Juventus made the short journey to France this weekend, taking on Marseille in this year’s edition of the Robert Louis-Dreyfus Trophy. Saturday's game was played in honour of the Ligue 1 side’s former owner, who died in July 2009, and a well-fought encounter saw the home side emerge as 2-0 winners by the time the final whistle blew.
Manager Massimiliano Allegri named a strong starting lineup at a packed Stade Velodrome, welcoming Roberto Pereyra back into the team after his experience with Argentina at this summer’s Copa America. Ahead of him, the coach paired Alvaro Morata with Mario Mandzukic, looking to see the latter continue from his match-winning performance against Lechia Gdansk on Wednesday.
