Juventus has gone from emergency-mode to a state of joy and back to crisis in the space of three days. The current state could last a while, even if the Turin power manages to win at newly promoted Bari on Saturday. A devastating 4-1 home loss to Bayern Munich on Tuesday eliminated Juventus from the Champions League, three days after the Bianconeri managed to beat Serie A leader Inter Milan.
David Trezeguet, who had been doubtful to start with a calf injury, scored in the 19th minute. Bayern pulled level when Jorg Butt put aside his goalkeeping duties to fire home a 30th-minute penalty and Ivica Olic gave them the lead six minutes into the second half. Van Gaal could finally rest easy when Mario Gomez made it 3-1 with seven minutes to go before Anatoliy Tymoschukto added a fourth in the last minute to send Bayern through from Group A with Bordeaux.
