Anatoliy Trubin says Juventus defeat is part of the journey for Benfica | OneFootball

Benfica lost 2-0 at Juventus on Wednesday, but Anatoliy Trubin urged focus and framed the setback as part of the journey.

According to Glorioso 1904, the defeat in Turin came in the penultimate round of the Champions League league phase. The dressing room felt frustrated by the result yet encouraged by the display.

Trubin said it is part of the path, that they will keep working and stay focused on what comes next, acknowledging the disappointment but believing the team can respond.

After the match, J. Mourinho stressed that even if progress looks practically impossible, practically is not impossible. He added that, regardless of objectives, Benfica players must give everything and play with responsibility.

To qualify for the Champions League play-off, Benfica must beat Real Madrid at Estádio da Luz on 28 January at 20:00, then hope several rivals do not win. The permutations remain difficult to determine, so hope persists.
