Juventus thrashed Barcelona by 3-0 in the first leg of the quarter-final of the champions league, after the match, this is what the managers said:
Allegri -Juventus Manager: “I want to congratulate the lads because, as a team, they did great.
“It isn’t easy overcoming a team like Barcelona, but we also dug deep to keep a clean sheet. That was fundamental for us.
“But we have to remain humble, keep our heads down and keep working. PSG scored four, and look what happened.
“In Barcelona, it will be different and we have to try and score a goal.”
Enrique – Barcelona Manager: “We basically gifted two goals to Juventus in the opening half. As coach, for me it’s inexplicable how they were so much better than us.
“It’s like a nightmare. We’ve had very little luck of late, and now I can only hope that from tomorrow we get back on our feet.
“In the first half the players were determined, but we made the same mistakes from Paris, and that’s a problem. Our second half was much better. But I still have the opening half in my head, like a nightmare.
“Maybe it wasn’t [a repeat of] Paris, but it was like the third half from Paris.
“I’m an optimistic person. But I take responsibility for this. I’m the coach and the buck stops at me.
“If we play as well as we can, we can score four goals against anyone.”
