There’s no place like home for Tim Weah and Weston McKennie.
The American duo starred for Juventus in their preseason match against Real Madrid on Wednesday, combining for the Italian giants’ second goal in the 20th minute.
McKennie delivered a beautiful cross to Weah, who scored with an easy tap-in to make it 2-0 for Juventus.
The move was started by Federico Chiesa, who found McKennie as he made his run inside the box.
Juve's first goal was even better than that as they opened the scoring with a slick passing move that caught Real Madrid off guard.
Moise Kean scored an easy tap-in after his teammate's shot hit the post.
McKennie, Weah reunite at Juve
McKennie returned to Juventus after going on loan to Premier League side Leeds last January.
Weah, on the other hand, just signed a five-year contract with Juventus last month after the Italian giants paid Lille an initial base fee of €10.3 million, per The Guardian.
Juve banned from European football
They won't be playing European football next season, though, as UEFA decided to remove Juventus from competition.
The Serie A club has been accused of false accounting, which allegedly increased the team's capital by 700 million euros.
Their place in the Europa Conference League should go to Fiorentina in the playoffs round starting on August 24, per the Associated Press.
