Antonio Conte is upset with the
result his Juventus received in their Benfica match, being held to a 0-0 draw with the Portuguese champions, frustrated
with the way the victors played, "We reached for the dream, but we could
not make it happen," Conte told Mediaset Premium.
"Benfica were extremely obtrusive and the referee allowed it. This
affected us.”
"There were only 40
minutes of actual play, and the average is around 60 minutes. There were
continuous stops to the game and time wasting, especially in the second half.
"Benfica showed all of
their experience, they've been doing this in Europe for a long time and this
evening they showed they were able to handle it.”
This is the second European
competition Juventus have been knocked out of this season, following their 1-0
loss to Galatasaray in Turkey that knocked them out in the group stages.
"We deserved much more but
this is football. We must keep our heads up, my boys put in all of their
effort. Now we will focus on Serie A, on Monday we can conquer our third
consecutive Scudetto.
"We gave everything, I did
not like the obstructive attitude of the opponent and the referee who allowed
it to happen."
