Nick Woltemade has earned praise from the media in Italy for his performance in Juventus\u2019s 2-2 draw against Rennes<\/a> in the Europa League on Thursday evening, a night that saw the German match a record that has only previously been achieved by Roberto Baggio and Darko Kovacevic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What Newspapers wrote about Woltemade after starring performance in Juventus 2-2 Rennes<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t the most convincing performance on a collective level as Juventus had to fight back to earn a point at home against Renned at the Allianz Stadium, but there has been praise for Woltemade from the likes of La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Corriere dello Sport and Tuttosport after providing the assist for the Bianconeri opener and then levelling from the penalty spot in the second half.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Woltemade has now scored in all of his first three European matches for Juventus, a feat that has only previously been achieved by Baggio in 1990 and Kovacevic in 1999.\u00a0<\/p>\n

La Gazzetta dello Sport<\/a> wrote that this was a game that \u2018showed off\u2019 Woltemade\u2019s best qualities, noting that he was at \u2018total ease\u2019 in the final third given the opportunity to play in his preferred position behind an out-and-out centre-forward (Randal Kolo Muani).\u00a0<\/p>\n

The front page<\/a> of Friday\u2019s Corriere dello Sport claimed that Woltemade had finally \u2018stepped up\u2019 for Juventus, while Tuttosport suggested that the Newcastle loanee was the \u2018only one who showed the right spirit\u2019 of the Juventus players on the pitch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Woltemade has three goals and one assist on his record since joining Juventus on loan from Newcastle during the summer transfer window. Those have all come in the Europa League. He is still waiting for his first start and first goal contribution in Serie A after five consecutive appearances off the bench.\u00a0<\/p>\n
