The Granata had the better of the second half after Cesare Bovo wiped out a Paul Pogba opener, but Juan Cuadrado secured the 2-1 result at the 94th minute.

“This result is really hard to swallow,” Coach Ventura told Sky Sport Italia.

Giampiero Ventura felt Torino “committed suicide” in their last-gasp defeat to Juventus. “This is really hard to swallow.”

The Granata had the better of the second half after Cesare Bovo wiped out a Paul Pogba opener, but Juan Cuadrado secured the 2-1 result at the 94th minute.

“This result is really hard to swallow,” Coach Ventura told Sky Sport Italia.

“Last season we deserved to win the derby at the Stadium and the same is true tonight. For 85 minutes we played the game we wanted to, with the objective of three points and allowing Juve barely anything.

“In the last five minutes, we hoped to just get a draw and stopped playing. We gave our best before then, showing great intensity and going close to a second goal numerous times.

“It’s a real shame, I’m sorry for the club, the fans and the players. I am angry and disappointed, above all for my lads who deserved to emerge from the Stadium at least unbeaten.

“Losing two derbies in a row like this to Juventus is like committing suicide in my view. Fortunately I have a group of quality players who are ready to learn from their mistakes.”
