Juventus president Agnelli: We need a few days to evaluate

Juventus president Andrea Agnelli admits they need to assess everything after defeat to Lyon.

The result saw Juve tumble out of the Champions League at the round of 16 stage.

Agnelli said, “This season has been evidently bittersweet. It has been a very difficult campaign, we achieved a great result winning our ninth consecutive campaign and wrote a fantastic chapter in the history books.

“Maurizio (Sarri) deserves his own extraordinary page for himself, going from the amateur leagues to winning the Scudetto.

“In the Champions League, obviously, it's disappointing for us, for the players and the fans. As I said several times in recent years, the Champions league was a dream, now it has to be an objective.

“Going out like this is going to be a huge disappointment. We will take the next few days to consider, evaluate and decide how to go forward next season.

Juventus have these objectives, they have to be honoured, both domestically and in Europe. We have the best player in the history of the Champions League, which he proved again tonight, and we must start again with renewed enthusiasm."
