Luciano Spalletti said that Juventus players need to look at themselves after Gleison Bremer criticised his teammates for not showing enough character in Sunday's 3-0 Serie A defeat against Lazio, but says that he will be doing the same of himself: 'I need to ask myself questions and find the answers'.
The tension is palpable in Juventus circles following Sunday's 3-0 defeat at home against Lazio, which has left the Bianconeri eight points off the league leaders after just seven matches. They are currently worse off in terms of points than they were at the same stage of the 2025-26 season, just before Igor Tudor was dismissed from his position as head coach.

It was a miserable evening for Juventus supporters, some of whom turned on each other and began fighting in the stands. They were heavily criticised in Monday morning's newspapers and defender Bremer also chastised his teammates, claiming 'I can't carry everyone'.
"It is true, the coach gives indications, but we are the ones who need to put it into action on the field," said the Juventus defender after full-time on Sunday.

The Men's First Team are back in UEFA Europa League action, this time taking on French side Rennes on Matchday 3 of the League Phase.
The Bianconeri have performed well in the Europa League so far, beating NEC 5-0 and Celta Vigo 2-1. Luciano Spalletti's side will now hope to add another three points to their tally.
Rennes have also made a positive start, drawing 0-0 with Sturm Graz before beating OFI 2-1 on Matchday 2. Ahead of Thursday night's action, let's take a look at the last time Juventus beat Rennes.

Lazio stunned Juventus with a 3-0 victory at the Allianz Stadium yesterday, exposing the work still required for the Bianconeri to find consistency. The defeat was a major setback for Juventus, who had hoped to build on their late victory against Celta Vigo and deliver another strong performance in front of their home supporters.
Juventus were expected to be the stronger side after their European success, but they struggled to maintain their momentum. Without Luciano Spalletti on the touchline to direct the team, the Bianconeri found it difficult to control the contest and prevent Lazio from taking advantage of their opportunities.
Unlike in some of their recent matches, Juventus began with plenty of energy and intent. However, Lazio matched their intensity, making the opening stages an open and frantic contest in which both teams looked capable of creating danger.
Randal Kolo Muani appeared to have given Juventus the lead when he found the net, but his effort was ruled out for offside. Lazio then took their opportunity through Oliver Provstgaard, whose goal stood and put the visitors ahead.
Juventus gradually lost their momentum as the first half progressed, allowing Lazio to take greater control of the match. The home side struggled to regain the initiative, leaving them with plenty to address at the interval as they searched for a way back into the contest.

Luciano Spalletti is a man under pressure at Juventus and calls for Antonio Conte to return as head coach are getting louder and louder following Sunday evening's 3-0 defeat at home against Lazio in Serie A.
Juventus have picked up just 11 points from their first seven matches of the 2026-27 season. They are currently one point worse off than they were at the same stage of the 2025-26 season, which led to the departure of Igor Tudor from his position as head coach after the eighth league match just shy of one year ago.

The atmosphere was sour inside the Allianz Stadium after full-time and supporters have also grown concerned by the reaction of the coach and players in their post-match media duties, centre-back Bremer claiming that he 'can't carry everyone'.
Many supporters online have been calling for Spalletti to go and for him to be replaced by former Juventus boss Antonio Conte. This has also been suggested in several newspapers and online outlets, including La Repubblica and Calciomercato.com.

After his team's first loss of the 2026-27 season last month, Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti received a fair bit of heat for how the Bianconeri totally lost its balance against Sassuolo. After their second loss of the season, Sunday's 3-0 defeat at the hand of surprise package Lazio at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, the heat has seemingly been turned up to a degree in which Spalletti hasn't seen since the final weeks of the 2025-26 campaign when Champions League qualification was slipping away.
And it sounds like, in some ways, Spalletti could see a little bit of the writing on the wall.
Amongst the many critiques that Spalletti — who was suspended for Sunday's loss as a result of his red card last weekend against Cagliari — had of his team's performance during his post-game media responsibilities, It was an answer to his current relationship with the team that raised plenty of eyebrows. Spalletti responded to the question "Until yesterday, I thought I could say yes, then today I probably don't know …" — something that will surely fuel speculation about just how much longer he might have on the Juventus sideline if his team continues to play the way they did against Lazio on Sunday night.
The quote, via multiple outlets, in English is as follows:
"If instead of improving we get worse, I have to do in-depth ****** ysis, especially on myself. Does the team still follow me? Until yesterday, I thought I could say yes, then today I probably don't know. I have a good relationship with them, I always want to share, that's how I am."

Alexander Skarsgård is letting his footwear do the talking.
The "Wicker" star attended the Oct. 8 London screening of his upcoming film in a shiny head-to-toe ensemble.
Skarsgård, who is never afraid to take fashion risks, looked like the epitome of the Hollywood golden boy in a gold metallic Saint Laurent suit, styling the jacket without a shirt, and topping it off with the brand's lucite elongated-toe derby shoes, which showed off the star's full feet. The actor stood out from his "Wicker" co-stars Peter ******* lage, Elizabeth Debicki and Olivia Colman, who chose simple all-black looks.
The viral shoes: YSL's latest in men's footwear may get a bit sweaty. Take a look
In June, the controversial clear shoes had the internet up in arms when they first debuted on the runway of the Saint Laurent's spring/summer 2027 menswear show. At the time, many took to social media to express their concerns with the amount of sweat the shoes might hold.

Photographs of Harry and Meghan walking into a Cotswolds pub on Thursday, published in The Sun on Saturday, have raised suspicions that the Sussexes may have quietly co-operated with the anonymous photographer who snapped them.
The first tingle to the collective "spidey sense" of royal watchers came from how pin-sharp they are—rather like the pictures of Thomas Markle getting measured for his wedding suit—which is always a bit of a giveaway.
Also, British photographers don't wait outside random pubs on the off chance that Harry and Meghan might show up. And, given you are not allowed in the U.K. to publish photos sourced by following the subject, one has to wonder how a professional photographer just happened to be parked up outside the Falkland Arms pub in Great Tew on Thursday, in the perfect position to grab photos that look like a typical U.S.-style tabloid set-up.
Also, the pictures tell exactly the story the Sussexes want. There has been a lot of speculation about their marriage, and whether it's really as strong as it's made out to be, and here they are, hand in hand, going for a romantic, midweek pub lunch.
Plus, this is all studiously English. The Sussexes, you may recall, told us at some length that England's iconic institution, its monarchy, was a ghastly, corrupt, racist outfit that would be quite happy to see them dead. Now, they want to make it clear that they love England after all, and how better to do that than by shunning the fancy elite restaurants in London in favor of an ancient British pub (named after Lucius Cary, second Viscount Falkland, who died at the battle of Newbury in 1643), where a humble dish of fish and chips costs £20 ($26).

In a sea of black, Matt Damon's wife, Luciana Barroso, boldly stood out from the crowd in a red hot pantsuit as she attended the LA premiere of the new movie, Animals.
Luciana, a partner in Artists Equity, the independent, artist-led production studio co-founded by Matt and Ben Affleck in November 2022, was joined by her husband and Ben on the red carpet, with the mom-of-four giggling away as she posed between the best friends.
The producer paired the vibrant red Gabriela Hearst suit – which featured high rise pleated pants and a matching blazer with large lapels – with a chic cream camisole.
She wore her hair loose around her shoulders, and let her natural beauty shine through with minimal makeup, and accessorized with simple pearl drop earrings.
Luciana is known for her timeless red carpet fashion.

WASHINGTON, Sept 16 (Reuters) - U.S. retail sales rebounded sharply in August as households boosted purchases of a range of goods while also spending more at restaurants and bars, reinforcing the economy's resilience even as consumers grow more anxious about high inflation.
The stronger-than-expected report from the Commerce Department on Wednesday prompted economists to upgrade their gross domestic product growth estimates for the third quarter. Inflation jitters were underscored by news of a surge in import prices last month amid strong increases in the costs of capital and consumer goods.
The reports followed data this month showing producer and consumer prices accelerated in August, while the labor market regained its poise after wobbling through much of summer.
The Federal Reserve on Wednesday raised its benchmark overnight interest rate by a quarter of a percentage point to the 3.75%-4.00% range and flagged further increases in borrowing costs in the months ahead.

Swarmer, Inc.'s (Nasdaq: SWMR) pending acquisition ofUkrainian unmanned-ground-vehicle maker Ratel Robotics could lead to $200 million in 2027 revenue and $20 million in adjusted EBITDA, according to a research note by Lucid Capital Markets.
Swarmer, which boasts Blackwater founder and industry veteran Erik Prince as its non-executive chairman, is in a definitive agreement to buy Ratel for up to $224 million and it has $86 million in secured contracts and about 37% share of Ukrainian government UGV procurement spending, the note said.
The deal comes as Ukraine's drone industry is beginning a consolidation phase, with more than 500 credible drone companies operating in the country while being home to some of the world's advanced battlefield drone technology, it said.
Swarmer could potentially consolidate Ukraine's fragmented drone industry into a full-stack drones, autonomy software and ground-vehicle platform, the note said.

The stronger-than-expected report from the Commerce Department on Wednesday prompted economists to upgrade their gross domestic product growth estimates for the third quarter.

The reports followed data this month showing producer and consumer prices accelerated in August, while the labor market regained its poise after wobbling through much of summer.
"This reaffirms that the economy is more than capable of handling higher interest rates, providing the Fed plenty of scope to hike to get inflation under control," said Bradley Saunders, North America economist at Capital Economics.

After their late loss to Sassuolo last night, it is becoming increasingly difficult to see Juventus finishing inside the top four at the end of this season, according to pundit Roberto Pavanello.
The Bianconeri have been one of the top teams in the world for several decades and have done well to maintain that status, but since they last won the league ******* le in 2020, they have been far from achieving that feat again.
One thing Juventus have consistently managed to do is secure Champions League football, but last season they failed to achieve that. Many believed their failure was linked to the quality of their squad and the fact that Luciano Spalletti did not start the season as their manager.
He has now been given a new deal for another season and was their coach during pre-season, yet Juventus cannot beat Sassuolo in their fourth league game of the season.
It is certainly too early for the team to be struggling as much as it is at the moment, but their poor start has already created doubts about what they can achieve this season.

When we moved to our former house in the Tradition neighborhood of Port St. Lucie, Fla., we had two Starbucks, two Dunkin's, and two local coffeehouses within a few miles of our house. A few years later, when we moved away, we still had two Starbucks, but the local, independent chains had both closed.
In their place, we added 7 Brew, Cali Coffee, Carmela (a regional chain), Vicky Bakery (a popular Cuban cafe chain), another Dunkin', and a new independent coffee place.
It's a staggering amount of competition in a fast-growing section of the city that's only a few square miles. All of those added competitors come at a time when the overall market has been growing, but seems to have hit a wall.
"The Coffee and Snack Shops industry has experienced a wave of growth, emerging as a standout performer in the food service sector. It boasts an annualized growth rate of 2.5%, shooting revenues up to $75.5 billion over the five years to 2026," according to IBISWorld's Coffee & Snack Shops in the US Industry Data and ***** ysis.
Nationally, Americans also have more places to get their daily cup.

WASHINGTON, Sept 11 (Reuters) - U.S. consumer prices accelerated in August, while a key measure of underlying inflation posted its largest increase in four months, reinforcing expectations that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates next week.
The Labor Department's Consumer Price Index report on Friday followed strong readings in several components of the Producer Price Index released on Thursday that feed into the Personal Consumption Expenditures price indexes, the inflation measures the U.S. central bank tracks for its 2% target. The two reports led economists to think that PCE inflation excluding the volatile food and energy categories picked up in August.
Financial markets initially priced in a 91% chance of a quarter-point rate hike at the Fed's meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday, before settling back to 87%, CME's FedWatch tool showed. That was up from 72% on Thursday. The Fed's benchmark overnight interest rate is currently in a 3.50%-3.75% range.
Most economists said the firmer inflation readings, combined with signs of the labor market regaining its footing in August, would compel Fed officials to raise borrowing costs not only next Wednesday, but possibly again in October or December.

The Men's First Team are in Serie A action on the road on Sunday, 13 September, travelling to Emilia-Romagna to take on Sassuolo on Matchday 4.
Ahead of the game, coach Luciano Spalletti gave his traditional MD-1 press conference.
"We'll start by saying that we're sorry about what happened to [Manuel] Locatelli. His absence, though, spreads responsibility across everyone because he's always attentive to everything. This week I've seen a team that's very willing to fight against whatever it comes up against, a team that's trained very well.
"Because of the individual pressure players carry now, there's much more freedom on the pitch, so we've used different systems. Nothing changes without Locatelli in that sense. We can use any system because we have a squad that allows us to do that.
"[Weston] McKennie and [Andrea] Cambiaso are unlikely to be there tomorrow. Andrea will do a fitness test tomorrow morning. But [Pape Matar] Sarr will be available.

PORT ST. LUCIE – It was the proverbial what a difference a week makes, not only for Makai White but the entire Vero Beach High football team.
White nearly was perfect in his first full week as the Vero Beach starting quarterback, and all three phases contributed in the scoring in a 56-0 whitewash of St. Lucie West Centennial High in a Class 6A-District 8 game Friday, Sept. 11 at South County Regional Park.
Coming off a 38-6 setback to nationally ranked St. Frances Academy of Baltimore, Vero Beach turned the tides on the Eagles in the district opener for both teams.
Vero Beach exploded for 35 points in the first quarter and 49 in the first half.

Pumas got their first home win of the Apertura 2026 after beating Leon by a 3-1 score. Pumas played a solid match and were able to recover after giving up the tying goal to get a solid three points and climb into the Liguilla zone with the victory. Leon battled hard but it wasn't enough. They will return home to host Atletico San Luis on Monday while Pumas will have a tough away match on Sunday when they visit Guadalajara to face off against Chivas.
The 1st half started with Pumas coming out with their usual starting 11 and without Cesar Huerta, who was expected to make his return to Pumas but was rule out because of an injury. Off a counter, Jordi Cortizo got off a left footed shot that would go just wide. Ismael Diaz got off a right footed shot from outside the area that went just wide. A left footed shot in the area from Cristian Calderon would go wide. Off a counter, Luciano Herrera would get off a left footed shot from outside the area that would be saved by Leon's goalkeeper, Oscar Garcia. Cristian Calderon had hurt himself when he got off his left footed shot and had to be subbed out because of that injury. Angel Azuaje was subbed in his place. In the middle of the half, an incredible rain storm started to fall which would probably have a big impact in the match. A cross into the area found Diaz, who whiffed on his close range shot and wasted a great opportunity. A great thru pass found Uriel Antuna but the ball was cleared off his feet by Leon's defense. After a cross into the area was bouncing in the area, Antuna would get off a right footed shot that went wide. From outside the area, Ivan Moreno got off a great right footed shot that forced a wonderful save from Pumas' goalkeeper, Keylor Navas. A great cross into the area by Rodrigo Lopez was beautifully headed by Juninho past Garcia to give Pumas the 1-0 lead. It was a deserved goal as Pumas had been the better team after a slow start. A cross into the area was headed from close range by Diaz but Navas made a good save. The halftime whistle blew and after a good first 45 minutes, Pumas took the deserved lead to their dressing room.
The 2nd half started with Leon subbing out Juan Pablo Dominguez for Diber Cambindo. A cross into the area was headed wide by Herrera. A cross into the area would get to a wide open Jose Alvarado, who got off a great half bicycle kick past Navas to score and tie the match at 1-1. It was a bad mistake by Pumas' defense in leaving Alvarado wide open but he made a great goal with the opportunity. Diaz got off a right footed shot in the area that went wide. Off a counter, the ball would eventually reach Herrera, whose right footed shot went wide. Leon subbed out Ivan Rodriguez for Rodrigo Echeverria. A lob into the area found a wide open Juninho but his right footed volley went wide in a terrible miss. Pumas subbed out Uriel Antuna for Alan Medina. Off a good run, the pass into the area found Cambindo, whose left footed shot went past Navas but hit the post. A

Pierce Brosnan thinks the Lucifer star Tom Ellis could be the next James Bond. Ellis revealed what the former 007 star told him about potentially taking up the role of James Bond.
James Bond casting could have another contender, as Pierce Brosnan reportedly believes Ellis has what it takes to play the role. While talking about his upcoming drama CIA, Ellis told Metro U.K., "When I got the script, the character of Colin was this enigmatic tinderbox of many things that he has to sit on. The more research I did about the CIA, the more interested I was in playing him."
Ellis said his research for the role left him fascinated by the CIA and its work.
Ellis plays Pierce Brosnan's son in The Thursday Murder Club. When asked whether Brosnan gave him any advice for his new spy role, he said, "No, he didn't. But he did tell me he thought I'd make a good Bond, and I was like, 'Pierce, I think I'm probably too old now. But I'll take it from you, mate. I'll take it from you.'"
Tom Ellis is not currently among the actors widely rumored to play James Bond. His run as Lucifer Morningstar ended five years ago.

Davide Frattesi has long wanted to play for Juventus, and the midfielder was keen to join the Bianconeri during the last transfer window. He was reportedly willing to wait for the club to make a formal approach, hoping the move to the Allianz Stadium would eventually materialise.
Frattesi had previously rejected Juventus when he was playing for Sassuolo, but he was ready to make amends and believed the opportunity to join the Turin giants was one worth pursuing. Luciano Spalletti had also become one of the best managers he had worked with, adding another important factor to the situation.
Juventus had made enquiries about Frattesi and appeared interested in bringing him to the club. The midfielder was prepared to wait for them to make their move, while Inter Milan were also open to allowing him to leave during that transfer window.
However, the Bianconeri ultimately failed to follow up on their initial interest with a formal attempt to complete the transfer. Despite Frattesi's willingness to wait for Juventus, the club did not push the situation forward, and the opportunity eventually disappeared.
Instead, Frattesi moved to Lazio, where he has enjoyed an impressive start to the season. The midfielder has quickly established himself as an important player for the Eagles and has been in outstanding scoring form.

Brazil was far superior to Ecuador, but the match ended 0-0Credits: Diana Carrillo / Staff Images / CBF
Brazil's U-15 Men's National Team drew 0-0 with Ecuador in the second round of the 2026 CONMEBOL Liga Evolución, on Thursday morning (10), at Parque Guasu, in Luque, Paraguay. The result kept Brazil at the top of the North Zone group. In the other match in this group, Venezuela and Colombia drew 1-1.
Brazil was the better side, created scoring chances, gave the opposition almost no room to attack, but struggled against Ecuador's tight marking. In the first half, they had two good chances from free kicks, both saved by the opposing goalkeeper.
In the second half, the Canarinho improved and pinned Ecuador back in its own half, creating a string of chances. In the 37th minute, Isaac won a penalty as he broke free into the box. Kelwin took the spot kick, but it was saved by Ecuador's goalkeeper, the standout player of the match.
Brazil's next match will be on Saturday (12), against Venezuela, at 8:40 a.m. (Brasília time)

WASHINGTON, Sept 10 (Reuters) - U.S. producer prices increased in August amid higher costs of goods, airline fares and hospital services, boosting the chances of an interest rate hike from the Federal Reserve next week.
The report from the Labor Department on Thursday followed news last week of a sharp acceleration in job growth in August. Airline fares and hospital services are among the components that go into the calculation of the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Indexes, the inflation measures tracked by the U.S. central bank for its 2% inflation target.
August's Consumer Price Index data on Friday could shed more light on the inflation picture and further shape interest rate expectations for next week.
"This report points to cost increases in the pipeline and will support the case of those on the Committee who want to hike rates now," said Carl Weinberg, chief economist at High Frequency Economics.

Kauã Lucas scored the winning goal in the Brazil U-15 Men's National Team's 1-0 victory over Colombia in their openerCredits: Diana Carrillo / Staff Images / CBF
The Brazil U-15 Men's National Team opened its CONMEBOL Liga Evolución 2026 campaign with a 1-0 win over Colombia on Tuesday morning (8) at Parque Guasu in Luque, Paraguay. Kauã Lucas scored the goal that earned the young Seleção all three points in the 29th minute of the first half.
After a long clearance for the Brazilian defense, Valmir headed the ball back toward the young Seleção's attack and found Samuell, who passed to Kauã Lucas. Wearing the No. 11 shirt, he controlled the play with his head, already getting past the Colombian defender. He then burst forward at speed until he was one-on-one with the opposing goalkeeper and finished into the corner to seal the final score.
The result put Brazil at the top of the North Zone group. In the other match in the group, Venezuela and Peru drew 4-4.

Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:LCID) is recalling 27,185 of its Air luxury sedans in the U.S. because an exterior lighting circuit could overheat and raise the risk of fire, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on August 28.
NHTSA told owners to park outside and away from structures until a fix is deployed and warned the overheating circuit could also knock out exterior lighting, raising crash risk too. Lucid already released a free over-the-air software update, and NHTSA said 20,719 of the affected vehicles had received it before the announcement.
The recall is Lucid's largest ever, covering more cars than it delivered in all of 2025, when it handed over 15,841 vehicles. It follows a May recall of 2,039 vehicles over lost drive power and a January recall of more than 10,000 vehicles over rearview camera problems.
Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:LCID)'s top line continues to grow despite its operational challenges, as second-quarter revenue jumped 56% year over year to about $405 million and 44% sequentially. The growth was helped by higher deliveries, a better product mix, a 3.7% increase in average selling price, and $25 million in additional regulatory credit sales. This growth gives Lucid a stronger revenue base as management works to improve the firm's basic economics.
New CEO Silvio Napoli has also introduced a specific turnaround plan with measurable targets. His operational reset plans to generate $1.4 billion in cash-flow improvements this year. It directly addresses problems such as premature product launches, inadequate service investment, and slow responses to quality issues. A more disciplined approach could help Lucid reduce execution problems and rebuild investor confidence.

Top seed Alexander Zverev has reached the quarter-finals of the US Open to become the only man to reach the last eight at all four Grand Slams this year.
The French Open winner advanced after a 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (7-3) win over Italy's Luciano Darderi on Monday evening.
Zverev opened his US Open campaign with back-to-back five-set wins, but has now claimed two consecutive straight set wins.
"I thought my level was very consistent," Zverev said in his on-court interview.
"He started playing incredibly well in the third set. I barely saw anyone hit the ball as hard as he did, consistently for an entire set, so credit to him. He made it very difficult for me, but I'm happy to be in the quarter-finals and happy to be playing this way."

It has not been smooth sailing for Alexander Zverev at the U.S. Open.
Zverev was down two sets to one against Italy's Lorenzo Sonego in the tournament's first round before producing a comeback win. The German star also went a full five sets against France's Quentis Halys in the second round before dominating Alejandro Tabilo in the third round.

Now Zverev faces Italy's Luciano Darderi in the Round of 16 on Monday, with the winner advancing to the U.S. Open quarterfinals.
While Zverev's girlfriend, Sophia Thomalla, isn't as active on social media as she used to be, she made several posts showing she was with Zverev in New York before the tournament began and is probably still there while he plays through the tournament.

Juventus had won their first two games of the season, but it would be entirely fair to say that they had come close to leaving those matches ruing missed opportunities. Each of them could've been put away long time before they were, and indeed one of the major talking points headed into Sunday's matchup against AC Milan was the fact that the Bianconeri had gotten the results without reaching the level of performance they desired. Milan were in the same boat, winning two straight under new manager Ruben Amorim but not convincing in either. It felt as though the team that managed to perform better would be the likelier to come out of the Allianz on top.
It was ultimately Juve that had the better of a game that was equal parts chaotic and sloppy. But once again they failed to take advantage of their performances. They failed to make the most of the chances they made over the game's first 70 minutes before Milan scored on — stop me if you've heard this one before — their first shot on target of the match. It took until the second minute of stoppage time for Juve to finally even things out, when Federico Gatti powered home a Teun Koopmeiners cross from six yards to earn the Old Lady a 1-1 draw.
The problems for Juventus were the same as we've talked about all season so far. The finishing wasn't nearly good enough, the passing was disjointed and often inaccurate, and overall creativity seemed to be lacking. But in spite of all of that, they can honestly say that they were the better of the two sides and deserved victory — even more so when you consider the fact that Milan's goal really should've been disallowed for a foul in the buildup that was never flagged by VAR. Considering they were missing seven players due to injury, several of whom were extremely important, it's far too early to start abandoning hope of a successful year—provided they make the improvements that their play so far suggest is possible.
Luciano Spalletti was missing Kenan Yildiz, Weston McKennie, Khéphren Thuram, Andrea Cambiaso, Jeff Ekhator, Juan Cabal, and Pape Matar Sarr. His 4-2-3-1 formation gave several players their first starts of the year. Guglielmo Vicario started behind the back four of Pierre Kalulu, Bremer, Jhon Lucumí, and Zeki Celik. Manuel Locatelli and Douglas Luiz started in the middle of the park, while Francisco Conceição joined Nico González and Kerim Alajbegovic behind Randal Kolo Muani in attack.
Amorim missed Matteo Gabbia due to an ankle injury, but returned a few players to the starting lineup who had been eased back into things after long World Cup runs. Mike Maignan started in goal, ahead of a 3-4-2-1 setup that was a slight tweak to Amorim's usual 3-4-3. Former Juve prospect Koni De Winter joined Strahinja Pavolovic and Mario Gila in defense. Big-money signing Diego Moreira got his first start of the season opposite Pervis Estupiñán at the wing-back spots, while Luka Modric and Yunis Musah manned the double pivot. Adrien Rabiot joined Alexis Saele
