Juventus, PSV set USMNT Champions League record: Weston McKennie shines in 3-1 win, Malik Tillman and Ricardo Pepi struggle

McKennie opted to stay at Juventus this season, leaving more questions than answers. After a summer filled with transfer drama, speculation over his future in Turin and rumors galore, the 26-year-old <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/usmnt-weston-mckennie-tim-weah-bench-juventus-empoli/bltf958456ffeab2b2c" target="_self">signed a contract extension with the Bianconeri</a> and announced his commitment to the club through 2026 in late August.He then went as an unused substitute in their first two Serie A matches of the season. Matchday 3 saw him earn 23 minutes off the bench, but in their fourth of the campaign, he again went as an unused sub.More questions came about, especially after he stayed in Turin during the September FIFA international window, missing a camp with the USMNT (which was in the process of hiring Mauricio Pochettino as its new head coach). However, Tuesday marked a change in the pattern. His first start, his first moment to impress - and boy, did he.A rock in the midfield, McKennie also was an attacking threat, bagging the Bianconeri's second of the match en route to victory. The moment his strike hit the back of the net, the camera panned to a smiling Motta who was beaming; it seemed like a potential turning point for McKennie and the manager.The Italian trusted McKennie in their first UCL match of the campaign, and he repaid him. You cannot ask for much more.

Motta gives McKennie a chance to prove himself

The 24-year-old American midfielder-turned-defender, has emerged out of the shadows in place of an injured Sergino Dest this season, struggled mightily on the big stage. On Juventus' opening goal, he was beaten rather stupendously by Yildiz, who danced past him to fire home what was a brilliant opener.Ledezma earned his sixth-straight start for PSV after a really solid beginning to the season, but in his biggest test yet, he faltered. There were moments where he impressed, especially in forward transition with moving the ball, but in 1v1 defending, he found himself exposed more often than not.Tuesday's match underscored how different the UCL will be in comparison to the Eredivisie this season for the Dutch side - and for Ledezma, it was a wakeup call if he wants to continue starting in that right back spot and potentially gain USMNT call ups.

Richy Ledezma struggled under the lights

Federico Chiesa's move to Liverpool in August opened up a starting spot in the attack for Juventus this season. Many thought it would immediately go to Weah, but the signing of Argentine international Nico Gonzalez has proved to be a larger roadblock for him than expected.Weah started their Serie A opener on Aug. 19 and even scored a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/video-usmnt-tim-weah-juventus-goal/blt3060d7992b353083" target="_self">lovely goal </a>- but he was forced off through injury, missing the September international window before returning to the pitch this past weekend for the Bianconeri.He earned 23 minutes off the bench in a<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/usmnt-weston-mckennie-tim-weah-bench-juventus-empoli/bltf958456ffeab2b2c" target="_self"> 0-0 draw with Empoli,</a> and 21 off the bench Tuesday evening. Perhaps it's too early to read into the situation, especially with his three-week layoff, but it's now become certain that nothing is a given on the right wing under Motta.Weah will have to fight for minutes every week if he wants to feature regularly in their XI. If he doesn't, he might find playing time hard to come by.

Chiesa exit doesn't guarantee Weah minutes

Overall, it was an evening to forget for PSV. Nobody played particularly well. Neither Pepi or Tillman stepped up, despite both featuring in the match, and that's a problem.Tillman logged 90 minutes, starting from the opening whistle, while Pepi came off the bench in the 77th minute. The Dutch side earned a stoppage-time consolation goal, but neither were involved.In 13 minutes off the bench, and stoppage, Pepi had just four total touches. Tillman, meanwhile, created just two total attacking chances across the entire match. Neither took the opportunity handed to them.The UCL is a platform where moments are made and in <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/juventus-psv-champions-league-usmnt/blt286d7a65bc1562ee" target="_blank">a contest between five Americans across the board</a>, the two PSV attackers underwhelmed the most, and left a ton be desired.
