Real Madrid won against Juventus, and as a Juventus fan I'm not surprised at all, I'm actually glad we managed to lose only 1-0, all thanks to Di Gregorio, Juventus' goalkeeper who did some very good savings, if it wasn't for him we would have lost at least 4-0. The difference between the two teams was clear. I am always very disappointed by Gonzalez and Koopmeiners, so much money wasted for these 2 players...
It is understandable that Juventus fans were not surprised by the defeat because the two teams are of different qualities, but there was another side that was a big highlight in this match, namely Michele Di Gregorio extraordinary performance. He made 10 saves against Real Madrid and denied a couple of goalscoring chances, his first performance at the top level was truly outstanding, he was signed from Monza for €14 million, unlike Gonzalez and Koopmeiners who have not performed to expectations despite the big money the club spent on them. Despite being eliminated from this competition, what Michele Di Gregorio showed gave new hope to Juventus when the season officially started.


Juventus tried. I know that Real Madrid are not in their strongest form and Juve should used that to their opportunity but then It's a lose and leave the tournament stage so Madrid would do anything possible to reach the next round. Atleast Juventus showed their strength they made it tough for Madrid to score and didn't allow the goal pass beyond one after Madrid managed to score in the second half.
The game was really close to equal, but the score could have been more if not for the Juventus goalkeeper, who as I think two or three times saved Juventus from a sure goal into their own net. I think that Di Gregorio should be recognized as the player of the match even though Juventus lost.

Also I can not agree with the fact that Juventus tried well to impose the fight to Real, because after we could watch the match Borussia Monterrey and here Monterrey really tried his best and even equalized the score in the second half, but the referee saw offside and still Monterrey fought until the last second and Sergio Ramos could take the game into extra time, but he was a little unlucky.
So Juventus did not show something interesting and lost with a minimal score only thanks to Di Gregorio.
