Tudor Confident Despite Juventus 1-0 Champions League Loss to Real Madrid

Juventus suffered a 1-0 defeat to Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu, with Jude Bellingham scoring the decisive goal following a skillful effort by Vinicius Jr. Despite the loss, Juventus coach Igor Tudor expressed disappointment over missed chances and felt his team deserved at least a draw due to their effort and approach. Tudor highlighted Juventus's current struggles, including a winless run since mid-September and ongoing challenges with team clarity and leadership amid squad transitions. He emphasized that tactical changes matter less than the players' heart, running, and intention to win, calling on every player to step up as leaders. While acknowledging Juventus's strengths and weaknesses, Tudor remains optimistic, urging patience and faith in the team's trajectory. Juventus will look to end their slump in the upcoming Serie A match against Lazio, currently sitting seventh in the league standings.
