The match, which was played on Sunday, saw Juventus finish with ten players after Andrea Cambiaso was sent off, but Dusan Vlahovic secured the victory with a second goal.Last season, David scored 25 goals and provided 12 assists in 49 games with Lille.“It’s everything I expected,” declared David, who received an ovation when substituted in the 80th minute. “It was the first game of the season and the fans created an incredible atmosphere, you could feel their support. I’m happy to score in my first game, but the most important thing is the three points.”
