No doubt, CR7 will be rested for the sake of his stamina for the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Porto on Wednesday (10/3) early morning Western Indonesian Time. Juventus must chase 1-2 on aggregate, meaning that at least 1-0 win in order to qualify for the next round.

“Good performance, even though we appeared late in the first 20 minutes. Indeed, we are resting some players for the Champions League match later,” said Pirlo as reported by DAZN.

Andrea Pirlo praised the players. Especially sang man of the match, Alvaro Morata.

“We haven’t brought Morata with us recently due to physical and other problems. He has different characteristics from all the other attackers in the squad and we can’t wait to see him with his 100 percent ability,” explained Pirlo.

Pirlo also doesn’t blame Dejan Kulusevski. No doubt, Kulusevski made a mistake by giving a pass and was easily cut by Joaquin Correa, who conceded the Old Lady’s goal.

“It’s only natural when he comes to Juventus at the age of 20 and there is a lot more pressure, like every pass seems important. But, he’s always proven his winning mentality,” said Pirlo.

“Overall, I like the reaction of this team. Let’s take a break and then look at the Champions League,” he concluded.
