Douglas Luiz expressed satisfaction with Juventus' 2-0 win over Lecce, but noted that the team must improve and play better for the full 90 minutes, as they 'slept a bit in the second' half. Luiz scored his first competitive goal for Juventus and provided an assist in the game. The win was significant as it came after a 3-0 loss to Lazio. Juventus faced increased pressure in the second half after Lecce made a tactical change.

Luiz's performance was notable as it was his first goal for Juventus since joining from Aston Villa in the summer of 2024 for €50m, and the first time he scored and assisted in a league game. He expressed contentment with playing in his position and acknowledged the importance of the three points earned away from home.

Despite the win, Luiz indicated that Juventus can do better, highlighting the need for consistent performance throughout the game. The match saw Juventus take a two-goal lead by halftime, but Lecce increased the pressure after a tactical adjustment by their coach Eusebio Di Francesco at the interval.
