhere among the Italian clubs, Inter fell to Arsenal and Napoli were held by Copenhagen — results that only increase the pressure on the Bianconeri to deliver in front of their home crowd at the Allianz Stadium.
