Alisha Lehmann left in awe of thumping Juventus win over fierce rivals AC Milan despite playing minimal role

Having suffered just one defeat through 18 domestic fixtures this season, the Bianconeri have opened up a seven-point lead at the top of the table. They appear to be well on course to recapture the league crown they previously won on five successive occasions between 2017 and 2022.

Lehmann was added to Juve’s squad ahead of the 2024-25 campaign, with the 26-year-old forward treading the same career path as Brazilian boyfriend Douglas Luiz as they both severed ties with Aston Villa and took on an Italian job.

Lehmann has been among the goals for Juve this term, but was restricted to an eight-minute cameo off the bench against Milan. She saw the Bianconeri add two goals to their impressive tally while on the pitch, as a resounding 6-0 win was wrapped up.

After hitting their fierce foes for six, Lehmann has paid homage to “this team” on social media, with Juventus’ performances considered to be red-hot at present. They will be back in action on Sunday when facing Fiorentina in the first leg of their Italian Women’s Cup semi-final.
