Koke: Juventus an important game

Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke has pinpointed the game against Juventus as crucial to the team’s Champions League future.

Last season’s runners-up started this season’s campaign with a 3-2 defeat in Greece against Olympiakos and the Spain international told reporters following the final whistle that a lot rests on the visit of the Italian champions, who beat Malmo in their fixture.

“We know it’s a difficult group. We have to keep working to try and go through,” he said, according to AS.

“The home game against Juventus will be very important.

“We made three mistakes and they took advantage. Now we need to think about the next opponent.

“They came out strong and we have tried from set-pieces but we weren’t able to score. Then they got another and we tried to get back into it but didn’t have the luck.”
