Yes, Juventus had an outside chance to get into the top eight as the final day of the Champions League league phase dawned on Wednesday night. Juve actually moved up two places to 13th, moving into a slightly better pod for Friday’s draw. At the end of the day, Juve went through the game with minimal expenditure of energy, no one pushing the yellow card threshold got booked, and no one got injured. It wasn’t until the last five minutes of the half that Juve really started to show some life in the final third.
