Goodbye..... for now.

Juventus are out of Europe and the fairytale ending that they wanted has gone up in smoke. This defeat is not such a bad thing, I mean they made in to the semi- finals against a very stubborn and organised Benfica. Antonio Conte may bemoan that the better team lost but I just saw at as one team sticking to their main objective and Juve not having the cutting edge on the night to break them down. I don't like to see such a respected Coach act like this, he should just try to understand why they couldn't break them down and come up with a way to deal with this kind of situation in the future.

 Always look for the positive- after dealing with the shock and heartbreak that is! ( talking from personal experience!) The Old Lady had a phenomenal amount of chances that were either to weak or off target, so maybe Conte should be working on that because he doesn't want to be likened to a certain Portugese Coach! This loss to a very defensive Benfica should at lest show certain people ( you know who you are!) the importance of defending and how Italian teams are not the sole league who rely on this. But it should also show how they have lost a bit, just look at the first leg when they let in the first goal from a set play. I'm proud to be a Juventus fan as they showed great character and I do hope this helps to wipe out some of the stereotypes people have about Italian football.

 FINA ALLA FINE, FORZA JUVENTUS!
