Kolo Muani on ‘dream Juventus start’ and Di Gregorio ambition | OneFootball

Randal Kolo Muani admits it has been a ‘dream’ start at Juventus with five goals in three games, as Michele Di Gregorio believes they will ‘keep getting stronger’ after the 2-1 win at Como.

The Bianconeri had not celebrated two consecutive Serie A victories since November 2024, so this was quite the achievement after last week’s 4-1 result against 10-man Empoli.

Kolo Muani is the first player since Roberto Baggio in 1990-91 to score in each of his first three Serie A appearances for Juventus.

“It’s very important to play to win, now we get three points today in a difficult match, we are very happy and can prepare for the next game,” Kolo Muani told Sky Sport Italia.

“It’s a dream for me, I am very happy to be here with my new teammates. I am just happy to be at Juve.”

Juventus thank Kolo Muani again

Kolo Muani opened the scoring against the run of play with a solo effort, which was cancelled out by the Assane Diao header on a poorly-cleared corner on the stroke of half-time.

When Jean Butez misjudged the punch to catch Federico Gatti’s head instead of the ball, Kolo Muani again kept his cool to convert the 89th-minute penalty.

Di Gregorio had to make several big saves to keep Juventus in the game, especially on Nico Paz.

“It is a difficult place to play, Como play good football and cause you problems when they have possession,” the goalkeeper told Sky Sport Italia.

“It was important to win, we fought to the end and really wanted these points.”

While Kolo Muani has made a huge impact, Renato Veiga also started his second match and Lloyd Kelly came on at half-time for his Serie A debut.

“I believe that like Randal, the other new players settled in straight away. We are creating something good here and it is going to just keep getting stronger.”
