WHAT HAPPENED? The USMNT forward sealed a move to Turin followinga €12 million (£10m/$13m) summer transfer from Lille. In an interview with the club's media after completing the move, Weah had revealed that his dream debut would be to "get an assist and score". And indeed he fulfilled his dream, not fully but in part, as he took just 56 seconds to score against the Spanish giants.

WHAT THEY SAID: It's dope. Being back home, scoring in the United States against such a beautiful team like Real Madrid. I think that's the perfect way to start my Juventus career and hopefully, I can do more during the season, assist goals and just develop as a player," he told AS after the match.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Weah was set up with an incisive back pass from fellow USMNT teammate Weston McKennie and the striker spoke highly about the camaraderie that he shares with the midfielder.

"I have been playing with Weston for years now. I kind of know what he does, I know where to move when I need to, our connection is great. I think that's something that is helping me out here at Juventus as well," he stated.
