During last season's Champions League, Turin's "Juventus" players tragically began their appearance in the group stage tournament.
Massimo Allegri's team suffered a 0-3 defeat to Barcelona players in an away game, who achieved sweet revenge for their failure in the knockout stages last spring.
After the match, the Italian said:
"We played a good first half, but in such games you have to take advantage of the chances you create.
We didn't manage to do that and we were punished before the break.
Ironically, all three goals we conceded came from our opponents' counterattacks, and the first accurate shot was the most painful for us, as we then had to play very compactly.
Of course, Barcelona had a player who can decide any match, but in the second half we had to perform better."
Rodrigo Bentancur, Juventus defender, added:
"I am satisfied with my performance, the Champions League is different from the Libertadores Cup, you need to have more endurance and technique here.
Messi is incredible, he's a player from another planet."
