So many regrets, but the verdict is clear. Juventus Primavera greets the UEFA Youth League (again the circles are fatal, as in the two previous editions), losing 1-0 to Sevilla in a game from inside or out and with only the victory in hand. The Bianconeri fail so to subvert the odds and complete the company began two weeks ago, when the victory over City of Vieira and the contemporary last minute equalizer of Moenchengladbach with the Andalusians had rekindled a flame now died down.

END OF DREAMS – A defeat, the Spanish soil, writing the word end on a ‘adventure similar to a roller coaster, where the boys to Fabio Grosso has lacked consistency needed to play a leading role. Timid approach in the first two games against against City and Seville (two knockouts, 4-1 and 0-1), the trip started and ended badly German, when six minutes late reaction were not enough to turn a game that Borussia Moenchengladbach had dominated as a whole. In the middle of the treble, illusory, always against the Germans and the City (two weeks ago), in Vercelli. Too little for a team that has not collected even away the crumbs.

ALWAYS chasing – Three defeats in as many games friends outside the walls. A roadmap that explains perfectly why the elimination of Juventus, too shy even the trip to Seville. The Bianconeri have stood in the first half supported by a super Audero, miraculous in the middle phase of attempts to Sanchez and Nanè. Then the decisive episode, just at the close of the first half, when he mentioned a Cassata Sedeno tested on seeing waving the red card and taking the vehement reproaches of Captain Romagna.

THE YIELD – In ten, Grosso tried to reshuffle the cards, putting Pozzebon man with important goals in the league (9), but dry in the Champions youth. All in vain, because the dominance of boys Lopez Paez numerical superiority became more evident. The inevitable result after 57 minutes, when the left-handed Sanchez has pierced Audero and written the last word on the hope eagle. Futile attempts end and the entry of Vadalà, generous but imprecise. The Seville off the pass to the next round; Grosso remain in the league and Italian Cup to console. But the regret, after the company two weeks ago, remains.
