Bayern Munich's footballers looked powerful in the Champions League on Tuesday. During the first match against Juventus in Italy, the German club controlled the ball 64% of the time, and this number reached 75% at times. Josep Guardiola's team scored two goals, but then received a powerful response.
Until the 63rd minute after goals by Thomas Mueller and Arjen Robben, Bayern led 2-0, but the vice-champion Juventus team found strength and weaknesses in the opponents' defense, began scoring goals, and the match ended 2-2.
After such a match, J. Guardiola lost his usual composure. "The result is as it is. I know that in Italy, everything revolves around physical fitness. But I don't care about that. The most important thing for me is the psychological aspect. I didn't expect that we would come here and Juventus wouldn't score or that we would play fantastically for 90 minutes. They have players like Mario Mandzukic, Paul Pogba, and Leonardo Bonucci. All of them are some of my favorite footballers," said J. Guardiola.
Finally, he controlled his emotions. "I'm very sorry that the match ended this way. You'll say that we lacked character. But we came, we had the ball, created chances, scored goals. Will that be enough for us to progress? I don't know. But I am satisfied with tonight. Maybe I'll work alone in Italy," said J. Guardiola.
First, he will work in England. In the summer, J. Guardiola will become the coach of Manchester City.
