Video: Yildiz emulates Juventus hero Del Piero, McKennie doubles lead
Turkish talent Yildiz opened the account at minute 21 with his first Champions League goal. It was a curler into the top far corner, reminiscent of Del Piero’s trademark strikes.
Ironically, Del Piero scored his first Champions League goal in similar fashion in September 1995, in a 3-1 away win at Borussia Dortmund.
American midfielder McKennie doubled the lead for the Bianconeri at minute 27 with a tap-in goal after a nice move from Nico Gonzalez on the right flank.
