Danilo insists that Juventus showed their character despite the 2-1 loss to PSG in Paris last night.
The Bianconeri visited the Parisians in their first game of the season in the UEFA Champions League group stage, hoping to come back with a result.
With Neymar, Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi in their line-up, PSG were the clear favorites to win the match.
However, Juve are one of the biggest clubs in the world and have a better pedigree in the competition than the Ligue 1 champions.
It was always going to be a close match between two great European teams.
But PSG emerged victorious and Juve will now be looking to return to winning ways in their next group game.
Danilo believes that they showed that they are a top club despite the defeat.
He said, quoted by Calciomercato:
“We didn’t come here to lose. We are Juve and wherever we go we want to win. Today, in addition to the first 20 minutes, we have shown our character, pride and quality. Let’s start with this, we don’t have time to learn: already from the next game and from the first minute this time. This is what I learned at Juve. Even the new ones must have this desire and this mentality. Only then will we be very strong.”
Juve FC says
We lost the game due to our lack of concentration at various points in the first half.
As we return to training, we must work to avoid similar situations in the future, as we hope to beat the Parisians when they come to Turin for the second leg.
