Kolo Muani strikes again in Europa League as Juventus wins at Alkmaar

Juventus claimed their fourth victory in as many Europa League matches this season with a 1-2 away win at AZ Alkmaar on Thursday night, courtesy of goals from Teun Koopmeiners (19th minute) and Randal Kolo Muani (37th minute). The Turin side now have 10 points from a possible 12 in the competition.

The contrast is striking for Kolo Muani: in ten Serie A appearances this season, the French striker has found the net just once. On the European stage, however, he boasts three goals and one assist in four matches, meaning he has a direct contribution in almost every game.

The former Paris player, on loan from PSG to Juventus, is rediscovering the confidence and cutting edge that still elude him in the league. His continental consistency comes at a particularly opportune moment: Zinédine Zidane is set to unveil his second France squad list in the coming hours, and Kolo Muani’s club performances will be closely watched by the national team manager.
