Shining brightly with a double goal, Ronaldo’s excellence alone was not enough to help Juventus escape the final defeat against Lyon after 2 matches.
Going into the match with the mindset of having to win after losing in the first leg, it was no surprise that the hosts, Juventus, were the ones to proactively attack right from the opening whistle.
In the 10th minute, in a quick attack by Lyon, Bentancur had an unclear collision with a visiting team player.
Being put in a difficult position, Juventus was forced to attack, but what the home team could do was extremely lackluster.
In the 43rd minute, Juventus suddenly received an unclear penalty, and Ronaldo did not miss the opportunity to bring the match back to balance.
Entering the second half, with the task of scoring 2 more goals, Juventus continued to be the team that pressed, but the home team’s attacking power was weak.
But at a time when it seemed hopeless for Juventus, Ronaldo’s stardom once again spoke up.
Just scoring 1 goal in the remaining 30 minutes, Juventus rushed forward to attack while Lyon made no secret of their intention to preserve the score.
Juventus won 2-1 in the second leg overall, but lost after both matches because of the away goals rule.
