Well, we still have 45 minutes to salvage what little hope remains of our European campaign, but so far the early signs are anything but encouraging.
Juventus entered their Champions League away fixture against Maccabi Haifa knowing that winning is the only option to maintain their qualification hopes, but instead they found themselves losing from the start as Wojciech Szczesny failed to deflect a header. by Omer Atzili.
The same player doubled the home side’s lead again with an unstoppable goal before the end of the first half.
And to top it off, Ángel Di María left the field of play after suffering a muscle injury. The Argentine grabbed his hamstring after sprinting, before requesting an immediate substitution. Arek Milik entered his place.
This is the veteran’s third injury since joining Juventus in the summer, which is another worrying sign for the club.
Despite the gloomy first half, let’s hope we can somehow salvage the match after the break.
