Ferencvarosi-Juventus: 1-4 - Champions 2020/2021. Final result and commentary from the game

FULL-TIME: FERENCVAROS 1-4 JUVENTUS22:52

Ronaldo or Bernardeschi could make it 5-1 but neither of them have the legs to bring the ball down inside the area and Dibusz averts the danger.22:50

There will be three minutes of added time as Pirlo's side head towards three points on the road, despite Boli's late consolation goal.22:50

Bernardeschi attempts to find Danilo at the back post, but at the last moment, Ferencvaros' full-back does well to get the deftest of touches to flick it out of the Brazillian's path.22:49

Bonucci launches a long pass over the top for Dybala, who brings the pass down well before sending a cross wayward of Dibusz's goal.22:45

Dybala leads a counter-attack but carelessly gives the ball away to Lovrencsics, the full-back then looks to attack but he also gives away possession.22:43

Zubkov rushes off the pitch and on for him comes Uzuni.22:39

Dybala and McKennie attempt to link-up near the right-hand touchline but they are on completely different wavelenghts and the ball trickles out of play.22:39

The hosts have conceded 26 goals in their eight Champions League matches (3.3 per game), the second-highest ratio in the history of the competition behind only FC Nordsjaelland (22 in 6 games, 3.7 per game).22:36

Frabotta replaces wing-back Cuadrado, who set-up the first goal of the game.22:35

Bernardeschi is substituted on for Chiesa in a like-for-like swap.22:35

Danilo attempts to race over the halfway line and is scythed down so referee Grinfeld rightfully gives a foul as it looks like Pirlo is ready to make some more changes.22:35

Isael, who now goes 37 European games without a goal, comes off for Boli.02:36

Mak is Rebrov's next change as he is brought on in place of Nguen.22:34

WIDE! Isael needlessly gives possession away deep inside his own half. Dybala is more than happy to intercept, before ignoring passing options, racing towards the edge of the area and attempting to chip Dibusz but it goes just wide.22:31

Chiesa fails to control a long ball from the back as it looks like Rebrov is set to make more changes from the Ferencvaros bench.22:30

Szczesny comes to claim the corner and punches long. Lovrencsics then gets far too giddy and tries to shoot from range but blasts handsomely over the bar from 35 yards out.22:28

Botka, who was booked in the first half, is replaced by Heister.22:27

Danilo is forced into conceding a corner on the left after good work from Lovrencsics, the hosts' captain has been there best outlet here.22:27

Despite being on a hat-trick, Pirlo brings off Morata and in his place on comes the Argentinian, Dybala.22:26

Dibusz takes an age to send a pass out to Lovrencsics on the right-hand touchline. The hosts then play some nice football across all areas of the pitch but don't really make any progress as Danilo intercepts around the left-back region.22:25

The visitors appear content to stroke the ball about from side to side as they manipulate and tease this Ferencvaros defence. It is hard to see how the hosts get back into this game from here.22:23

Lovrencsics sends in an inviting cross towards Isael but Bonucci does excellently to get across and head clear the danger from inside the area.22:21

Ronaldo drives a pass towards Cuadrado, but the wing-back runs past it, allowing Morata to come onto it and strike to score to make it 2-0.22:21

Bentancur is far too enthusiastic as he looks to win possession back and referee Grinfeld rightly pulls up the midfielder for his foul on Nguen in the middle of the park.22:18

WIDE! Ronaldo latches onto Siger's wayward pass backwards and advances into the area. The Portuguese striker is then far too selfish as he shoots just wide with his right foot, despite Morata waiting at the back post for what would have been the simplest of tap-ins.22:16

Chiesa and Cuadrado link-up and the former thinks he is in inside the area, however, the referee pulls it back and suggests the winger has handled the ball in the build-up.22:15

Ronaldo chops and turns inside the area but Botka is matched to the Portuguese skills and does well to recover. Cuadrado then attempts to pick up the loose ball but gives away a throw-in to the hosts in the process.22:13

McKennie comes on in midfield to replace Ramsey, who had just gone down injured.22:12

Ramsey beckons for the medical team to come on as he clutches his hamstring and that looks like the Welsh midfielder's game could be over.22:11

Bentancur leads Juve's counter-attack and carries over halfway but the move breaks down as Ramsey cannot sort his feet out inside Ferencvaros' area.22:09

Morata is far too ambitious as he attempts to hook a pass over the top for Chiesa and that will be easy for Lovrencsics to intercept.22:07

Ronaldo and Morata combine early doors before the former is fouled near the edge of the D. Ronaldo stands over the free-kick for a short time before whipping a right-footed effort straight into the hands of Dibusz.22:05

Both sides are back out and referee Grinfeld gets the second half underway!22:02

Bentancur comes on to replace Arthur at half-time, whether that be due to tactical reasons or for injury remain unclear.22:02

Looking ahead to the next 45, you would have to assume that Ferencvaros are going to come out and chase this game. However, this will play exactly into the hands of Pirlo and his men, as Morata, Ronaldo and Chiesa wait down the other end to counter-attack. Also, given the depth of talent on the visitors' bench, it would be hard to imagine Juve not collecting three points here.21:49

Pirlo's side go in 1-0 up at the break, courtesy of Morata's goal at the back post after some good work from Cuadrado down the right. The hosts have rarely ventured into Juve's half and when they have, they have yet to test goalkeeper Szczesny. The visitors, in fact, could have grabbed one or two more if Ronaldo or Chiesa had been a bit more clincal inside the Ferencvaros area.21:48

HALF-TIME: FERENCVAROS 0-1 JUVENTUS21:46

There will be one minute of added time as the hosts do not get but feel like they should have a free-kick right on the edge of the area, thanks to a foul on Somalia.21:46

Ramsey and Ronaldo both have shots blocked inside a matter of minutes as the hosts seem to struggle to get out of their own half.21:43

Cuadrado goes flying past Ronaldo in an attempt to overlap down the right before deciding to play sensibly and backwards as the visitors look to take their 1-0 lead into half-time.21:41

Rabiot thinks he is through after intercepting in midfield but the referee pulls it back and suggests Rabiot had initially handled the ball as he looked to break.21:40

Botka is down near the goal-line, clutching his knee and will need to receive medical treatment. After a bit of attention from the physios, play resumes and the left-back returns to the playing field.21:38

LAST DITCH TACKLE! Ronaldo and Morata play a one-two in the area, with Ronaldo going round the goalkeeper and ready to tap into an empty net but Blazic sees it differently as he slides in to save the day!21:37

Ramsey slides in on Zubkov and then is furious with Grinfeld for giving a free-kick against him. The hosts take the free-kick short, from 40 yards out, before Lovrencsics sends a poor cross out for a goal-kick.21:34

Cuadrado is sent flying by Botka as he races into the area, however, that was purely contact between shoulders and the referee is happy to give the hosts the goal-kick.21:33

Blazic mishits a pass which gives the visitors the chance to break. After working possession from side to side, Cuadrado looks to cross towards Morata but the hosts' defence stands firm to intercept.21:32

Chiesa gets isolated against just Lovrencsics, dances past the full-back and fires a cross towards the front post which Morata fails to control, therefore the ball trickles through tamely to Dibusz.21:30

Blazic is adjudged to have fouled Morata after shoving him down inside Juve's half, much to the frustration of the few fans in the stadium.21:28

Isael gets back to do defensive duties, dispossessing Arthur before releasing Nguen. However, the winger is too indecisive which allows Juve to regroup in numbers in their own half.21:27

WIDE! Lovrencsics finds Zubkov inside the area and in tons of space. Zubkov then opts to poke a shot with the outside of his left boot which curls just the wrong side of Szczesny's right-hand post.21:26

BLOCK! Ronaldo looks to shoot from near the byline but opts to tee up Chiesa instead. The goalkeeper has raced out and is nowhere to be seen, so Chiesa just has to beat the wall of green shirts in the area, but unfortunately for the visitors, the winger sends his shot straight into the three or four men protecting the goal.21:25

Ramsey and Ronaldo exchange multiple passes through the middle of the park, with the latter nearly running through after the Welsh midfielder's final pass, which is just slightly overhit, allowing Dvali to intervene.21:24

CRUCIAL BLOCK! Juve break through the combination of Ronaldo, Chiesa and Morata. The latter races onto Ronaldo's pass and with just one centre-back to beat, Blazic steps in to save the day and clear the danger as Morata raced through towards goal.21:22

Despite the visitors grabbing the first goal, the hosts have had a fair share of possession this half. This time, Ferencvaros' possession culminates in Nguen shooting wide with his right foot from the edge of the area.21:20

Ferencvaros could be the 34th different team that Juventus forward Ronaldo scores against in the Champions League, with only Lionel Messi (36) finding the net against more different opponents than Ronaldo’s current tally of 33.21:19

Botka gets the first caution of the game after standing on the back of Cuadrado's heel as he looked to break away near the halfway line.21:19

Somalia finds a bit of space inside the area, working it onto his left foot past Bonucci before firing wide to the right of Szczesny's goal.21:17

Danilo is forced to turn behind Lovrencsics' cross and the hosts will have the first corner of the game. Isael takes it short to Nguen, who stalls for an unneccessary amount of time before Juve deal with the resulting cross.21:15

Nguen has a speculative effort after cutting in on his right foot from 30 yards out but he sends his shot both high and wide of the Juve goal.21:13

A first chance comes for the hosts as Lovrencsics looks to cross from the byline, however, Isael is slow in getting towards the front post and that is easy for Chiellini to deal with.21:12

Danilo arrows a pass out to Cuadrado, who tees the ball back to Ramsey to shoot but his shot is blocked before it can trouble Dibusz in net.21:10

Morata looks to latch onto Chiesa's little dinked pass inside the hosts' area, however, the striker fails to get the final touch and it trickles through to Dibusz.21:09

Cuadrado reaches the byline and whips across a low right-footed cross across the six yard area for Morata to tap-in at the back post.22:20

Chiesa twists and turns, however, his tricks and spins aren't enough to beat captain Lovrencsics as he hammers into the winger with a firm sliding tackle near the left-hand touchline.21:06

Juventus are looking to avoid losing consecutive Champions League group stage matches for the first time since October 2014, with current boss Pirlo featuring in the second of those defeats against Olympiakos.21:04

Cuadrado appeals for a penalty after Botka's slide tackle near the byline but again, the referee goes against Juve's wishes and gives a goal-kick.21:04

Chiesa thinks he has broken away after Ronaldo's flick-on but the referee and his assistant deem the ball has gone out of play and give a Ferencvaros throw-in.21:01

Referee Orel Grinfeld blows his whistle to get this Champions League fixture started!21:00

The players are making their way on to the Puskas Arena pitch and shortly the game will be underway.20:56

Ferencvaros and Juventus will meet for just the second time in European competition, with the previous game coming in a 1-0 win for the Hungarian side in the 1964/65 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup final.20:53

Pirlo opts for a back four as opposed to his usual three-man defence, perhaps due to the suspension of Merih Demiral. Ronaldo is straight back into the starting eleven, now he is eligible to return to his favourite stage of them all, the Champions League.20:50

Sergiy Rebrov makes five changes to his side that drew with Fehervar. Nguen and Isael are preferred up top, despite the latter having yet to have scored a goal in his 36 European appearances.20:47

SUBS: Gianluca Frabotta, Weston McKennie, Paulo Dyala, Dejan Kulusevski, Gianluigi Buffon, Alessandro Pio Riccio, Manolo Portanova, Carol Pinsoglio, Federico Bernardeschi, Rodrigo Bentancur.20:45

JUVENTUS (4-3-3): Wojciech Szczesny; Leonardo Bonucci, Juan Cuadrado, Danilo, Giorgio Chiellini; Adrien Rabiot, Arthur, Aaron Ramsey; Federico Chiesa, Cristiano Ronaldo, Alvaro Morata.20:52

SUBS: Roke Baturina, Marcel Heister, Robert Mak, Myrto Uzuni, Franck Boli, Abraham Frimpong, Adnan Kovacevic, Gergo Szecsi.20:39

After a poor showing against Barcelona last time out, Andrea Pirlo’s side look to get their Champions League campaign back on track against Ferencvaros. The hosts picked up a point last game against Dynamo Kiev as they fought back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2.20:33
