Juventus continued their strong start to the Serie A season with a 2-0 home victory against Parma on August 29, securing back-to-back wins to open the campaign. The match took place at the Allianz Stadium just days before the transfer deadline, with particular attention on how the squad would perform without key playmaker Kenan Yildiz, who is sidelined until November following surgery.
Goals from Nico González and Teun Koopmeiners provided the decisive margin, with both strikers delivering when called upon despite not being primary attacking options heading into the fixture. The contributions from these unexpected sources proved crucial for manager Luciano Spalletti as he continues integrating new signings into his tactical system during the early weeks of the season.
The absence of Yildiz has forced Juventus to rely on depth in their attacking ranks, and the weekend performance suggested the squad has sufficient quality to compensate during his recovery period. With the transfer window closing, Spalletti will look to maintain this momentum while his team adapts to its evolving roster composition.
