And we could laugh about that because they didn't mean to sit in most of the game or at least the second half.

But the difference was...

Juve had had so many chances.

They created so much but couldn't get the ball in the back of the net and it only took Wolfsburg a couple chances and that's the biggest difference where you have a team who might be defending most of the second half but they have one or two chances and they're able to put the ball in the back of the net.

So that's going to be the difference moving into these next rounds where, you know, you have to put the ball away once you get that chance.

And it can only be one.

And that will create the separation from the elite teams against the good teams.

I mean, Natalia, we can break this down a million ways, but is it just as simple as that, that...

the number one rule in football and maybe even in life.

You've got to take your chances and that's just what Juventus did not do and Wolfsburg did.

Yeah, and I know that when we were making our early season predictions, Ali, you of course had Juventus as a dark horse.

What impressed you so much about them then when you made that decision?

And how do you feel it all came apart now that we can do a little bit of a post-mortem?

Yeah, I think that they, you know, they controlled stretches of the game, right?

But once again, I said that, you know, Wolfsburg, for example, just understood the moments.

They had late discipline.

They had smarter pressure triggers.

You know, just the quality of created chances.

So the late game composure and discipline really separated themselves from Juve and ultimately decided that matchup.

So they had a great run.
