Juventus scored twice in the second half to come from behind and defeat Celta Vigo 2-1 in Spain in the second round of the Europa League league phase.

Celta Vigo took the lead in the 18th minute and held that advantage until half-time, putting the home side in control after the opening 45 minutes.

Juventus responded after the interval, with Nick Woltemade equalising in the 58th minute. The Italian side then completed the turnaround in the second minute of added time when Randal Kolo Muani scored the winning goal.
