Giorgio Chiellini Laments Juventus' Lack of Focus in Atletico Madrid UCL Loss

Juventus captain Giorgio Chiellini has said he and his team-mates were not focused enough in Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League.

Jose Gimenez and Diego Godin scored late goals on set pieces that were cleared poorly by the Bianconeri, giving the hosts a deserved win. Speaking to Sky Sports Italia (h/t Football Italia), Chiellini maintained hope the Italians can turn the tie around:

"Incidents decide games, we knew they were very dangerous on set plays and we should've been more focused. Now we'll hit the reset button and try to turn this around.
