A defeat that could cost you dearly. How much we'll only know next Monday, when the opponent from the round of XNUMX emerges from the urn in Nyon, but until then it's safe to bet that no one at Juventus will sleep peacefully. The defeat in Seville and the simultaneous victory of City over Borussia Moenchengladbach decreed the worst scenario: the Bianconeri second behind the English, ironically beaten both in the first leg and in the second leg. This means that one between Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid could happen in the round of XNUMX, or the bogeymen that no one would ever want to meet on their way.
“Sorry but I don't want to hear about disappointment – thought Allegri. - What really mattered to him was to go through, then it's clear that it would have been better to do it first. Maybe we will avoid Bayern, Barça and Real, in any case, if you want to advance in the Champions League, sooner or later you have to meet them." All the fault of Fernando Llorente, ex downloaded for free in the summer (who knows why) capable of piercing Buffon and thus condemning the Lady to second place in the group, as well as bringing her Sevilla to the Europa League.
The exact opposite of what Morata did, transformed, despite himself, into the symbolic face of defeat. The Spaniard, always perfect up to now in Europe, has devoured two sensational opportunities that could have changed the history of him and of the team. “This year he has had some ups and downs but in the cup he had always scored – commented Allegri. – He played a good game, then it can happen that you make a mistake ”. However, the errors in question (failed sill tap-ins in the 25th minute and 91st minute) are too sensational to pass on the sly, a bit like the insecurity of a boy who, in the space of a few weeks, has become a "new phenomenon" in reserve of Mandzukic.
Then there is a bitter taste in the mouth for an essentially undeserved defeat: Juve played well, made a lot of mistakes (also thanks to Rico's super performance) and conceded (Llorente headed in the 65th minute) just when he thought he had the first place in the pocket. Sevilla played their game (Buffon also had to make several saves) but the bianconeri deserved at least a draw.
Sometimes in football there are bad nights, in which the strikers make a lot of mistakes (Morata) or are stopped by bad luck (incredible, in this sense, Dybala's crossbar in the 82nd minute), the problem is that this could cost much more than the simple 3 points. It is not yet the case to wrap your head (among the first there are also Wolfsburg and Zenit), but now Juve are forced to cross their fingers and rely on luck. Not the best for those who, until last night, could decide their own destiny by themselves.
