Leipzig-Juventus it was the first major test passed with flying colors by the Bianconeri in the Champions League: the 3-2 victory with one man less due to Di Gregorio’s expulsion and also away from home. Success that has been missing for too long now, to be precise for three years, since 20 October 2021, when Dejan Kulusevski scored the goal to beat Zenit.
Bitter evening therefore for the Tori Rossi Marco Rosewho remain stuck with zero points in the standings given the defeat prior to their debut against Atletico Madrid. In the post-match last night at the Red Bull Arena, the German coach himself intervened to comment on the outcome of the match against Thiago Motta’s band.
The declaration: “In the end we have to recognize the class of Juventus, for example when Dusan Vlahovic scored to make it 2-2. In two situations we didn’t defend well enough and we didn’t take advantage of our scoring opportunities. It’s a difficult experience to learn for us, but that’s exactly what we have to bring with us now.
