Leonardo Bonucci said Juventus deserve credit for “forcing Atletico Madrid to sit back and wait for us.”
The Bianconeri dominated possession at the Vicente Calderon with 62 per cent of the ball, but were beaten 1-0 by an Arda Turan goal.
“Perhaps we lacked the final pass, as we did well until the final third, but Atletico close with all 11 men behind the ball,” Bonucci told Sport Mediaset.
“We tried to spread the play and had some chances, albeit not clear ones, but were penalised on an error as we allowed them a cross that should’ve been closed down.
“We know Serie A and the Champions League are two different situations. In Europe when you make a half-mistake, there are players who can take advantage.
“If we look on the positive side, we dominated possession against an Atletico Madrid side that almost won the Champions League last season and forced them to sit back and wait for us.”
