Juventus prepares for Atalanta after strong Europa League opener
Summary

Juventus achieved a 5-0 victory over N.E.C. Nijmegen in their Europa League opener on September 17, 2026. Manager Luciano Spalletti changed the team's formation to a 3-4-2-1 setup, a departure from the previous four-man backline. The win provided a much-needed boost following a disappointing weekend against Atalanta. As Juventus prepares to face Atalanta again, questions arise about whether Spalletti will stick with the winning formation and which players will return to the lineup.
