Juventus’ quest for a deep UEFA Champions League run begins on Tuesday in Paris with Weston McKennie and his teammates facing off with the deadliest offensive trio in international soccer.
McKennie and Juventus take on Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc Des Princes in the opening round of group stage action. The Old Lady are five matches unbeaten in Serie A play, but will face their toughest test yet in the form of PSG. McKennie made his third start out of four appearances in a 1-1 draw at Fiorentina on Saturday, logging 90 minutes for the first time since February 10. The U.S. men’s national team midfielder will be pushing to start in Massimiliano Allegri’s squad this week with international duty right around the corner.
