The coach of Juventus believes that his team deserved more in the match lost in Madrid, against Real (0-1).
Juve narrowly lost at the Santiago Bernabeu, 0-1, but coach Igor Tudor claims a draw was fairer, as the game played out. The black and whites had their chances, but Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois denied them a goal.
Igor Tudor: “Santiago Bernabeu is the toughest stadium that exists”
“The feeling is that we missed a goal, which we would have deserved,” commented the Croatian technician at the end: “I didn't say the result didn't matter. My impression is that the team played and did everything they could. The only thing we missed was a goal. Courtois made the difference.”
He also commented on the team's situation at the moment: “We have two points from nine, but we played against Borussia Dortmund, Villarreal and Madrid… Losing at the Bernabéu is something that can happen.
It's the toughest stadium there is and I left feeling like we deserved more and I left with a positive feeling. We have five games left and we are confident that we can reach the highest level of our game.”
Gazzetta dello Sport: “Juventus have reached 7 games without a win and 3 in a row without scoring”
Igor Tudor is under pressure, however, and Gazzetta dello Sport reminded him that the team is on its 7th match without a win in all competitions and that at this point Juve would be eliminated from the League.
“The Whites weren't exciting, but their play was enough to beat the Bianconeri, who went 7 games without a win and 3 games in a row without scoring,” notes Italy's most important profile daily. The conclusion: “The way the Champions League standings look at the moment, Juventus would be eliminated from the competition.”
“The Old Lady” is in 25th place with two draws. The first eight placed qualify directly for the “eighties”, while the rest, up to and including 24th position, support a play-off.
