Champions League – Juventus – Villarreal (0-3) – Massimiliano Allegri: “Juve have ten teams ahead of them in Europe”

This is a third slap in three years. And it hurts Juventus a little more each time. After eliminations against Lyon and Porto for the past two years, the Bianconeri were again eliminated in the knockout stages of the Champions League, this Wednesday evening at the Allianz Stadium. This time, it was Villarreal who had the skin of the Old Lady by winning with a score that was a bit of a liar (0-3, 1-1 in the first leg) but of a chilling realism. –

The table of qualifiers-

What happened ? There is no explanation, sometimes football is like thatreacted Juan Cuadrado shortly after the final whistle. We had a first period with a lot of chances, but without managing to put them on and that somewhat conditioned the rest. They defended well, it’s a shame it happened like that, but that’s football, we have to look forward and fight until the end for the championship. We tried to find the spaces, but they were very well in place. We had done much better in the first half to find these spaces. The football continues.”

Champions League

Villarreal is royal!

YESTERDAY AT 9:54 PM

We played well for 75 minutes, then…

Undefeated since November 27 in Serie A, Juve, fourth and which has slowly returned to the fight for the Scudetto, will therefore now have to digest this stinging setback.

We will soon have to turn the pageMassimiliano Allegri told Sky Italia. For 75 minutes, all the players played an extraordinary game. Then the episode of the penalty arrived and changed everything. You have to turn the page and think about the championship. There is disappointment, sadness. But we do a good job. We had chances in the first half but it became more complicated in the second half, they went down a lot. Only a fact of play could break this balance and it is what occurred. Changes ? Dybala, Bernardeschi were a bit fair, I wanted to go as far as possible (with the players on the field, editor’s note) if we had to go into overtime. I had asked for the change before the (first) penalty, the goal changed the plan a bit… But there were still twelve or thirteen minutes left, we should have remained calmer.

The Piedmontese technician assured that he “had nothing to reproach his players“this Wednesday night.”I would do the same game we did. We played well for 75 minutes. We must accept this defeat“, told the Tuscan coach to Amazon Prime Italia. Tuesday, at a press conference, he had nevertheless assured that he wanted “go to the end of the competition“. Missed.

I’ve always said it’s one thing to have ambition, it’s another to measure up to realityhe regretted. Villarreal won the Europa League despite everything, its coach won several times in Europe. But I have nothing to reproach my team. And we have to win the next league game otherwise we can spoil the work done for months. The risk of a season without a title? We all want to win but it’s not because we are called Juve that we have to win. But we work for (…) Juve have ten teams ahead of them in Europe, it’s a reality, not a shame.

For the second consecutive year, Italy will have no representative in the quarter-finals of the C1. A first for more than twenty years (2000-2001-2001-2002) for Calcio, which saw Inter Milan being eliminated last week by Liverpool (0-2, 1-0).
