Maxi Araújo was one of the Sporting players who spoke after the 1-1 draw with Juventus. The Uruguayan international scored for the Lions, but did not forget Francisco Trincão's shot that hit the bar, which he believes could have changed the course of the match.
When asked if the Lions played a good game, the full-back was positive, recalling that the team knew "it was a very difficult field. We were here to achieve a good result, as we do everywhere. The draw is positive, the important thing is to add up points."
Regarding the Sporting fans present in Turin, Maxi Araújo expressed his gratitude: "It's always until the end. Impressive! I'm delighted when the game ends. They are very important to us. We will continue on this path," he revealed, before moving on to Trincão's shot.
"Yes, if that ball had gone in, I think it would have been a completely different game, but we didn't have that luck. The game was very balanced, hence the draw," said the Uruguayan international, before assessing Sporting's performance in the Champions League so far: "Playing with this jersey in any competition requires you to fight until the end. We have been doing very well, playing great games. Now we have to focus on the League, which is very important for us."
