Manchester City suffered another defeat, this time on the way to Juventus.
Pep Guardiola's men dominated the match to a large extent, but it was the same old story when it came to the result.
The English Premier League champions got a counterattack early in the second half, as Dosan Flisovic shook his head with his head on the ground and above the goal line to give the old lady progress.
As City pressed a tie, they were punished again.
This time, Weston McKini was a acrobatic shot to double progress.
The City loss is left at a good distance from the automatic qualification centers with the remaining two matches, which means that they are likely to have to play a separate match.

How did that happen
The first half ended with a negative tie, in light of the two teams' inability to make opportunities.
Juventus was satisfied with sitting and absorbing pressure, while City took control of the ball but lacked creativity in the last third.
The best opportunity for Juventus came in the first half in the 20th minute when Kenan Yildiz cut the ball from the left and hit a powerful ball that passed next to the post.
On the other hand, City approached the scoring in the 40th minute when Kevin de Bruyne passed a wonderful ball to Erling Halland, but Juventus goalkeeper Michel de Gregorio intelligently tackled the Norwegian shot.
Juventus broke the stalemate in the 53rd minute by Flisovic.
Keenan Yildiz sent a precise cross to the back post, where Flisovic rose over the City defense to record his head in the net.
The ball reached Ederson, but the ball ran over the goal line to advance to the owners of the ground.

Kevin de Bruyne and Ilkai Gundogan approached the equalizer with long -term shots, but Juventus resurrected.
Juventus doubled his progress in the 75th minute with a stunning score by McCeni.
Timothy Wea, who entered as a cross, sent a cross to the back after the ball collided with his initial shot.
Makini hit a great ball in the bottom corner, and he did not leave any chance to Ederson.
Despite the involvement of alternatives such as Matius Nunes and Savinho, City was unable to find a way to return to the match.
They got a penalty in the 89th minute when Rico Louis Bjati's shot collided, but the referee rejected their allegations, and the assistant video ruling confirmed that there was no hand.
