From the source

129th birthday might actually go. Not because of who they were playing, but mostly because of what they did the last time they took the field.

They looked like a team that was on the cusp of even more badness — which, in all fairness, could still be the case a month or two from now.

But on this night, Juventus showed they still have some fight in them. You combine that fight and mindset with two absolute beauties of goals from Kerim Alajbegović and Jérémie Boga, Juventus actually showed that they can function as an actual team compared to the performance from midweek in Genoa.
