Substitute goals keep Juventus’ Champions League hopes alive

Goals from Federico Gatti and Jeremie Boga against Roma on Sunday not only preserved Juventus’ push for a top-four finish, but also propelled the Bianconeri into the top three teams in Serie A for goals scored by substitutes.

Boga and Gatti scored late Juventus goals in a 3-3 comeback draw against Roma on Sunday, keeping the Bianconeri four points below the Giallorossi in the Serie A table.

Juventus substitutes’ goals in 2025-26

As reported by Gazzetta, Juventus have now scored eight goals with substitutes this season, the same as Atalanta and Cagliari, putting them in the top three, behind Inter (11).

Filip Kostic already scored a substitute goal against Napoli with Luciano Spalletti in charge.

During Igor Tudor’s tenure, Dusan Vlahovic had netted against Parma and Genoa after being introduced from the bench. Vasilije Adzic did the same against Inter and Juan Cabal against Atalanta.

Boga had already provided the assist for Juventus’ second goal in a 2-2 comeback draw against Lazio.

Last night, the ex-Sassuolo and Atalanta star didn’t have his best performance, with five negative dribbles and possession lost 13 times.

However, he was in the right place at the right time to score his first Serie A goal in three years and keep Juventus’ Champions League qualification hopes alive.
