Juventus beat Atalanta 2-0 with goals from Chico Conceição with Bremer adding the second. While he didn’t score, Randal Kolo Muani produced the performance Spalletti has been waiting for since the start of the season. His goal-line clearance on what would have been Atalanta’s 1-0 was the moment that defined the match. The Frenchman spoke to DAZN at the final whistle with the relaxed warmth of a player who, for the first time this season, looked entirely at home.

“We’re Happy — We Gave Everything Together”

“Yes, we are happy, we gave everything today — we gave everything on the pitch together. I’m happy with the performance.”

“Spalletti’s Wagon? I Know I Have to Score”

On the famous wagon declaration that has followed him all season: “I know that I have to score, I have to find the net. Sometimes they come and sometimes they don’t — but I am happy if the team wins.”

“The Clearance? It’s Mentality — We’re Like Brothers”

On the goal-line intervention that kept Juventus level in a moment that could have changed everything: “Yes — it is a question of mentality. On the pitch we are like brothers.”
