PRESS ROOM | Comments after Bayern Munich-Juventus Women | OneFootball

After the Juventus Women's First Team lost away to Bayern Munich on Women's Champions League Matchday 5, Massimiliano Canzi, Hanna Bennison and Paulina Krumbiegel spoke.

MASSIMILIANO CANZI

“Compared to the game against Arsenal, when we gave very little away, things were a lot more difficult here from the off. I can’t criticise the girls’ application on the night, but there’s a gap and we have to work on closing that, starting with the physical side.

"We didn’t underestimate Bayern, and these games always allow us to take experience from. Looking ahead, the positives about playing every three games is that we can bounce back right away with a very important match. We’ll need to work to raise the ranking, so that we can increase our chances of avoid a group as complicated as this one.

“On my time at Juventus so far, the balance is positive. The team has its identity, we had our objectives and we’re in a good place regarding those: the first was to make it to the group stage of the Women’s Champions League and we managed that, then getting handed a tough draw. In the league we’re probably a little ahead of where we thought we’d be just a few months ago.”

HANNA BENNISON

“We’re very disappointed with the result, of course we came here to try to win so it’s disappointing. I think we tried our best but we have to be a little better at keeping the ball and creating more chances to score goals. We want to win the last game, of course we’re not happy with how we’ve played in the Champions League. We wanted to go through but we’re not there yet so we’ll keep working hard and try to come back again next year.”

PAULINA KRUMBIEGEL

“Of course we’re very disappointed. We wanted to play better and get a better result, but there were too many mistakes Bayern are a very strong team. We hoped maybe we could score one or two but in the end we’re disappointed. It was a very tough game and we expected that.”
