Juventus dropped their first points of the season after a 1-1 draw with Milan at the Allianz Stadium in the third round of Serie A, as reported by GOAL. Federico Gatti's header deep into stoppage time salvaged a share of the spoils after substitute Alphadjo Cissé had given Milan a 69th-minute lead, leaving Spalletti's side fourth in the table on seven points after three games.

The result underlines a broader tension at the club between genuine promise and clear limitations. Spalletti arrived having already shaped much of the squad, and GOAL's pre-match analysis noted that 12 of the 15 players used in last year's corresponding fixture will play no part this season, reflecting the scale of the rebuild. The squad is deeper in some areas but stretched in others. Thuram, Yildiz, Cambiaso, McKennie, Sarr and Cabal all missed the Milan game through injury, according to GOAL's team news coverage, while Arek Milik has been cut from both the Serie A and Europa League squads entirely, as GOAL confirmed.

New arrivals Woltemade and Sarr were late additions from the transfer window and both are still working towards full fitness. Woltemade came off the bench against Milan and showed glimpses of his potential. Spalletti publicly backed Kolo Muani after a quiet night up front, telling DAZN he remains fully committed to the striker. Next up is a trip to Sassuolo on 13 September.
