Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti commented on the team's first defeat in the 2026/27 season. In the match of the 4th round of Serie A, the Turin team lost to Sassuolo with a score of 2:3, conceding the biggest goal in the injury time.

The Juventus coach appreciates that his team has little ability to win, but the player lost the necessary balance while trying to score the third goal.

“It’s more painful, because the team could have won, in principle, and deserved to turn the tide of the game, but we had clearly lost balance, and it was not to blame. When all the Gravians went forward to attack, great explosions occurred behind them. If we had little chance of winning with a 3:2 draw, the Gravians believed we could win, and I will be the one who encouraged them to go forward and win.

Perhaps they took my words too literally, and everyone immediately joined in before the attack. We are obliged to have a positive outlook and to overcome the problem at any cost, and I respect that they created the situation in order to turn the tide and get all three points. Ale kintsivka we carried out unbalanced. Those who have deprived us of such free zones are, without a doubt, our fault;.

The match against Sassuolo was especially dramatic at the end: five goals were scored after the 80s. Juventus matched the score for two days, but in an additional hour, missed the match and lost without a point.

This misfortune became the first for the Turin team in the Italian championship. After four tours, Juventus gained this point.
