Italian papers lament over Juventus throwing away first-leg lead against Tottenham in their Champions League last-16 clash, but insist tie is not over

There was a sombre mood portrayed through Italy's biggest sports papers on Wednesday morning after their top side slid to a draw against Tottenham.

Juventus had cruised into a two-goal lead in Turin thanks to Gonzalo Higuain's double, but the Argentine was guilty of missing a penalty as Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen steered the tie firmly in the north London side's favour.

There were feelings of regret and fears over an opportunity missed etched across the front pages of Italy's big three sporting dailies, but all concurred that a place in the Champions League quarter-finals is not yet out of reach.
