Juventus conceded a late goal after an eventful second half. Despite twice equalizing through Zhegrova at the Mapei Stadium, the Bianconeri ultimately exposed themselves to Sassuolo, who secured the win with Adzic's goal. Following the match, Vicario shared his thoughts on the defeat.

Vicario: 'Too Reckless'

Speaking to Dazn, Vicario expressed his disappointment: "There's great bitterness. I understand the desire to win, as Juventus is obligated to try, but we lost our balance. We were too reckless. Juventus cannot concede goals like the two we let in. The reaction after falling behind was positive, but we need more balance and calm, like we showed with Woltemade. We need to be calmer because chances will come."

The Absence of Locatelli

"The captain is undoubtedly a fundamental player, but we can't hide behind excuses," Vicario stated. "We have a strong squad and must be confident in our ability to overcome challenges. It's a shame for Manu, as it seems to be a long-term injury, but we have quality players. We wear a prestigious jersey with an incredible history and must carry it with pride and responsibility." The goalkeeper concluded, "More anger or concern? Anger, because the momentum was in our favor. We have the quality; we just need the clarity to understand that games finish in the final second. When we shift the game's momentum, we show our capabilities, and we created chances tonight – we just need more attention."
