The Turin team "Juventus" unexpectedly finished in failure in the UEFA Champions League group stage.

The representatives of "Serie A" lost 0:2 at home to the Lisbon club "Benfica" and remained in just 20th place.

In the first knockout round, "Juventus" will play against PSV or "Milan".

After the defeat, "Juventus" coach Thiago Motta urged his players to wake up from their lethargy.

"We must improve our game as soon as possible. In the last third of today's match, we created absolutely nothing."

"We need to handle situations better when opponents set up counterattacks. Today, "Benfica" fully deserved the victory," explained T. Motta.
