Polokwane City Overview

Luciano Spalletti was left infuriated after Juventus dropped points against Rennes in the Europa League, using Lionel Messi as the ultimate example of what his squad is currently lacking. The Bianconeri boss pointed to a lack of individual mental sharpness as the primary hurdle preventing his side from reaching the next level of European competition.

Juventus forward Nick Woltemade proved instrumental in salvaging a 2-2 Europa League draw against Stade Rennais, providing an assist before scoring from the penalty spot. The German striker called on his team-mates to maintain their positive energy following a demanding week.
