Juventus 0 - 2 Barcelona : Barcelona down Juventus with goals from Messi, Dembele
Barcelona made it two wins from two in the Champions League Group G with a 2-0 win over Juventus in Turin on Wednesday night.
Juventus were without Cristiano Ronaldo, who tested positive for COVID-19 on Oct. 13, meaning a matchup pitting the Portuguese against Lionel Messi for the first time since 2018 would have to wait until at least the second group encounter.
Barca problem child Ousmane Dembele got the start alongside Messi and he rewarded Ronald Koeman's faith early on with a goal from outside the penalty area to give the visitors the lead.
Juventus Alvaro Morata had 2 goals disallowed for offside after review by VAR.
The hosts' hopes of getting back in the game took a big hit in the 84th minute when Merih Demiral was sent off after receiving a second yellow card to leave Juve with only 10 players to the match.
Messi then put the game away from the penalty spot after Ansu Fati was hauled down in the box to reach the final scoreline.
