'Juventus still believe despite Champions League final loss' - Lichtsteiner upbeat after Madrid defeat

The Serie A giants saw their famously frugal defence picked apart by the Blancos in Cardiff as they suffered a 4-1 drubbing on the grandest of stages

Stephan Lichtsteiner says Juventus still believe they can win the Champions League despite losing a fifth consecutive final.

Mario Mandzukic's stunning strike in Cardiff on Saturday was a mere consolation as Real Madrid won 4-1 to defend their title, foiling Juve at the final hurdle as the Serie A and Coppa Italia winners sought to claim the treble.

Lichtsteiner was an unused substitute and the defender insisted in a social media post that Juve can end their 21-year wait for another European crown.
