Benfica on alert: how Juventus could bring Champions League good news | OneFootball

The match between Como and Juventus has further worsened the sporting situation of the vecchia signora. Last Sunday, the opponent of Benfica in the Champions League - who are preparing for the clash with Newcastle - lost in Serie A (2-0), leaving the coach, Igor Tudor, in the crosshairs of the bianconeri fans.

The situation at Juventus is delicate, as the Italian giant has not won in six consecutive matches across all competitions. The last time the bianconeri smiled was on September 13, in a crazy game against Inter Milan, where the Turin team won 4-3. Since then, the Croatian coach’s team has recorded five draws and one defeat.

The defeat against Como seems to have been the last straw for the fans who, moments after the final whistle, flooded the club’s social media with criticism and demands for Igor Tudor’s dismissal. It should be noted that the coach had already been criticized previously for his poor choice of players.

At the end of yesterday’s match, the 47-year-old coach did not remain indifferent to the difficult moment and spoke about his future at Juve: "Everything always worries me, that’s the life of a coach – you win, lose, draw, but you have to be worried. What can be done better? We’ll discuss that in the locker room".

On the other hand, although there is no confirmation, the Croatian’s continuity may depend on the results that Juventus achieves this week. The vecchia signora has two extremely important matches – against Real Madrid in the Champions League, and a visit to Lazio in another Serie A round.
