Juventus secured a 2-0 win over OGC Nice during their latest pre-season friendly. The match saw notable contributions from Douglas Luiz and recent arrival Justin Oboavwoduo, who joined the club from Manchester City. The Bianconeri entered the fixture with a depleted squad, as several players remained unavailable due to injuries and commitments related to the 2026 World Cup campaign.
Head coach Thiago Motta utilized new signing Zeki Celik in the starting XI at right-back, while Pierre Kalulu was deployed on the opposite flank. Early in the match, Fabio Miretti missed a header from a promising position. The deadlock was eventually broken in the 11th minute by Douglas Luiz. The midfielder dispossessed a defender in the final third, drove inside, and fired a powerful strike into the roof of the net from the edge of the penalty area.
Following the break, Joao Mario was introduced and missed a significant opportunity, while Nice also threatened through a Clauss volley that narrowly missed the post. Juventus ultimately sealed their 2-0 victory in the 89th minute when Vasilije Adzic provided the assist for Oboavwoduo. Running down the left, Oboavwoduo curled a precise finish into the far corner using his right boot to conclude the scoring.
The Juventus starting lineup featured Di Gregorio in goal, with Celik, Gatti, Kelly, and Kalulu in defense. The midfield included Douglas Luiz, who was replaced by Koopmeiners at half-time, alongside Locatelli, Zhegrova, and Cambiaso. Miretti and Milik also featured, with various substitutions including Cabal, Gil, Arthur, Joao Mario, Adzic, Oboavwoduo, Durmisi, and Licina appearing throughout the second half.
