• Chico Conceicao: ‘Juventus deserved win in Roma draw and I need to score more goals’

  Francisco Conceição scored a stunning volley to ignite a late Juventus rally from 3-1 down to draw 3-3 with Roma, though the winger insisted his side deserved even more. ​Francisco Conceição inspired a remarkable Juventus fightback at the Stadio Olimpico as the Bianconeri salvaged a 3-3 draw against Roma. Trailing 3-1 following goals from Wesley, Evan Ndicka, and Donyell Malen, Juventus struck through Conceição’s brilliant volley before snatching a point in stoppage time. Reflecting on the resilience shown, Conceição told DAZN, “if any team deserved to win it, then it was us.” ​The result leaves the Serie A top-four race wide open, with Juventus and Roma separated by just two points. Despite his spectacular contribution, the Portuguese winger remained critical of his own clinical edge as he aims for consistency. “In order to reach the next level, I certainly need to score more goals,” Conceição admitted. “I am the first to acknowledge that, I am working hard.”

• Fabregas took disciplinary action against Como talent Nico Paz

  Como manager Cesc Fabregas benched star talent Nico Paz for the match against Lecce as a disciplinary measure after the youngster arrived late for a scheduled team meal.

  ​Cesc Fabregas sent a firm message to his squad by dropping Nico Paz from the starting lineup against Lecce.

  The Real Madrid product, who was expected to return following a suspension, reportedly irritated the coach by turning up late to a pre-match team dinner.

  Fabregas initially remained tight-lipped about the benching, stating before kick-off, “it was simply a choice that I made.”

  ​Despite the disciplinary action, Paz was eventually introduced as a second-half substitute during Como’s 3-1 comeback victory.

  The decision to bench the Argentine was intended to reinforce discipline ahead of Tuesday’s crucial Coppa Italia semi-final against Inter Milan.

  By integrating him later in the game, Fabregas signaled that the youngster had been forgiven after receiving an initial warning regarding professional standards.

• Victor Osimhen explains muted celebration after scoring crucial UCL goal

  Victor Osimhen declined to celebrate his crucial Champions League goal against Juventus as a tribute to his former manager Luciano Spalletti and due to his dissatisfaction with Galatasaray’s performance.

  ​Victor Osimhen has revealed that his muted reaction to scoring against Juventus on Wednesday was a gesture of respect for Bianconeri coach Luciano Spalletti.

  Despite Juventus winning the second leg 3-2 after extra time, Osimhen’s strike helped Galatasaray advance 7-5 on aggregate.

  The Nigerian forward, who won a historic Serie A title under Spalletti at Napoli, opted for simple handshakes rather than his usual exuberant celebrations at the Allianz Stadium.

  ​“I think it’s important to respect a man I love and who has played an important role in my career — I’m obviously talking about Spalletti,” Osimhen explained to Prime Video.

  Beyond personal sentiment, the striker admitted he was frustrated by Galatasaray’s display after they surrendered a three-goal aggregate lead to ten-man Juventus.

  “We played very poorly… so there was no reason to celebrate,” he added, as the Turkish side now prepares for a Round of 16 clash.
