Luciano Spalletti expressed confusion over a disallowed late winner in Juventus' 2-2 Europa League draw with Rennes, citing uncertainty about the offside rule. The goal was ruled out due to Jhon Lucumí being offside during a flick-on by Teun Koopmeiners. Spalletti spoke to reporters via TuttoMercatoWeb.

Spalletti also commented on the performance of Nick Woltemade and Randal Kolo Muani, who started together for the first time in a competitive match. He noted that while they did well, he expects more from them due to their individual qualities. Kolo Muani was replaced 10 minutes from time.

The coach was satisfied with Juventus' attitude after overcoming a difficult situation following Sunday's 3-0 defeat to Lazio. He praised Rennes as a strong team and emphasized the need for Juventus to be braver and take control in matches.
