Bab 505: A 40-Yard Free-Kick

The three Juventus substitutes finally stepped onto the pitch one after the other after the ball went out of play for an Atlético Madrid throw-in during the 73rd minute.

Andrea Pirlo entered in place of the injured Claudio Marchisio while Carlos Tevez substituted in for the underperforming Álvaro Morata. As for Zachary, he replaced Roberto Pereyra, thus becoming the only attacking central midfielder for Juventus during the final 17+ minutes.

After the substitutions, it was time for the game to continue. The referee's whistle sounded, and Atlético Madrid restarted the game by taking the throw in.

Juanfran Torres, the Atlético Madrid right-back, was the man called into action. He raced towards the touchline before planting his feet firmly on the ground and throwing the ball towards the middle.
