We didn?t choose to only play after 70minutes. It was imposed on us by allegri. They suffocated the space and tried to play for 1:0. With someone like Ibra or Giroud we could have hurt them, but Rebic isn?t suited for this game. Once we scored from the set piece they moved up and left us space which we punished.

Juventus didn't even press that much comparing to Liverpool.
We were simply shower and less sharp.

Also, when we had the ball we had zero ideas what to do with it.

In the first 70" we played like it's a friendly.
And I don't mean tactics, I mean grit and tempo.

Imposed on us not by pressing, but by dropping way back and closing off the spaces. Allegri played an extremely defensive game, at home as Juve while 1-0 through a lucky break from a corner.

It wasn't about sharpness from our end. We didn't have the right players to break down such a crowded area. Once we scored they tried to move up and then the spaces appeared and we could have won.
