Leonardo: We were sloppy



Juventus coach Ciro Ferrara says they have no excuses after being dumped out of the Champions League by Bayern Munich last night. David Trezeguet handed Juve the lead, but they were overrun by a rampant Bayern in Turin.
A group of around 50 fans gathered outside the stadium to protest after this disastrous 4-1 defeat to Bayern Munich. “It's terribly disappointing, but for everyone rather than just me. The club, fans and team know it hurts to go out of this competition, but we lost the last two games and tonight proved we're not capable of dealing with a situation like this,” said Ferrara. “We're not good at holding on to a draw. Bayern were superior tonight in terms of sharpness, tactics and technique. We created very little.”
The Bianconeri only needed a point to qualify and had taken the lead through David Trezeguet, but collapsed in the second half. Some would suggest they were drained from the fiery 2-1 win over Inter at the weekend.
“It's difficult to say if Inter influenced, but I don't think it's right to look for alibis. You all saw how much physical and psychological energy we poured into Saturday's match, but having said that, this is a competition that has to motivate you. “Their wide players often found space between the lines with very little resistance. It felt like we were running, but ineffectively.”
