Thuram: ‘Juventus must not risk throwing everything away’ | OneFootball

Khephren Thuram insists Juventus ‘must not risk throwing everything away’ after a disastrous run of four defeats and a draw in all competition.

The Bianconeri are in crisis now, losing four of their last five games between Serie A, the Champions League and Coppa Italia.

They suffered their first Serie A home defeat since March 2025 today, defeated 2-0 by Como with goals from Mergim Vojvoda and Maxence Caqueret making the most of obvious errors.

“We are very angry after this game, because it was an important match and we lost it,” said Thuram in his press conference.

“It will be a totally different situation on Wednesday and we’ve got to immediately start focusing on the next test. We must play well and win.”

The pressure seems to be getting to Juve, who collapsed after the Juan Cabal red card in Istanbul and were beaten 5-2 by Galatasaray.

That leaves them with a mountain to climb on Wednesday to turn it around in that Champions League play-off.

“It’s not true that we have switched off, and we must not risk throwing everything away,” insisted Thuram.

“We lost the last two games, but we still have faith in ourselves and need to keep working. We knew Como play very good football, with a great coach like Cesc Fabregas who prepares them thoroughly.”

The Juventus fans jeered loudly at the final whistle and hurled insults at the team when they stood under the Curva at the end of this 2-0 home defeat.

“We have to keep working and try to improve those areas where we made mistakes today. We must improve both individually and as a unit.”
