Juventus demolish Al Ain 5-0 in Club World Cup opener

Juventus made a scintillating start to their 2025 FIFA Club World Cup campaign, crushing UAE side Al Ain 5-0 in a one-sided Group G clash at Audi Field on Thursday, 19 June.

The Italian giants took control early, with Randal Kolo Muani firing them ahead after just 11 minutes.

Portuguese winger Francisco Conceição doubled the lead ten minutes later, before 20-year-old sensation Kenan Yıldız curled in a stunning third from distance.

Kolo Muani struck again in first-half stoppage time, sending Juventus into the break with a commanding 4-0 lead.

Al Ain, error-prone and overwhelmed, never recovered. Conceição sealed his brace just before the hour mark, wrapping up a ruthless display from Igor Tudor’s side.
