Champions League
Allegri: “We would play like this again, we played well for 65 minutes”
Max Allegri declared immediately after the game that he will play the game with the same approach as Villarreal despite the heavy loss as his players played quite well for 65 minutes.
Max Allegri expressed disappointment after the end of the match between Juventus Turin and Villarreal in which the old lady suffered a 3-0 defeat and was eliminated from the Champions League.
The Italy coach stressed that he will play the game the same way as his players were very good for 65 minutes and couldn’t complain about their performance.
Details of what Allegri said: “We would play like this again as the kids played well for 65 minutes. At one point, Villarreal put everyone on defense and only one incident could break this impasse.
We have to accept this defeat, it’s ugly, but I can’t complain about the kids, they played well. I wasn’t mad at anyone. Congratulations to Emery because he had the right approach, it was one of his usual games. Let’s move on, the conflict will not help anyone.
This is football, sometimes it’s for you, sometimes it’s against you, it’s easy to accept. We tried to move the ball, Villarreal had nine players behind the ball and didn’t even try to counter at one point.
We had our chances in the first half and they were aimed at either extending or making the best of the aftermath. We were naïve at the penalty spot, then instead of turning it around, we conceded two more goals and lost control of the game“.

Former coach of Dynamo Kiev Alexander Showkovsky He should have been sacked in August after a poor performance in the Champions League qualifiers.
The blue-whites, who lost twice to Cypriot Paphos in the 3rd round of the European Cup (0:1 and 0:2), were relegated to the Europa League and then promoted to the Conference League.
“I know that Dinamo management believes that a change of coach could and should be made in the summer, after they lost to Paphos in the Champions League qualifiers.
Then an opportunity arose. But the necessary candidate was not available,” the source said.
Due to the lack of alternatives, the president of the Kiev club decided to leave Shovkovsky as head coach, but in November the Ukrainian specialist was nevertheless fired and left Dynamo.

We continue to examine the future of Donetsk shakhtar To buy tickets directly to the main stage Champions League 2026/27.
This will be possible if the place reserved for the team that wins the Champions League trophy is redistributed.
All important moments of the match are available in LIVE mode Telegram Sport.ua
Donetsk Miner They are in fourth place with a coefficient of 50.250 among the clubs competing for a possible position at the heart of the Champions League.
In the last European week, the Donetsk club added +2.625 points. This increase was achieved with a 0-0 draw with Croatian Rijeka in the 6th round of the Conference League and a sixth place in the main round final table.
Main rival Greek Olympiacos – 56,500 points remaining. The Miners can regain the 6,250-point lead if they perform well in the spring part of the European Cups.
It is interesting that Shakhtar lost the first place in the UPL (Cherkasy has the same number of points as LNZ – 35 points each), and Olympiacos lost the lead in Greece to the AEK team (36 points against 37). Ukrainian striker Roman Yaremchuk plays for the team of the city of Piraeus.
Positions rangers (59,250), 4th in Scotland and Copenhagen (53.375), placed 5th in Denmark, looks less competitive in the rankings due to its position in the national championships. Leader only in championships Dinamo Zagreb And RB Salzburg (44,000 each) but there is no certainty that the turn will come.
Let us remind you that if the cup holder buys a ticket to the Champions League through the national championship, there will be a vacancy in the main squad in the 2026/27 Champions League. In this case, a balance will arise again and if Shakhtar wins the UPL and is ahead of Olympiacos in the UEFA club rankings (or the Greek club does not become the champion of Greece), it can get a direct ticket to the base of the Champions League.
If the Piraeus team is higher in the rankings and takes advantage of the available space, the Donetsk club will start from the 4th quarter of the Champions League, not the 2nd quarter, in case they win in the UPL.
