Maccabi Haifa vs Juventus: The Old Lady is in the mud. The record Italian Champions appear to be headed for the Champions League exit. Furthermore, the team is also currently positioned in the middle of the Serie A standings. The Italian press has sharpened its knives in response to the most recent blow, a 2-0 loss on the road against Maccabi Haifa.
Following the result, the Bianconeri sit 3rd in their group, five points behind both PSG and Benfica. They are level on points with their opponents on Tuesday.
Maccabi Haifa vs Juventus: Italian media rips Juve to shreds following the 2-0 defeat
The Gazzetta dello Sport closes its match report with the exaggerated statement, “Juventus sinks without a lifeboat”. The sports newspaper’s earlier portions were similarly truthful. “Juve is a battered boxer who never seems to recover. The Lady no longer controls her own destiny. Even winning twice for yourself won’t be enough if the outcomes on the other fields are unsatisfactory. Now, nothing is guaranteed, not even progressing into the Europa League.”
Tuttosport stated, “Juventus is hitting a muddy figure. To retain their chances of making it to the round of 16, the black and whites needed to win, but Massimiliano Allegri’s team suffered yet another heartbreaking loss. It’s not Juventus, though. an uninspired, uninteresting, careless, and inaccurate team. In Haifa, Juventus was superior to the other team for just the first minute. Following that, they were inferior to Maccabi Haifa. A new coach is the only option, so Allegri must take the initiative.”
Would Allegri be pleased if he opened the Corriere dello Sport on Wednesday after arriving in Italy with his espresso? We are dubious. “Juventus is breaking down. First half ended with two goals, second half was scoreless”. According to the newspaper, “Allegri’s team is waving farewell to its chances for the following round”. This refers to “one of the worst chapters in the club’s history”. And still mockingly identifies “the bar” as the Old Lady’s finest defender
