Storylines

Juve: The 4-1 win at Ferencvaros on Matchday 3 was a little tighter than expected through the first half with Juve up 1-0, but they came to life in the second half to put it away. Still, the attack gave up a few too many chances due to sloppy play, which has been the case at the club for a while now. But now with Matthijs de Ligt back from injury, things should improve if Saturday was any sign. The Dutchman returned and started in the 2-0 win over Cagliari where Juve didn't allow a shot on goal with the center-back looking quite stellar. He'll be key moving forward if this team has any hope of contending for the UCL trophy.

Ferencvaros: Eleven goals conceded is the worst defensive record in the competition, equal to that of RB Salzburg. Going up against Ronaldo and company again, there's a chance it gets much worse. A win for Ferencvaros would be one of the biggest upsets in competition history, though it feels unlikely. For even a point, they'll have to take the few chances they get and hope for an off day from the Italian side.
