With goals from Vlahovic, Gatti, and Yildiz, Juventus defeated Udinese 3-1 in the 9th round of the 2025/26 Serie A season, ending their recent winless streak.

Vlahovic was brought down by an opposing player three minutes into the game, resulting in a penalty for Juventus. Vlahovic converted the penalty, giving Juventus a 1-0 lead. In first-half stoppage time, Nicolo Zaniolo scored for Udinese, leveling the score at 1-1.

It is worth mentioning that Juventus sacked Igor Tudor after losing 0-1 to Lazio in the last round of Serie A away game.
Striker Vlahovic, who helped Juventus secure the victory, said, "We've had three managers in a year and a half. We need to reflect and see where we went wrong. I don't think it's right to put all the blame on one person; everyone in the team needs to take responsibility."
“We needed to send a signal, and we did. But if we can’t maintain this performance in the next game, then this victory will be meaningless. We must do more and talk less. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Igor Tudor for everything he has done for the team and for what he represents for Juventus. I wish him all the best.”
So far this season, Vlahovic has contributed 3 goals for Juventus in Serie A and 2 goals in the Champions League. When asked about his future at Juventus, the 25-year-old Vlahovic said, "I don't know what the future holds. Never say no, but I really don't know."
“Right now, I’m focused on the present. There’s no point in talking about contracts in this situation. We need to do more and talk less, and get back to our best form and win. That’s what I’m focused on right now.”
Vlahovic added, "The past few days have been tough, but we've remained focused. After the Lazio game, we started thinking about what we needed to do in the next game. We're happy with this victory, but we must keep it up."
