Juventus young gun Giovinco still confident despite penalty miss

Sebastian Giovinco was upbeat post-match despite missing a penalty in Champions League action overnight.

The Juventus star started the match and was full of confidence after scoring in the weekend Serie A victory at Lecce.

However his penalty miss in the second half prevented Juventus from completing the Champions League group round with a victory against Bate Borisov.

"It's a shame, but if I get the chance again then I will take the penalty. We all train and then decide on the penalty taker. The usual takers were out, so it fell to me," Giovinco said after the match.
