— The first twenty minutes we played terribly. We looked scared. We set up to play aggressively. At the end of the match, Juventus could have achieved a positive result, but fortune was not on our side. I would like to note that PSG is an outstanding team with fantastic players.

PSG's two goals were the fruits of incredible class from Neymar and Messi. If we had played more carefully, these goals would not have happened. All in all, we are in great shape for the game. My footballers took a little risk, but that's normal, because the Parisians have crazy speed and technique. When you play against teams like that, the biggest difficulty is if you don't have the ball, Massimiliano Allegri said.
