Juventus coach Antonio Conte insists they're not failures after their Champions League elimination. Conte was irritated when asked if going out in the group phase represented a 'failure' of the campaign.
"Failure in what? That we didn't win the Champions League? If our target for the season was to win the Champions League then it's a failure, but the truth is we could've had a longer journey in the tournament.
"I don't recall us ever saying our objective was the Treble, putting the Champions League first, then the Scudetto and Coppa Italia. If you think that from one day to the next you can create dominant teams, then just remember we already performed a miracle in being protagonists again.
"Last season we went out in the quarter-finals against eventual winners Bayern Munich. We didn't start strong this year and that damaged our chances, but it takes time. This isn't the same Champions League I used to play in, as you face teams that are economically difficult to match."
