Thiago Motta has advised Randal Kolo Muani to remain grounded despite his impressive start at Juventus. Kolo Muani, on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, scored twice in a 2-1 victory over Como at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia. This brings his tally to five goals in three Serie A matches, making him the first player to achieve this feat in the three points per win era since 1994-95.

Kolo Muani's performance against Como was notable as he registered a team-high expected goals (xG) of 0.88 and had more shots on target than any other player for Juventus. "He's in good form, he scores goals, but he is sure he can do better," Motta told Sky Sports. "He needs to keep his feet on the ground and continue to work."

The French forward has found a new rhythm in Italy after struggling for game time at PSG under Luis Enrique. He started only two of ten appearances in Ligue 1 during the 2024-25 season. Now, with Juventus, Kolo Muani is enjoying a fresh start and expressed his delight by saying, "It's a dream for me. I'm very happy to be here and with this start."

Juventus' win against Como lifted them above Lazio and Fiorentina into fourth place in Serie A. However, they faced challenges as Cesc Fabregas' team dominated the first half with an xG of 0.67 from nine shots while limiting Juventus to just three attempts on goal. Assane Diao's equaliser before halftime was well-deserved for Como.

Motta acknowledged the difficulty of playing against Como, stating, "Playing against Como today is not easy, and it wasn't for anyone." He praised his team's ability to secure victory after halftime adjustments, expressing happiness for his players who earned the win.

Kolo Muani's resurgence at Juventus highlights his potential as a key player in Serie A this season. His ability to score consistently has been crucial for Juventus' recent success. As he continues to adapt and improve, both Motta and Kolo Muani remain focused on maintaining their momentum throughout the campaign.

The victory over Como marks an important step for Juventus as they aim to climb higher in the league standings. With Kolo Muani leading their attack, they look forward to building on this positive start and achieving further success in upcoming matches.
