Thiago Motta accepted full responsibility for Juventus' disappointing 2-0 defeat against Benfica, emphasizing the team's poor performance. Despite being already qualified for the Champions League knockout stage, the loss in Turin saw Juve drop to 20th in the standings. Motta criticized their lack of finishing ability, comparing their expected goals of 0.92 to Benfica's 2.4. Juve's struggles continued as they faced backlash from fans after failing to win for the fifth time in eight home matches in the competition. Motta stressed the need for improvement before their next game against Empoli.
"Today we didn't deserve the victory. Benfica created and finished better than us," Motta told reporters.
"I'm definitely the one responsible, but the boys are trying to give their best. When there is a defeat, we are the first to be dissatisfied."
