Juventus suffered their second consecutive elimination from the last 16 of the Champions League, something that had never happened before.
Andrea Pirlo’s men were beaten 2-1 in Portugal and Juventus won 3-2 after extra time at the Allianz Stadium, but it was not enough to see them through to the next round.
Juventus suffered their second consecutive elimination from the last 16 of the Champions League, something that had never happened before.
Andrea Pirlo’s men were beaten 2-1 in Portugal and Juventus won 3-2 after extra time at the Allianz Stadium, but it was not enough to see them through to the next round.
What happened against Olympique Lyonnais in the last 16 last season, repeated itself on Tuesday.
Maurizio Sarri was eventually sacked by the Bianconeri and seven months later the club leaves the competition after having made numerous mistakes during the two legs.
Pirlo said the Bianconeri must forget about the defeat to the Portuguese giants and now solely focus on recovering their season in Serie A, but Sky Sport Italia reveals it’s the first time Juventus have – between the European Cup and the Champions League – been eliminated from the second round in two consecutive seasons.
