Juventus manager Max Allegri has said that his team
second half static performance was why they lost 4-1 to Real Madrid in the Champions League final. Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice as Madrid overwhelmed the Italians at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff to become the first
team to retain the Champions League trophy.
Juve missed the chance of doing the treble after their league and
domestic cup triumphs and Allegri admitted their performance dropped off
against illustrious opponents.
He said “In the first half, we
played beautifully. In the second half, we were too static, we managed to defend for 15 minutes. As
you know, football can be a nightmare. Pjanic's
shot was deflected wide, Casemiro's shot
was deflected into the goal. We knew we were playing a really strong team. In
the run-up to the final, it sounded like Juventus were favourites and were
playing a team who'd reached the final by chance. The truth is that Real Madrid
have many important players. If somebody wins the Ballon d'Or and scores so
many goals, obviously it's a big advantage. The only criticism I could make is
that after conceding the second goal, we should have stayed in the game.”
