Cristiano Ronaldo Rested as Moise Kean Inspires Juventus Past Udinese in Serie A

A Moise Kean brace inspired a much-changed Juventus side to a 4-1 victory over Udinese in Serie A on Friday.

Manager Massimiliano Allegri made numerous alterations to the XI with Tuesday's UEFA Champions League showdown with Atletico Madrid in mind, meaning Cristiano Ronaldo watched on from the bench.

In his place, Kean excelled, netting twice in the first half to leave the Italian champions in total control of the contest. Emre Can's penalty midway through the second period ended any lingering hopes of a comeback for the visitors, before Blaise Matuidi added the gloss to the scoreline.
