Dusan Vlahovic channels Ronaldo with stunning Juventus free-kick vs Roma

Dusan Vlahovic is flying at Juventus right now.

Having signed for big money in January amidst interest from every European club and their dog, the lethal Serbian striker has picked up from where he left off at Fiorentina with an eagle-like eye for goal.

The 22-year-old notched nine goals across his first half-season with the Old Lady and has started his sophomore year in even more ruthless form, racked up two goals in as many games.

However, while fans have become very familiar with the sight of Vlahovic nipping in with poacher’s finishes and ruthless one-on-strikes, they are perhaps less aware of his brilliance from free-kicks.

Vlahovic might only have scored two direct free-kicks in his club career coming into this weekend, but make no mistake that he’s still got an eye for an absolute pearler.

And that couldn’t have been more apparent than in one of the standout Serie A fixtures of the early weeks of the season as AS Roma made the trip to the Allianz Stadium on Saturday.

In fact, Jose Mourinho’s men actually found themselves sat above the Turin side going into the game having won their opening two matches on the back of a superb summer transfer window.

But Vlahovic was keen to pour cold water on their excitement and hype within the opening two minutes of the game courtesy of – you guessed it – a stunning free-kick.

We’d even dare to say that Vlahovic converted it in exactly the sort of style that Cristiano Ronaldo so often tried and failed to do across three seasons in the very same black and white stripes.
