“We were eliminated from a tournament in which we won six matches out of eight, drew one and lost one,” quotes Juventus head coach Maurizio Sarri Goal… – This means that in eight meetings we would have scored 19 points. If there was a table in the Champions League, we would be in first or second place. Instead, Juventus were eliminated. That’s why I’m incredibly sad. ”
