Juventus came from behind in their Champions League clash against Olympiakos to secure much needed three points on Tuesday night.
The hosts took the lead in the first half after veteran midfielder Andrea Pirlo, who made his 100th appearance, produced yet another masterpiece from a freekick and scored a curler into the left corner from 25 yards. But Olympiakos gave a quick reply as Botia cancelled out Pirlo’s strike by heading Alejandro Dominguez’s delivery from the corner into the far post.
With two defeats from three games in their group, this was a must win game for the Bianconeri. But Delvin N'Dinga’s header from Giannis Maniatis' cross gave the Greeks a 2-1 lead which generated panic from the home supporters.
However, things turned around for the Old Lady after an own goal from Roberto in the 65th minute and Paul Pogba finished things off with a low strike completing a comeback win.
Here are the goals.
