"Spalletti stated, 'These are games that are worth more than three points. Unfortunately, we weren't in the best shape coming into the match, because Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceicao both had fitness problems.'"
"'Atalanta were far more tuned into the tempo of the game early on, more precise in their movements from right to left, and we didn't find passing channels,' Spalletti remarked."
"'In the second half, we won the ball back a few times and could've done more damage on the counter-attack, but misplaced the vertical pass,' he added."
"'Considering the players who were struggling, I am pleased they put the effort in and tried to work for the team,' Spalletti concluded."
Juventus defeated Atalanta 1-0, with Jeremie Boga scoring the only goal. Despite being outperformed in terms of shots and expected goals, Juventus secured the win. Luciano Spalletti expressed satisfaction with the result, noting the team's fitness struggles. He acknowledged Atalanta's strong start and the difficulties Juventus faced in maintaining possession. The victory marked Juventus' sixth consecutive unbeaten match in Serie A, with four wins and two draws, all while keeping clean sheets in their last five league games.
