Juventus talent Conceicao denies tantrum in Vigo: ‘I want to be clear’

Francisco Conceicao has denied reports claiming he threw a furious tantrum after being substituted during Juventus's 2-1 Europa League victory against Celta Vigo. The Portuguese winger clarified that while he hit his seat on the bench, he did not argue with any members of Luciano Spalletti's coaching staff. Conceicao explained he briefly visited the dressing room to change his shirt and use the bathroom before returning to the bench.

Juventus secured the win after Nick Woltemade equalized and Randal Kolo Muani netted a stoppage-time winner to maintain their perfect Europa League record. Manager Luciano Spalletti confirmed his staff denied any altercation occurred, though he noted the player should focus on his performance. Juventus now turn their attention to an upcoming Serie A clash with Lazio.
