"Juventus moved to within one point of the Champions League places after their win at Allianz Stadium, which was secured by two goals early on in the match."
"Spalletti insisted could not be the case as his players received extra time off in the build-up to the match. 'It wasn't tiredness, we didn't train yesterday or the day before,' Spalletti told Sky after full-time."
"Michele Di Gregorio did brilliantly to deny Martin from 12 yards, before jumping back to his feet to repel the Spaniard's volley moments later."
"Despite Spalletti's concerns, it was a positive day for Juventus, who pulled three points clear of sixth-placed Roma, who were beaten by leaders Inter on Sunday."
Juventus defeated Genoa 2-0, with early goals from Bremer and Weston McKennie. Despite a lack of intensity in the second half, Michele Di Gregorio saved a penalty. Luciano Spalletti dismissed claims of player fatigue, citing extra rest days before the match. The victory positioned Juventus one point from Champions League spots and marked Spalletti's 300th Serie A win, joining an elite group of managers. Juventus also increased their lead over sixth-placed Roma, who lost to Inter.
