The Champions League saw three Argentine goalscorers this week.
Two goals scored from Argentines for Juventus while one was scored for a Portuguese club. For Juventus, it was Gonzalo HIGUAIN and Paulo DYBALA who both scored for the Serie A champions in a 4-0 away win to Dinamo Zagreb. For those interested, Paulo DYBALA’s goal is at 2:57 in the video below.
Eduardo SALVIO scored Benfica’s second goal of the night but it wasn’t enough as they lost 4-2 against Napoli.
It wasn’t all scoring for one Argentine though as Luciano VIETTO had a rough match against Lyon in Spain. VIETTO missed a few one on one chances with the goalkeeper, with one attempt being a chip over the goalkeeper but his shot being cleared on the line by a defender.
VIETTO also missed a penalty kick in the match as his shot went over the bar.
