Goals: Taremi 1′, Marega 46′ – Chiesa 82′.
Marega doubled Porto’s lead at the beginning of the second half.
Losing the first leg of the 1/8 round of the Champions League has become a familiar scenario for Juventus, since the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo.
The common point in all three of Juventus’ losses is that Ronaldo failed.
Positioned as a left striker by Andrea Pirlo, Ronaldo could barely receive the ball in the final third of the field.
Ronaldo shared his joy with Chiesa after shortening the score at the end of the match.
The secret to Porto’s success is preemption.
20 seconds after the break, it was the defense system commanded by Alex Sandro’s turn to make a mistake.
Ronaldo demanded a penalty after colliding with Sanusi and falling in the Porto penalty area in injury time.
Coach Sergio Conceico appeared to carefully study how to operate the opponent’s 4-4-2 scheme.
The brightest opportunity for Juventus in the first half was a hook shot at the end of the half by Adrien Rabiot.
Taremi celebrated opening the score, taking full advantage of Bentancur’s mistake.
If they lose 0-2, Juventus’s path to the next round will be very narrow.
