What happened. Jonathan David has scored in four consecutive matches for club and country, netting for Canada against Chile and for Atletico Madrid against Real Sociedad, Osasuna and Real Madrid. His run comes six weeks after Juventus decided to sell him, a decision driven by coach Luciano Spalletti's preference for an out-and-out number nine.

• David has only twice before scored in four straight games: at Genk in 2020 and Lille in 2022.
• Juventus shed one of their biggest salaries, level with Kenan Yildiz's post-renewal deal.
• Some Juventus fans fear a repeat of Douglas Luiz, who thrived after being written off.

David's form could make Juventus regret selling him, especially if he continues to score for Atletico Madrid.
