Wojciech Szczesny admits Juventus put in a ‘tragic’ performance for their 4-0 defeat to Chelsea. ‘We were unable to challenge them in any way.’
Champions League | Chelsea 4-0 Juventus: Bianconeri get the blues
The Bianconeri had already booked their spot in the Champions League Round of 16, but this was a head-to-head for group leadership and it ended in a thumping 4-0 humiliation.
It could’ve been far worse if not for Szczesny making several big saves.
“Unfortunately, tonight we saw the difference between the two teams,” the goalkeeper told Sky Sport Italia.
“They are the best team in Europe, the reigning champions of Europe and today we were unable to challenge them in any way. It hurts, it really hurts.
“On Saturday there’s a head-to-head with Atalanta in Serie A, it is very important, we must put this behind us and focus on that game.”
Juventus continue to be alarmingly inconsistent, as the moment they appear to find their form, they collapse again.
“I get the sensation we have found our balance, it’s just that tonight we put in a tragic performance and were punished by four goals.
“You can lose, but I struggle to accept losing like this.”
