Juventus coach Tudor positive after Real Madrid defeat

Juventus coach Igor Tudor was upbeat after their Champions League defeat at Real Madrid.

Juve were beaten 1-0, with Jude Bellingham scoring the only goal of the game.

Tudor said afterwards: "We played the game we prepared for. We deserved more, we deserved to score, and we're disappointed, but the team was there.

"It's not easy to put in a performance like that at the Bernabeu, and we should have done better with the ball, but it's not easy against them.

"The result matters to me, but I feel like the team was doing well and we just missed the goal.

"The team needed a performance like this against a tough team. We're leaving today with disappointment and a sense of place. Now we're looking forward."

On the performance of Dusan Vlahovic, Tudor added: "Dusan played a top-notch match, and I also liked how he held his own in his big opportunity. He remained calm and focused, and he did well."
