MONACO (ITALPRESS) – Juventus draws 0-0 against Monaco at the Stade Louis II and closes to the thirteenth place the Champions League championship, thus arming the serial status ahead of the playoff (17/18 and 24/25 February) that will see the Bianconeri challenge one between Bruges and Galatasaray. A result that in the end does not displease anyone, even the hosts who avoid the elimination and excite a place in the shooting, albeit not as a standard head. The qualifying between the first eight was arithmetically possible for Juve, but it appeared complicated already on the eve. And Spalletti’s training choices seem to confirm how reduced the confidence in the direct pass for the eighth. Yildiz stays on the bench and enters only 45′. The absence of Turkish is felt at first that hardly begins in the worst way. Monaco has had a great chance: Perin misses the measure of a passage and gives the ball to Akliouche, who, however, grace by mistaking the ball at the back door. The French fantasist tries to be forgiven at 31′, opening the way of the door to Vanderson, whose shot is however rejected by Perin, who is repeated shortly after always on a conclusion of the Brazilian. The extreme Bianconeri defender keeps the Bianconeri afloat in the first time, being beaten only by Balogun, whose goal at the 14′ is canceled for a flat thrust on Kalulu. Juventus overlooks the Kohn side with Openda, which at 40′ enters the area and tries without luck a diagonal with the mancino. At the interval Spalletti changes the trequarti: outside Conceicao and Miretti, inside Adzic and Yildiz. Juventus, however, struggles to produce clean deals, putting himself in trouble several times in the first setting. Like 73′ when Balogun steals Adzic ball and tries a round shot that ends in Perin’s arms. The rhythms are low in the final and the result does not change. Friday at 12:00 there will be the draw that will define the phase to elimination direct: the Juve from series head waits to know his opponent.– Photo Ipa Agency – (ITALPRESS).
