Juventus hammer Njimigen 5-0 as keeper suffers Europa League nightmare

The Europa League is back with a fresh format, featuring two major Italian teams, Juventus (Juve) and Milan. This year's competition boasts a total of 15 European trophies between the Italian duo, who are placed in Pot 1 and will start their campaigns at home. Milan's return to Europe comes 575 days after their last appearance, when they were eliminated in the Champions League playoffs by Feyenoord.

The Rossoneri will be looking to rebuild with new stars and coach Ruben Amorim, who aims to integrate young players and develop his footballing ideas. Juve, on the other hand, is eager to secure a European trophy after a long wait since 1996, as well as gain Champions League qualification and restore confidence within the team. Both teams see the Europa League as a crucial platform to test their attacking mechanisms and exploit open spaces, which aligns with Amorim's playing style and Spalletti's vision for his team.
