Juventus fell 3-4 away to Benfica last night.

This means that the Italian giant misses the play-offs in the Champions League for the first time since 2013/14.

- It is not a failure for us.

Losses and nights like these are part of football, says coach Massimiliano Allegri.

Crisis reigns in his club.

Juventus is eighth in the league and has major problems with the economy.

In the past, the team has dominated Italian football, winning the league nine seasons in a row.

- We have to keep our spirits up.

These things happen, even if we don't want them to.

We must not feel sorry for ourselves, says Allegri.
