Lucumì's goal disallowed in Juve-Rennes: reason and Spalletti's comment

Lucumì's 88th-minute goal for Juventus was disallowed for offside after VAR review; referee deemed Rennes defender Mayenda's touch a deflection rather than a deliberate play.

Juventus had a goal disallowed in the 88th minute when Jhon Lucumì finished after a Rennes defender's touch. Referee Morten Krogh ruled that Mayenda's contact with the ball was a deflection rather than deliberate play under 2022 IFAB guidelines, meaning Lucumì was in an offside position when the ball reached him. The decision was confirmed by VAR review. Manager Spalletti praised the referee's overall performance but disagreed with the disallowed goal call.
