Even the Turin captain Bonucci was entitled to reprimands. Stephanie Frappart, the first woman to referee a Champions League game on Wednesday, did not have the trembling whistle to lead a fairly decent game between Juventus and Dynamo Kiev.

After ten minutes of play, the first foul whistled was accompanied by a first yellow card, addressed to Uruguayan midfielder Juventus Rodrigo Bentancur for a late tackle on Ukrainian No.10 Mykola Shaparenko. And everyone understood that this premiere evening would not be that of gifts.
