Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie has described his volley against Barcelona as a very special one for him.
The on-loan Schalke player fired home from a Juan Cuadrado cross in the 20th minute to double Juve’s advantage in between two Cristiano Ronaldo’s penalties.
“I was lucky enough to score in the last game I played against Torino in the derby and it’s the same thing I said then, me and Cuadrado have got the same hair, we have got the mental connection, it worked out good and like you said it was a special goal for me,” the American said.
“I think it’s my second Champions League goal and it was against Barcelona, a team that you watched growing up, so it was very special for me.”
