"Turin's „Juventus“ defensive pillar Giorgio Chiellini continues to share memories from his career with the media. This time G. Chiellini recalled the 2017 UEFA Champions League final, where they lost 1:4 to Madrid's „Real“ team. The „Juventus“ club was not considered a clear favorite before the final, as they had shown steel defense leading up to it. In the Italian media, rumors spread after the mentioned match that there was a conflict in the „Juventus“ locker room after the first half. The defender himself claims that nothing sensational happened there. "After the final in Cardiff, there were many discussions. In truth, nothing unusual happened there - we were just tired. There was nothing sensational after the first half that I could say. Nobody really argued," said G. Chiellini. "We lost because we were exhausted. We don't do well in finals - they always come too late. After the first half, we could barely move our legs, Mandzukic and Pjanic could hardly even walk. Both players were assisted while the coach spoke in the locker room. We had little time to rest and get back on the field. The result was 1:1, and later everything ended very dramatically," said G. Chiellini, who has yet to win the prestigious trophy.
