Juventus, Milan and Atalanta in action in European competition

A European cup night put Italian teams on show in two separate competitions. The first match kicked off at 17.45 UK time (18.45 Central European Summer Time). Juventus aimed to continue their flawless Europa League run against Stade Rennais.

At 20.00 UK time (21.00 CEST), Milan aimed to build momentum away at Bournemouth. In the Conference League, Atalanta were guests of Ajax.

Juventus were at times effective in the match against Rennes. Koopmeiners' hard shot from distance was easily controlled by Samba. When Nico Gonzalez set McKennie free on the right, the resulting pass across the box led to a Woltemade shot that was blocked and ended in a corner. From a Douglas Luiz cross, Nico Gonzalez's header down hit Reynolds' hand.

Rennes also created danger. From a Nagida cross, Rouault brought the ball down onto his own arm, and Vicario stepped in to control the ball. At the penalty, Samba tried to delay the shot as long as possible, but the kick went down the middle. When Nico Gonzalez was brought down by Thomasson while preparing a shot, Juventus won another free kick. The stands had been quiet for a while, but the atmosphere came alive after the penalty.
