According to the DAZN pitchside reporter, Bianconeri boss Tudor was highly disappointed with Nico Gonzalez as he felt the Argentine winger had been sluggish and made too many errors with the ball at his feet.
This is why Nico was subbed off during the halftime break, making room for Portuguese winger Conceiçao.
There seemed to be tension between Randal Kolo Muani and Alberto Costa as well, as the pair was spotted arguing before the start of the second half.
However, Tudor’s substitution immediately produced an effect as Kolo Muani gave Juventus the lead with a header from a Weston McKennie assist.
Kolo Muani and Costa cleared the air after the opening goal, hugging each other during goal celebrations.
