Watch as Nicolò Savona makes a childhood dream come true, as after joining Juventus at age 8, he scored on his full debut – and even Dusan Vlahovic gave him the goal against Verona.
The full-back had already come off the bench for the 3-0 win over Como, but here was given his first start for the senior squad at the age of 21 and really made it count.
He ran to the back post to get his head onto the cross from fellow NextGen Juventus talent Samuel Mbangula, who had also scored on his full debut last week, and sent the looping header over everyone.
There were some doubts as to whether Vlahovic made contact on the line, but the striker immediately pointed to the youngster to reassure him it was all his.
This is the second game in a row where a player from the NextGen team given a rare opportunity by Thiago Motta has rewarded him with a goal.
