Playoffs without the Bianconeri
Juventus in the away match of the 5th round of the Champions League lost Benfica – 3:4.
In the first half, the Bianconeri conceded three goals at once (Antonio Silva, Juan Mario and Rafa Silva), answering only with an accurate kick by Keane. At the same time, Juventus set an interesting record, conceding three goals in the first half in the Champions League for the first time in the history of the club.
After the break, the extravaganza of goals continued. Rafa Silva scored a brace, but Juventus managed to win back two goals at the end of the meeting with the efforts of Milik and McKenny.
The defeat of Juventus left the Italians out of the playoffs of the Champions League. After five rounds, Massimiliano Allegri’s team is in third place, and the gap between Benfica and PSG, who defeated Maccabi in a parallel match, was eight points.
In the final round, Juventus will host PSG, while Maccabi will play with Benfica. Both matches will take place on November 2.
