SPORTS: UCL:JUVENTUS vs BAYERN MUNICH
Juventus count the cost as Coman inspires Bayern Munich’s revival
There’s an irony around Kingsley Coman’s inspired performance which rescued Bayern Munich and Pep Guardiola with a 4-2 extra-time, second-leg win over Juventus in the last 16 of the UCL. Karma has had its revenge on Juventus, who were punished for a similar strategic error to that which allowed Paul Pogba to leave Manchester United for the Bianconeri.
Juventus blitzed Guardiola’s men in a whirlwind opening 45 minutes at the Allianz Arena, and appeared on course to reach the quarter-finals after Pogba’s early opener was added to by Juan Cuadrado. But Bayern roared back in the second half and Guardiola’s decision to introduce Coman to his parent club in the 60th minute was the turning point.
Juventus have been afforded the luxury of having Paul Pogba in their team due to one the biggest mistakes in Sir Alex Ferguson’s career. But it was their own summer transfer blunder – letting Coman join Bayern on loan – which led to elimination in the Champions League this term.
