In this match, AS Roma pressed the field and fired 11 shots (only two were on target). Meanwhile, Juventus proactively gave the game to AS Roma to counterattack.

After the match, coach Mourinho said AS Roma played better and deserved to win. Sharing on DAZN, the Portuguese coach said: "It's disappointing to go into the break with a score of 0-0. AS Roma dominated the opponent in the first half.

We had 3 or 4 clear scoring opportunities but we couldn't take advantage. To be fair, AS Roma deserved the 3 points from this match. We were unlucky, and Juventus were defensively focused but they got the 3 points.

Although I am satisfied with the players' fighting spirit, I also admit that the team lacks quality in attack. The players need to get back on track and come back soon."
