Massimiliano Allegri’s baffling speech after monumental Juventus fiasco

The continuation after this advertisement Of course, Villarreal is the defending champion in the Europa League. But don’t make the Italians believe this morning that Juventus have been knocked down (1-1, 0-3) by a contender for the final crown in the Champions League. Designated among the small thumbs of the round of 16, the Spanish club was one of the formations on which many of Europe’s greats wanted to fall. So inevitably, when the Old Lady inherited it, many thought that she would finally be able to pass the course of the eighth. Unfortunately for die-hard Juve fans, they won’t see the quarter-finals for the third year in a row. A real failure which has also earned its boss, Andrea Agnelli, many mockeries on social networks.

I know the value of the team, I have my feet on the ground and I value what I have in my hands. We accept this defeat, but I’m sorry, the boys had a great game and I can’t tell them anything. The disappointment is great, for them and for the supporters, but that’s football. Congratulations to Emery, he had a good game. Sometimes things go our way, other times against them. “Not sure that Allegri’s words are shared by everyone this morning…
