We can say this for Juventus, another area where they can be successful in the European league, along with Serie A. There were some players, like Pogba, who suffered major injuries and failed to yield. They could not play matches with full squad harmony and quality. There is no doubt that they will be of better quality in the second half of the league. After the World Cup, I am more hopeful for Juventus. One of the teams that can win the European league is definitely Juventus. We will see this together in the following processes.
I feel like missing 10+ players would make a team a terrible one, not all of them were starting 11 quality, but when you miss your player to injury and then the bench one also ends up being injured, thats going to make that situation a lot worse as well, that doesn't mean that third place player would suffice, it would make it bad and sometimes instead of that you play someone else out of position, a great midfielder who plays at wing, or a great defender plays in wing back whatever, which is the trouble.
Thats why I do not really see how Juventus could have been decent this year, if the players heal and become better than we could maybe see them do a lot better.
