"Turin's „Juventus“ unexpectedly ended their performance in the UEFA Champions League on Friday, when they defeated „Lyon“ at home 2:1, but the French team advanced to the quarterfinals due to the away goals rule. Despite the loss, „The Old Lady's“ coach Maurizio Sarri stated that he is satisfied with the team's performance and character shown. "I think we played a great game last night. The team worked very well in the last few days and if it wasn't for our elimination from the Champions League, I could be happy with our performance. If I didn't think about the disappointment I feel due to the elimination, I would be extremely happy last night because the team showed character and all the players gave their all on the field," - Sarri told the journalists. The Italian also mentioned that „Juventus“ is one of the best teams in the Champions League, but due to the unfavorable format, they can no longer compete for the title. "We were eliminated from a tournament where we won six out of eight matches, once played a draw and suffered one defeat. This means that we would have collected 19 points in eight rounds. If the format of the Champions League was different, we would currently be in first or second place, but now we have simply withdrawn from the tournament. That's why I feel a huge disappointment. It seems like the Champions League tournament is cursed for „Juventus“," - added M. Sarri.
