ESPN FC’s Alejandro Moreno says Juventus’ defensive issues came to the forefront in a 2-2 draw against Atletico Madrid.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino accused his players of not respecting the plan after they squandered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 away to Olympiakos in their Champions League opener on Wednesday.
