Failure report for Juve

Turin was waiting for Cristiano Ronaldo, the man for major meetings did not respond.

Despite an assist on one of the two goals of the young Federico Chiesa (23), the Portuguese must see his failure, after three disappointing seasons with Juve on the European level (one quarter, two eighths).

The feat is all the same that of Porto: reduced to ten from the 54th minute, the Portuguese stood up to the Old Lady, thanks to a double from Sergio Oliveira (19th from the penalty spot, 115th) and a first leg controlled at home (2-1).

For Andrea Pirlo's team, the disappointment is immense, especially as in the league, it is only 3rd two points behind the leader Inter Milan ... A sign that this team is in bad shape, it does not reacted only late, in overtime, with a goal from Adrien Rabiot (117th).

Haaland in another world

Ten goals this season in C1 (top scorer), 20 in the queen competition at only 20 years old (record), four consecutive braces (record) ... Records are raining down for Erling Haaland.

The Norwegian "cyborg" suffocated Sevilla as in the first leg (3-2) with two more goals scored in Germany (35th, 54th from the penalty spot) in a match that he will have marked with his incredible physical impact ... and of a little room for the Andalusian goalkeeper on his second goal.

After the disappointment against Paris SG last year - Borussia lost 2-0 at the Parc des Princes after winning 1-0 at home in the round of 16 - Edin Terzic's men set the record straight. hour by showing solid in spite of an anguish at the end of the meeting after the double of Youssef En Nesyri (69th on penalty, 90th + 6).

"VAR" and boxes in shambles

If Haaland's second goal was finally awarded from a penalty, it owes a lot to video referee assistance (VAR), which is difficult to follow in a completely insane streak early in the second half.

In order: Haaland believes he is scoring in the game after an overpowering tumble.

But his goal was canceled, the referee apparently having seen a foul from the Norwegian.

First rebound: the video assistants continue on a second viewing, that of a collision that occurred earlier in the Sevillian area ... and award a penalty to the Germans.

Haaland, again, launches, misses it, retries his chance with a strike, also stopped.

Second rebound: the VAR judges that the goalkeeper was not on his line ... penalty shot again ... and scored by the Norwegian.

And in Turin, the refereeing was not left out, between a hand in the non-whistled area for the benefit of Juve, an indulgent penalty awarded to Porto, two yellow cards inflicted ... in two minutes on Mehdi Taremi, and an end of overtime tinged with Turin criticisms addressed to the referee ...
