After the recent victory at home of the Serie A championship leaders,
Juventus is also a great player at European level and is going to take in Athens the victory it needed for the passage of the round and the landing in the Champions League round of 16.
The 2-0 inflicted at home to Olympiacos, thanks to the goals of Cuadrado and Bernardeschi, allows the bianconeri to close their group in second place, won as expected by Barcelona who with the same score defeats a Sporting Lisbon still in the qualifying race is forcing him to "retreat" to the Europa League.
Obviously, the Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri was satisfied with the microphones of Mediaset Premium: “In the first half we made a lot of mistakes, especially in the first 20 minutes. In Europe it is always difficult to win, we had to score the second goal because we had the opportunities to do it. Also because then we could equalize it at the end of the first half on a corner kick and then it would have become another game. This was a final. In the second half there was a bit of fogging, we missed a few steps and we had to defend ourselves to make the moment of suffering pass. As happened in Naples where we wanted to manage the ball while standing and this is impossible, you have to move the ball. Then the San Paolo match was done well overall also because it is never easy with Napoli: it's a team that runs for 90 minutes. But we need to improve in some aspects, even in closing games. We need to understand when to give the decisive bite to the opponent to win races and improve in the choice of passing: we have to work a lot on this. Dybala in trouble? It is a time where things are not going well and there is. The same thing happened to him last year too. He has to be calm and start doing things again with great simplicity. Skepticism of the Juventus fans? The Juventus fans have too much negativity, they always think they will lose the finals. In the meantime, let's go and play it also because going to the Champions League final is not easy. They have to be more positive ”.
