Juventus Stumble in 2026 Opener with Draw Against Lecce

Juventus failed to start 2026 on the right foot, as they drew 1-1 with Lecce at home. Spalletti's team missed the opportunity to climb to 3rd place in the standings. McKennie equalized for Juventus, but David missed a penalty that could have given his team the victory. Juventus were better for most of the match, but failed to convert their dominance into goals. Lecce took the lead with Banda in the first half, while at the end of the match Juventus came close to scoring, but the post and a failed attempt by Openda left them with only one point.
