#2 It was a night to forget for the Copa winner Jorge Sampaoli
Trending
When his team took the lead in the 9th minute, it was a cloud 9 moment for the Argentinian Sampaoli. But, the lack of experience of playing in Europe’s biggest club competition, proved costly for his side. From being a man down in the 36th minute to being sent to the stands in the 56th minute, it was a torrid night for the Sevilla manager.
Right at the stroke of half time, Sevilla gave away an easy penalty by virtue of a ludicrous shirt pull. It was 1-1 at the end of first half and Juventus were back in it. A man down and scores levelled, Sampaoli was livid with the referee and had to be cordoned off to the tunnel.
Instead of soothing the players’ nerves, he resumed his diatribe towards Mark Clattenburg. Consequently, he was sent off to the stands by the referee. The coach passed on his instructions from the first row of the stands, in clear violation of the guidelines. However, that did not seem to damage the visitors’ case as they comfortably sealed a 3-1 win.
