FC Porto defender Pepe notes they ‘studied Juventus well’ and knew the high press would cause them huge problems for a 2-1 victory.
The goals came in the opening minute of each half, the opener after a poor Rodrigo Bentancur back-pass, then Moussa Marega straight after the restart.
“We studied Juventus well,” Pepe told Eleven Sports in Portugal.
FC Porto defender Pepe notes they ‘studied Juventus well’ and knew the high press would cause them huge problems for a 2-1 victory.
The goals came in the opening minute of each half, the opener after a poor Rodrigo Bentancur back-pass, then Moussa Marega straight after the restart.
“We studied Juventus well,” Pepe told Eleven Sports in Portugal.
“The team assimilated what the coach asked. We knew that we had to press hard to keep Juventus from playing their football.”
However, the Champions League Round of 16 remains wide open, because Federico Chiesa grabbed a late away goal.
“It’s difficult when conceding goals at home in this type of fixture, but we played a great game.”
