Leer en español: Leverkusen complica su estadía en Champions tras la derrota con el Juventus

Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky reached an accurate conclusion after the defeat of his team 3-0 against Juventus of Turin, where Cristiano Ronaldo plays, on the second day of the Champions League, ensuring that "it was not entirely terrible, but it didn't go very well either. "

Leverkusen showed a good first half against Cristiano Ronaldo and company and had a greater ball possession. But the team made mistakes, did not fire once at the door and received a whole lesson in the last half hour of the game.

After the goals of Gonzalo Higuaín (in the 17th minute) and Federico Bernadeschi (in the 62nd), it was devastating that, one minute from the end, Cristiano Ronaldo scored the third after several marking errors.

Leverkusen's chances of reaching the knockout stages are slim. "Now two games have gone to waste. That's why we need to win in Madrid," said defense leader Sven Bender, already thinking about the match that will be played on October 22 against Atlético.

"I think the team will be able to do it," added Bender, who also said he had "a pretty strange feeling. I felt it was possible to do something here and, in the end, you lose 3-0 and deservedly."
