Red Card for Caball in Champions League Match Affects Juventus

Colombian defender Caball was shown a red card during a UEFA Champions League playoff match in Istanbul against Galatasaray. The incident occurred after Juventus coach Spalletti introduced him into the game in the second half.

According to reports, this red card contributed to a "collapse" in Juventus's performance during the match and represented a significant setback for the young player's ongoing development. Coach Spalletti had notably opted for Caball over Cambiaso for his second-half substitution, underscoring the weight of that decision.

Reports further suggested that Caball faced difficulties and was affected by the pressure of the game. However, the article stressed that he was not the sole reason for Juventus's struggles, implying that the team's problems were more profound than a single individual error.

It is worth noting that Caball has played a total of eight matches in the Champions League, mostly as a substitute, which reflects his relatively modest experience in the competition. He has also received a card in half of his Champions League appearances, potentially indicating a recurring pattern in his play.
