Giorgio Chiellini scored the opening goal in the Italian Super Cup, but couldn’t prevent Juventus losing on penalties to Milan. “We must learn from this.”
The defender’s early volley was wiped out by a Giacomo Bonaventura header for 1-1 and it went to a shoot-out in Doha.
“It’s disappointing, we lost another Supercoppa on penalties in Doha after 2014 and in all honesty I thought we put in a decent performance,” Chiellini told JTV.

“It’s disappointing, we lost another Supercoppa on penalties in Doha after 2014 and in all honesty I thought we put in a decent performance,” Chiellini told JTV.
“We started so strong and pinned Milan back into their own half, creating many opportunities. Paradoxically, after the goal we went a bit too deep and allowed spaces to a side with a lot of quality.
“The regrets remain, because we had the chances to win it to the end. We mustn’t make a drama out of it, but we must learn from this because the next six months have to be a march towards success.
“It’s disappointing, as we came here to win and our Christmas break will have a bitter taste in the mouth. At the same time, we’ve got to tip our hats to Milan.
“Clearly 2016 remains a positive year, as we continuing to raise our level in Italy and in the world. We mustn’t lose that hunger to train and improve every day, which was the secret to our success over the last few years.”
