Andrea Pirlo criticized Juventus' performance in their 2-0 away loss to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League round of 16.

Pirlo stated that the Italian side "completely lacked personality and didn’t want to play” in an post-match interview with Sky Sports Italia.

Pirlo added that Juventus were “waiting and watching; it looked like they just wanted the clock to run down. Sooner or later Atlético were going to score.”
