Bianconeri out of the Champions League after the beating with Villareal gained in the last 12 ‘
TURIN. Juventus still stops in the Champions League round of 16: Unai Emery’s Villarreal celebrates at the Stadium with a very heavy 3-0. After the 1-1 first leg, the bianconeri practically play only the first half, when they touch the goal on several occasions but find a crossbar with Vlahovic and some intervention by Rulli, then collapse in the second half. After Lyon and Porto, Villarreal also interrupts Juve’s adventure in the second round for the third time in a row.
Allegri’s team is more dangerous from the start, the board is formed by Cuadrado and Morata: the Spaniard deflects the Colombian’s cross with his head but Rulli is reactive, on 14 ‘the two bianconeri hinder each other at the moment of the excellent shot position. Then Vlahovic takes the chair, his three attempts always find the mirror. At 20 ‘the Serbian’s shot is rejected by the Argentine goalkeeper, at 22’ he goes ahead of Albiol but finds the crossbar, at the end of the time his header is intercepted again by the far defender. The best chances are for Juve, yet Villarreal does not stand by and touches the goal with Locelso. Villareal put the game to sleep, but in the 78th minute Coquelin was knocked out by Rugani in the area: the referee Marchinak needed to look at the action at the Var to decree the penalty. Szczesny hits the corner and hits the ball, but it’s not enough to avoid Villarreal’s 1-0. Allegri inserts Dybala, but Pau Torres doubles on action from the flag and in the recovery Danjuma makes three of a kind again from the spot. It ends in the whistles of the public.
In the other match played yesterday, Chelsea qualified by winning in Lille 2-1 and after the success with the same score.
