Juventus had a terrible performance as they were beaten 2-1 at home by Benfica in the Champions League last night.
The Bianconeri have not started well this season, and that loss means they are now winless in their last four competitive games.
They started the game well and opened the scoring after 4 minutes, and it looked like they would finally win a game at the fourth try.
However, that never happened as the Portuguese side scored twice to nullify the result.
Juve now risk ending their UCL campaign in the group stage, which would be an embarrassing result.
Italian journalist Mario Sconcerti has criticized them for their performance in the game.
He said, quoted by Il Bianconero:
“We always believe in Juve, it is a definition. Watching it shake off and start up again in a few days has always been a habit. This time there is nothing but something profound that goes beyond the technical aspect. A general normality that hits from behind and, in addition, the inability to solve it.
“It is painful to watch her play, like a stone that always comes back down the slope. Juve did not know how to play good football against anyone at the beginning of the season. It’s not possible.
“You can play badly, but Juve does something different, it disappears, it wraps itself up. It is not something that affects only football, it is for anyone who comes less than a century of reference.
Juve FC says
Our performance against Benfica was terrible and will not fill the fans with confidence.
Game after game, this team is showing why they are not good enough despite the investment made in the summer.
Max Allegri is now under huge pressure and the club could fire him soon.
