Lucumi’s Late Strike Denied as Juventus and Rennes Share the Points

À ne pas manquer Score Futmetrix: 100/100. A last-minute VAR intervention turned a potential Juventus winner into a draw that ended the hosts’ perfect start.

Opening Act

Juventus needed only five minutes to make the Allianz Stadium roar: Zeki Çelik finished after Nick Woltemade supplied the assist, and the hosts looked set for a routine night. But Rennes refused the script. Mousa Al-Tamari struck back on 15 minutes, meeting Bryan Reynolds’s delivery to punish a Juventus side that had barely settled. The opening quarter-hour became an open exchange rather than a one-way showcase. Juventus edged possession at 54%, yet Rennes made its 16-14 advantage in shots count as a warning: the visitors were direct and willing to attack space. Woltemade’s early contribution was more than a pass; he later supplied the finishing touch that kept Juventus in it. A high Intensity was evident before the match had found its shape.

The Pivot

The decisive swing came from the penalty spot. Rennes moved in front when Boulaye Dia converted in the 43rd minute, turning an open first half into a chase for Juventus. The home side answered after the break: Nick Woltemade took the 67th-minute penalty and made it 2-2, completing a goal-and-assist contribution. From there, neither team could turn pressure into a winner. Juventus created four big chances and Rennes two, but the scoreline still rested on one final episode. In the 90th minute, Jhon Lucumi’s goal was cancelled after a VAR intervention. That was the hinge: the decision erased a potential Juventus winner and kept the contest level. The Balance held until the final call, with two penalties and a late intervention deciding the shape of the result.

Resolution

Juventus came into the third league-stage round with six points from two wins; this draw takes them to seven and ends their perfect start. Rennes arrived on four and leave with five, a useful return from a demanding away trip. The table is still taking shape, so this is a warning shot rather than a verdict on either campaign. Juventus edged possession at 54% and fashioned four big chances, yet Rennes stayed dangerous enough to keep the home defence working. Across the match, 30 combined attempts and 12 corners maintained the pressure, but only nine shots found the target. Juventus’s 2.25 expected goals against Rennes’s 1.71 confirms the hosts had the stronger chance profile, not the final word. The Stakes are clear: Juventus have dropped their first points, while Rennes have made their mark in a demanding European away fixture.

Les ambitions européennes s'entrechoquent à Turin

À ne pas manquer Score Futmetrix: 89/100. La Juventus veut consolider sa place au sommet, tandis que Rennes se bat pour franchir la ligne cruciale des huit premières places qualificatives.

La mise en place

Le décor est planté le 22 octobre 2026, alors que la Juventus accueille Rennes à l'Allianz Stadium. En tête du classement de l'UEFA Europa League avec un parcours sans faute, les géants italiens affichent une note de Forme féroce qui annonce la couleur. Pour les visiteurs, actuellement 13èmes, la motivation est claire : dépasser la ligne des barrages pour atteindre le top huit. Bien qu'une dynamique d'Enjeu modeste suggère un début de match tactique, la puissance de feu incroyable des locaux et leur note élevée de Vedettes laissent présager des étincelles une fois que le match s'ouvrira.

Duel clé

Le match pourrait bien se décider par un duel à distance entre deux attaquants en grande forme. Edon Zhegrova terrorise les défenses pour les hôtes, et il fait face à un duel d'influence fascinant contre le talisman des visiteurs, Esteban Lepaul. Si Zhegrova trouve régulièrement de l'espace sur l'aile, Rennes aura du mal à maintenir son organisation défensive et l'Équilibre global de la rencontre penchera lourdement en faveur des locaux.

Notre pronostic

Nous attendons une victoire de la Juventus. Les hôtes devraient contrôler la possession du ballon dès le coup d'envoi, étirant méthodiquement la ligne défensive adverse jusqu'à ce que des espaces apparaissent pour leurs attaquants d'élite, dominant ainsi un bloc français résilient.
