The defeat of Juventus against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night dealt a fatal blow to their aspirations of winning the Champions League, but the 2-0 defeat also cost the Italian champions more than 100 million pounds.

Nottingham Forest and Juventus have something in common: they have both been crowned champions of Europe twice. For one of the parties, it is a mbadive outperformance and for the Italians, an underperformance.

Juve had seven more chances to win the European Cup or Champions League after being seven finals without success. She has not won the competition since 1996, with five of her losses since.

Last summer, the old lady decided to spend about 90 million pounds to add Cristiano Ronaldo to his team. The former Real Madrid striker has won the competition five times, with two clubs, including the previous three seasons, and it was obvious that he had been brought to bring the trophy back to Turin.

Until then, Ronaldo has not managed to clear a path against the Italian in Europe, scoring only one goal. Wednesday night, they were beaten 2-0 in the first leg of the last match at 16 by Atletico Madrid. to the quarter-finals.

If it seemed like a powerful shot, the situation gets worse. The loss allowed them to fall by 11.11% on the stock market. With Forbes' latest rating of the club at £ 1,127 million, this means that their valuation has dropped by more than £ 100 million.

After Ronaldo's signing of last summer, the club recorded a huge recovery in his fortune, as shares rose 95% after the signing was confirmed.

The former Manchester United winger started very well in Serie A and scored 19 goals and 8 badists in just 24 games. It seems likely that he will win the championship for the eighth consecutive year.

Manager Max Allegri was criticized for his tactics with Atleti, his much better opponent, especially in the second half, but the Italian was upbeat for the second leg, saying: "The second half was ugly because we made the mistake of following their lead, and the Atleti are very good at letting a match go without a shot on goal.

"We had already taken a chance on the counter with a ball we had given, but we had not managed a shot in the second half …

"Now we have the chance to reverse the situation, we need to have faith, we will have players back and there is no point in crying for spilled milk, we knew it would be difficult, Atletico Madrid would force you to play badly with a slow tempo – we moved the ball faster in the first half, but not in the second.

Can Juve reverse the situation?
