Juventus face an impossible task as they need to beat Benfica in the Champions League this week.
The Bianconeri have lost three of their four Champions League games this season and need to win the next two to progress.
Benfica and PSG are their rivals, but their first stop is Lisbon to face the Portuguese team and it will be a difficult game.
A report by Tuttojuve reveals that Juve have not beaten Benfica or Sporting Lisbon in Lisbon.
The Portuguese side have forgotten how to lose a match and come into this game unbeaten this season.
That makes Juve’s task even more difficult, but one thing they will want to achieve is break the Lisbon curse.
Juve FC says
Beating Benfica will be difficult, but this Lisbon curse should give us extra motivation to win the game.
It seemed unbeatable, but Juve have more prestige than the Portuguese team and this is an opportunity for us to show that we are serious about progress in the UCL.
The remaining matches of this Champions League season will show whether our players have the character to overcome a difficult situation.
If they can secure wins in their remaining games, it could propel them to more extraordinary things this term.
The player’s reaction persuaded Joan Laporta to appoint Xavi Hernández over Andrea Pirlo
