It could have been the turning point match, the one against Monaco. Win or risk being very far from the 9-10 mark, the one needed to reach twenty-fifth place. Now we need at least three positive results, with two victories, in the last four Champions League matches. However, bad luck sees clearly, because the blunder came at the end of the match, when a draw seemed almost to have arrived, useful for moving the table and needing “only” six points to seek the playoffs.
The one seen against Juventus is not a Lille compliant, even if the home factor could be on the side of the rossoblù, looking for their first victory in the Champions League. It could be the game of turning point – as the one against the Monegasques could have been, even if it failed – even if it will almost certainly be necessary to find a ring even away from home. Which is unique, because there is Lisbon twice in the rossoblù’s future: first the Benfica at six points, then it Sportingfresh from the drunkenness of the 4-1 victory against Manchester City: super Gyokeres, but he is not the only great danger. Finally, at home, there is the Borussia Dortmund last season’s finalist and who already has nine points in the standings. It won’t be easy to get above the cut. Indeed, the coat risk exists.
