Wilmar Barrios: "You can't allow a team like Juventus to have chances like that"

That was a tough defeat to take in the final minutes. What went wrong at the end?

We lost concentration and that allowed them to score. You can't allow a team like Juventus to have chances like that. We allowed them one counterattack and they scored straight away. This is a very disappointing defeat and it’s sad to lose at home. But we continue to aim to progress from the group and will keep fighting to the end. We’ll do everything we can to earn points in the next games.

Zenit had a number of good chances in the first half and even more in second. What was said during the break?

The plan was the same as before kick off, to try to get the win at home. That was our sole aim, but we made a mistake and they scored, so we didn’t reach our goal. But we will continue to fight 

This is the third defeat in a row for Zenit. Today's opponent were clearly better than the other teams, but is there any pressure on you now as a team? You’ve another tough match on Sunday.

A big club like Zenit is always under pressure because when something goes wrong, everyone pays attention. Yes, we’ve made mistakes in each of the games that we’ve lost. But the most important thing is to look forward, we have a big game against Spartak on Sunday and we have to do everything to win.
